    Hello all,

    Thank you all for your positive comments and thumb's up. This truly is a special Stage 1 car. The color combination, options and level of detailed restoration is something that really needs to be seen to be appreciated. I hope the car go's to a true Buick enthusiast so it can be cared for appropriately. Please PM me if you have any questions.

    Juan, your stage one is stunning. With the current market, I would take it Barrett Jackson or Mecum. GLWTS.

    Thanks Stage 2.
    Agreed. Those venues seem to be bringing some very high dollar sales. However, not really keen on complete strangers walking up and fiddling with and sitting in my car without me knowing. I would rather sell the car for less money and see it go to a real collector than go the big auction house route.

    Hello all. For those of you who wanted better pics. Once again not a professional photographer but I think better than the last bunch.

    What a beautiful car! Is that overflow NOS?

    A cold start/driving video wouldn't hurt one bit, either. Must be nice to be able to drive them year round...

    Yes, I was planning on charging the system. One of the last few items on the check off list.

    Hi Brett,
    Yes, I believe the overflow is NOS. Can you or anyone else help me confirm. In terms of a cold start and running/driving video that is in the works. As for the weather, yes, this is probably the best time of year to be in south Florida.

    It looks pretty unused to me. That or you/someone did a great job of cleaning it.

    Seen this car up close, I can tell you the picture do not do it justice. Good luck.

    ^^^That was the point of my original comments about his photography. This car is striking color wise. It is one of those cars that can't be truly seen in a picture.

    UPDATE:
    With the help of friends, family and of course the all mighty we were rewarded with several first place awards at the National AACA show held in Florida.
