-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I Am A Frequent User Of This Site, And As I Have Looked Through All Of The Posts I Have Noticed That There Are Very Few 50's Buicks On Here. Where Did All Of Those Cars Go To? Are There A Bunch Scattered About The Country In Various Bone Yards, Etc..? Where There Just Not As Many Produced During That Time? Does Anybody Know? Anyway Here's My 56, I Haven't Seen A Whole Lot Of This Particular Model Around. Mike
Thats cause you live near victorville HAHA! Most of the older cars go here. http://www.buickclub.org/
Yeah, not too many 50's owners here. V8Buick is mostly a 60's and 70's place. Not intentionally though. As Phil says, most that are online, probably hang out on the BCA board.
George AFB George AFB is not used as an airbase anymore, there are alot of businesses out there now, its actually called Southern Calif. Logistics Airport now, they have a huge airplane hanger where they refurbish commercial airlines etc... Its changed a lot up here in the high desert in the last few years, growing incredibly fast.

where did all the 50's Buicks go ? Hi, Just finishing my 1950 Sedanette 2dr. Total body off retro rod. New Ram Jet 350 . 350hp 400ft.lb torque. Candy Apple Red. Trying find hood hinges to make it open from the front instead of the side. Will try to post photos in 60 days.
Bruce & Shirl recently aquired a 56 Special and the first weekend with the car they put it up on a dyno :eek2: That puppy really showed us all something that day. The HP numbers are being kept secret so as to not make the 455 guys jealous :rant: Nice 56 BTW :TU: D.
I had the extreme pleasure of putting a couple miles on her the following day (thanks Bruce) :TU: It has quite a different feel than anything I've ever driven before :3gears: And swell guy that Bruce is he would'nt tell me how to start it :rant: I felt like a real dope when he showed me ou: D.
Here's one for you. At least a part of one. Not a good pic. but I will get better ones next time it goes to a show.
I don't know where the 56's are, but check out this guys auctions. He must own half the 58 Limiteds in the US. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=39405&item=4547345698&rd=1
Yeah, I was out there right before it closed(with the afore mentioned ex-wife, she was current wife at the time) I heard that they had done lots with the place. It sure would be neat to see it now!
