    Like to search for photos on the internet of the sixties and seventies, sometimes catching a Buick:

    Would there be a reason only finding Buicks in that part of town? :grin:

    In the Ellensburg picture, is that a 61 in front of that red 68 Plymouth?

    the very first picture is a 74 electra 225 ... i would love to have one for a daily driver. i have the 4 door limited but the 225 would be my preference.

    I agree
    74 limited or 225 would be a perfect daily driver

    When I was reading the Feb 1-14, 2014 issue of The Trucker magazine, what should appear in a story about J J Keller?? How about a 68 Sportwagon parked in front of Keller's first office in Neenah, WI!!

    Here's a link to that story, go to digital edition, page 9. -> http://www.virtualonlineeditions.com/publication/?i=194065

    I love looking up the current Google street view of old buildings! I do it all the time with dealership postcards. Its kind of depressing though. You see a postcard of a beautiful 50's dealership and then look up the current pic and see the building deteriorated or boarded up.

    typical example- Tremont Chevrolet. 1470 Bruckner Blvd in the Bronx. if your familiar with the Bronx, you'll notice no expressway in the old pic. Look at the current image- sad.
