  1. New to the Buick family, but GM my entire career with Oldsmobile (Balch) in 1982-83, joined Parker Cadillac in 1984, still here 37 years later. a friend(?) saw this '64 WC on marketplace, sent it to me, and now it's in my shop. Many gen-1 Camaro over the years, a couple Vette along the way, but never a Buick. this one been sitting since 2000, but engine was not seized, so a few hours later she's purring pretty nice. Found out the hard way Buick didn't share Chevy firing order, but duh, it was right there on the valve cover!

    The old car is in fair shape, been shot velvet black with a rattle can somewhere along the way, but it'll do for now. needing some interior parts, so any direction would be appreciated. need both door panel assemblies (with switches) and a left kick panel. Also missing the power top switch I think.

    Anyhow, thanks for letting me join, and I look forward to interacting with this group!
