I'm still amazed that week after week he comes up with a completely new lineup...that town must have a unique car tucked away in every garage! Or they truck them in.....

Stu, how many belong to classic car/hot rod dealerships?

The fun fact about this event (and I've been going since when it was at Crystal Cove) is that 90% of what shows up belongs to individuals who just love their cars. It gets spiced up almost very week because there are some great car guys with good connections who take the time to attract something interesting every week---like the Challenger prototype that was there this week---southern Cal is a great place if you're a car nut!

cliff...these meets of yours are soooo GREAT....I grew up in one of those BUICK wagons...funny thing my father bought it brand new 1955 (2-tone Blue and WHite) and owned it until a new Buick in 1967....when I was in Grade school I was embarassed when mom would drop me off places in it (occaisionally would get referenced to as a BOAT ANCHOR)....MAN HOW TIMES CHANGE!!!

keep up the GREAT posts......

They don't make engines like THAT anymore!

That Buick engine almost seems British, with the total loss oil system.

I thought that old Jag XK140 was the one with the custom grille! Do you have a photo of it - the grille?

The hood was laid up against a tree the whole time I was there. To high to get a shot.

I posted a shot of it with the bonnet on a few months back. You can see it in the Lord Mr. Ford video I did.

But unlike the English version, the Buick has an on-board re-oiler. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/thumbsup.gif
