JH, if you like Buick's here is a resto of a Caballero (a reminder code I guess you had it way before us):https://www.gatsbyonline.com/automob...ustoms-493136/

Can't be many out there and only one with that "paint combo"

Bad picture but guy with the UK knockoff Vette last night at dinner, he made multiple laps around the square to get the spot at the door

Almost got the fancy SUV bingo card filled today, Aston, Bentley, Lamborghini, Porsche, Grenadier, but no Rolls, 2 yesterday and they're horrific in matte paint, or Ferrari though

And now for something completely different this afternoon, just an old Ford dual tank flavor

Nice truck. Also good to see Publix. 'Where shopping's a pleasure' was their tagline, I seem to remember. And they were right.

My favorite Beretta fact is that GM used the Beretta name without the firearm manufacturers permission. They had a reasonable settlement out of court and as an act of goodwill GM sent this hunk of **** to Italy (albeit good looking garbage for the time) and it sits in Beretta's headquarters to this day.

Leaves hide all the leaks from the Ford parts, can't see the electricity leaking out

Something about the B pillars door handle that gets me over the mid panel handle

If its a long wheel base, seeing the rear doors, in EU they are called Daimler. Best colors are Cardinal Red on white leather trim.

Why do Jaguars always end up looking good?

Very topical.


I wonder what Tata's stance will be if the 'all electric' thing gets superceded by sustainable fuel ICEs?

[fieldodreams79]

Spotted broad's favorite vehicle of all time today. It was mint. How did they do it?

[broadrun96]

Because it was such an uncomfortable pos they never wanted to use it?

Somewhere my old one is probably in a field rolled over or turned in to a meth cooker shed and burned up. The vent window was its undoing, popped it and stole the radio/speakers and tools, then stole it later. Stupid short to ground somewhere in it trying to start was a PITA

Goodness gracious. Thank you for posting. If you needed any proof that Harley Earl was the greatest car designer in American history, there it is. It's cool to see that it lives on, especially overseas. The four port holes means that it was top of the line!

I love Buicks although I've never owned one. Maybe one day I'll own an all black one, turbocharged from the 80's. Although, I wouldn't turn this down, or a 50's Skylark, or a 1960s/1970 GS or GSX or a multitude of others. Buick is the thinking man's Cadillac. Hell, even my Mom drives a 2017 Buick GS, so the thinking women's Caddy as well.

Aw, that makes me sad. You replace the front brake rotors with every oil change. You can tell because of the way that it is. And experience.

A good Publix sub will destroy a Subway sandwich at half the price. It's a shame we only export our very worst fast food. Y'all don't get the good stuff for the most part. Although I've heard Popeyes and Five Guys are making their way over there. McDonald's is what it is but KFC makes me ashamed to be an American. Also, Kentucky is beautiful, don't judge it on that trash.

And that truck is Maverick sized today

[Gerard C]

Correct about Five Guys, JH, we have a pair around. But I never had the curiosity to push the door of any and so did my relatives. Will try, closest to my location is La Défense Quatre Temps, Westfield mall.
Trip Advisor rating not very encouraging tho… https://www.tripadvisor.fr/Restauran...de_France.html

I went to the F1 Grand Prix at Indianapolis in circa 2006 or 2007 then travelled down to the Carolinas and the Smokey mountains. The part through Kentucky was the best with wonderful rolling hills. My previous experience with the US was Florida, New Orleans, Chicago and New York (city) and I remember thinking as we travelled through Kentucky 'oh, there are hills in the USA!'.
