    I will definitely take you up on that sir! Visiting you and your buick barn is now officially on my "to do" list when we take our vacay. Sorry kids we have to make a slight detour before going to Disneyland :D:)

    Anyone and everyone is always welcome to visit the Buick Barn. It's not real fancy or anything. Functional one could say.

    OH WOW!!! So that's what a unicorn looks like. Thanks for sharing that Brad. I still can't believe only one was ever made, I would've thought the black would have been a popular choice back then?

    It was not an available color, that's why you don't see any except this one. Long story short...guy wanted black car with gold stripes. Went to Len Immke Buick in Columbus. They said no black with gold...could get gold with black. No way, he says, he'll go buy a chevy. Strings were pulled, car special ordered. Dealer painted the gold upon arrival...red pinstripes were on the car as well as decals, etc. Immke had huge pull with Buick back in the day.

    That's a cool story, it's amazing what can be done and or changed to keep the customer happy. I love hearing these old stories of weird rare special order stuff or accidental things being put into cars on the line etc. The new age car world is boring, just so plain Jane and robotic.

    And after looking at your IP (mods can do that...) I am right on your way to Disney. Not really any detour at all!

    Perfect! I'd give you a heads up before heading down to make sure the timing is ok. We're hoping to take the girls to Disneyland sometime in the new year.

    Brad,
    I always said I would be a millionaire if I could figure out how to make air fresheners smell like Cam2.:D:D

    You do know that we can only bring the car to MCACN with a 1/4 tank of fuel or less, and there is a little over that in there now, at least there was.........................

    Of course you know what this means, someday I get to drive the "White" car, but I promise it would be very casually.

    Sniffing exhaust fumes Brad?:D:D Reminds me of Cheech and Chongs bit, "Ralph and Herbie" "Hey Ralph, let's chase cars and get off on the exhaust"
