I have been to 100 buick and other shows, some know me. I drive a 72 with 455 to now 463ci, wild cam ,posten intake, 875 avenger carb, 3000 stall, stage one valves and porting, seats to springs ground to custom hvy springs, Kenne belle oil plate pressure up, 4 core hearse cooling, electric fans , 468 hp and what most know me by are my tail pipes and paint. The paint is antique white buick on lower and indigo blue upper and a house of color purple over whole car. Pipes are 2.5 with chamber pipes and 6 inch M1 90mm mortor shells for tips 3/16 inch thick forge iron chromed. Chicago show said they heard me coming before hitting the parking area at the hotel agood 200 yards away idling in. Did chicago to Minneapolis in 4.5 hours, you figure. The car does not level out horse and motor comfort till 80 mph. 95 you are just floating. Now the interior is 75 Parkavenue bucket seat and full console done in oyster naghide doors and seats and rear deck, floors are dark blue plush . The body shop with hp in car would not cut roof to a full targa as wanted at risk of twist time. So instead double padded in white. The car looks like a 53-4 color scheme of 2 tone Buick. Put 455 in my Apollo too. My other driver is a 455 73 in my 76 Parkave bucket seat car.
Lets get some better pictures up if possible, I like how your going all out, I would like to do my 72 electra in the same fashion, maybe not as ALL OUT, but with the 463 etc. Good luck, it just needs some big feet on it. :kodak: Will you be at the Chicago Dub show in July? Let me know I'll stop out for this alone!
hello, these are the only digital at this time, car in garage storage, will get out soon, I will be at the regionals in August in Milwaukee for bca 10-12, working on a rare roadhawk right now. The duce gets a 11 on freeway and about 9 in town, too much power and heavy car. Back door handles are shaved too to make look of a big 2 door. craig

Pm me if you need a couple. Unfortunately, I don't know how to upload one so people could print their own.
Craig the interior is great, that is what I want to do with '76. Did you have them recover a set of original park avenue bucket seats, or did you have them build those from scratch? Do they still have the power controls? Were you ever able to find an original type replacement for the plush Park Avenue carpet? Is that what you are using now? Post better pictures of the interior when you can.
Looking for a center console for my Park Avenue. Let me know what's out there. Thanks in advance, Sean B Dayton, Ohioray:

Here was this past summer show pics to add seats were done out of a 75 park ave black , the upholstery shop did take all skins off and did a total rebuild out of white soft leather. console was out of same car. it was fitted with same material. custom gauges were added to inside of console 2 5/8" 4 pc set. 3 inch whites were added this year to take the 53-54-55-56 cars a run for the looks in 2 tone
