I don't know if he was the picken or the grinnen, but I don't think Jr would have had that on his lot.

 

He might. Give him a call..BR-549

 

Not my cup of tea.

 

Huge respect for Buck, and as a performer, he was all about the fans. Right up until the night he died. Nice power plant in the Merc.

 

Didn’t know he was a car guy. Three pedals, cool.

 

I’d drive it

 

How many "Buckaroos" can you fit inside a '51 Merc?

 

He was a Grinn’en but also a wife beater!

 

Buck was as bald as a cue ball. One of his older record jackets shows him with quite a wide part.

I saw him on TV some years ago, some country music award. Dwight Yoakum was doing his introduction, Buck was about 73 sheets-to-the wind. They cut to a commercial, when the show came back, no Buck Owens...

 

And it’s got the cool steering wheel
Real spot lights and 3 pedals


Mmmmmm

is that an overdrive pull?

 

Massive.
Might even need jaw surgery

 

Him and Marty Robbins.

 

The flames need to go, don't go with the build

 

Nice Merc! I always enjoyed his music…..

 

He had a few nice customs including. I believe at 39 tub.

 

I dig on Buck Owen's music, but I don't love the car. It seems like a good example where having the right elements doesn't necessarily lead to a top notch custom. Here you see Merc accessory wheel, Cadillac engine with Horne intake, manual trans, a chopped convertible top, and so on. But the end result is just sort of "eh". The overall scheme is sort of '80s '50s.

 

What's that screen in the trunk? I can't figure it out.

 

Been to his bar once

 

Then you have seen his other car...

I think that is because they are tooo personalized. Auction is not the way to go in my opinion on that car. They say there is a buyer for everything, but you need two or more to make an auction work. One buyer gets the car cheap

 

I agree, that's the way it works. I do not see the car bringing a lot of money at BJ.

 

Well, I like it.
But I ain't gonna bid on it.

 

The Caddy behind the bar?

 

I thought I saw a caddy
