I never realised you had one of those babies. Very very nice car.

As I see American metal all the really stylish cars were made between the early sixties to the early seventies. After that they kind of lost their way, turning out tin boxes with not much soul or style.

But that's just me! I'm sure plenty of you guys will remember some later models you like.

{PS Jerry, did you know the Riviera's birthday comes up this Sunday, 4th October? }

Mine was built in sept of 1962! VIN number 7J1116113
It was bought by a Buick salesman named Paul Hendrikson, before it hit the LOT!

(I know his Grandson.)
The car died one day, due to really cold temps. It had ice in the fuel lines. It stalled within 'drifting' distance from a driveway. I drifted into the driveway and asked the woman that answered the door if I could leave it there for a day or so. She told me that I could leave it there"as LONG as I wanted to". It was her 'deceased' HUSBANDS car!!
I left it there for 3 weeks, till the temps warmed up to the point that it would start.
She took a hundred pics of it parked there. Nice lady!!
