The 56 Buicks are so Kool ......my total favorite is probably the 53 Super I had one years back ..well my 48 2dr. Torpedo Buick was really....and the 52 super both Kool ...as was the 27 Buick sedan I just recently sold....what can I say ... I like old Buicks wish I still had them all..there was more..including a 67 Buick GS 455 4spd. was originally a 400...then there was The 56 Special " The Panty Dropper"I showed it and hit every Cruzin and other events including publicity stunts that I could make it to for about five years....after these pics were taken the car got a complete T&R upholstered trunk , under hood covers , front fender wells plus everything that I could unbolt under the hood got chromed and the engine got detailed chromed out and topped off with a completely polished log intake with six polished 97's in fact one year was getting all ready for the Roadster show and I contacted the guy that was doing the manifold and setting up the carbs he was so close to the set up time in getting it ready I ended up by stoping by his shop and picking up the completed intake set up and continuing to the show ,driving the car , once at the show and I got my spot I then proceeded to swap out the the intake....and was all done by the time the show started....and to top that off a while later I was looking through my new Rod Action or one of them...and there was a article by Al Drake on the Roadster show and couldn't believe what I saw... A nice half or quarter page , in color, complete side shot picture of the Buick and right in front of the car....my fat ass bent over working on the intake preparing it to install..... I have lost track of the magazine threw the years and I can't remember for sure what one it was... I have talked to Al Drake about it and have never narrowed it down ....so if you see one I would like to buy it .... I believe if was 84-5 right in there close ..Portland Roadster show.....sorry for the crappy pics...it wasn't this show if was a couple years later?
Thanks. .....Terry (Rudestude)

The guy with the green Mopar Ranchero did have a stable with some pretty nice customs. Still does? He might of been the owner.

 

Great story. Stunning car!

 

Love the short lake pipes on the Buick in the second photo.

 

We got the Camaro sub frame to low in my friend's '50 Chevy truck so radiused the front fender wells round ( like back ). Hey, we were kids.....
Next owner took 1/2 inch out between grille bars, and trimmed lower front fender..

I really like it, Wish we would have thought of it, looks sooooo good. And so subtle

"Shorties."





Less common placement on this Plymouth, still look great.

 

Oops sorry ... I thought it was the second car in the post that was just ahead of it...the Olds.. which is the second car ... I didn't see that he said Buick..that dark blue print is difficult for me to see........ I got to stumble on something occasionally....the last thing I want is to be perfect......that's boring......
