When I was 19 years old or so, I just happened upon a Buick Club of America show in Norman, OK. I think they were gathered in a Walmart parking lot or some other random, generic locale. Among the 20 or so cars proudly displayed by old men in satin ja... <BR><BR>To read the rest of this blog entry from The Jalopy Journal, click here.
Great story. No doubt Mark is a good dude. Good luck with the trip and build. Maybe I'll get to check it out at the RJ show.
First and foremost, Mark (generalgow) is the salt of the earth. He sent a care package to my son when he was sick and ever since I have had the deep and love (yeah I said it) respect for him. He truly is an awesome feller and it doesn't surprise me one bit that he went above and beyond to help this transaction go smoothly. Road Trip thread!!! Awesome!!! I am working on ironing out some details to vend some Sugar City Stuff at the Revival show. Hopefully my '35 will be there as well!!!! Can't wait to see the Riv. I need to see what all the fuss is about.
glad you got your dream going in your direction.gotta say boss, i see why you like the 65 riv. BEAUTIFUL car....oh yea, i saw a satin jacket the other day in a thrift store. what size do you wear...im going back TODAY to look at it fer ya..lol
So, the general is storing them for you? I wonder how hard he's listening to either the winged fella or horned fella sitting on his shoulder? Me, I'm weak. You'd be picking up those cars with bald tires and bits of rubber stuck to the lower quarters.
If I remember correctly....Ryan extended the year to '65 JUST to include a Riviera. I just saw a REAL nice '65 in Orange,for sale about an hour ago.
The HAMB has ALWAYS been 1965 and under. Folks get confused as the classifieds are 64 and under. The reason for the discrepancy? It's easier to moderate the muscle cars and what not out of the general discussion than it is the classified ads.
I stand corrected,Chief...obviously the person who told me this was ill-informed,haha. I wasn't here in the early days.
You're more than welcome, buddy. But I really hope that I did what almost anyone would do given the opportunity. What's the sense in creating an online community of hot rodders if we aren't gonna act like a real life community given the chance? No biggie. Glad to help. And fear not, the rubber is all on the tires and not on the quarters, or pavement...
Sounds like this is going to another fun thread.The open road beckons. Good luck.Have fun.Be safe. Leo
Can't wait to see pics! The 65 Riv had the same effect on me. Saw one for the first time in an Esquire magazine in 1999. I was mesmerized from the first time I laid eyes on it. Looking forward to following this post!
It was my pleasure to be able to assist in making sure you had enough info to make an informed decision. You made a wise choice. Congrats bud. Looking forward to reading about your road trip.
