there are times when you need a 5 or 6 passenger vehicle, and now that they frown on hauling people in the pick up box, a guy might need a four door sedan. go for it, just don't haul cow manure in it. dick r.

Congrats Bob! I have my list of other makes as well.....just waiting for the first one to fall in my lap. Should make a nice project, and when you're frustrated on it for the while, you can still hop in the F2 and go for a ride. Some of us can't do that yet, lol.

That's also what I thought when I saw the title. Bob that is a very complete car and will make a nice addition. When you go to car shows, your wife can drive the buick and you can drive a truck. Every body's happy.

Bob - You, more than most, know the drive behind this forum is more about the reward of building than the brand name, There's no straying here...just the coolness of the build. Besides.....she likes it. That's a big green light to me!!!
Cool car, man!

She's starting to waffle about the car so I need to go down ASAP and pick it up. I've already made arrangements to do it tomorrow. It's basically a no lose situation. My neighbor, the guy who was needling me, said if I don't want the car once I get it home he'll buy it for what I'll have into it. He thinks he can flip it for a good profit. I know he can, he's done it a hundred times before.

Tanner, the key thing about the car is she likes it. My wife isn't really interested in my trucks, or anything that relates to them.

We're heading down early tomorrow morning to pick up the Buick. Same gang of guys going except for one, my youngest son is taking his place. I think we're going to need the muscle, he's a big boy 6'2", close to 275 lbs and 16 years old.
We might also be bringing home a '59 Edsel, my neighbor saw it there last week when he bought a '53 Hudon Wasp and drove it home.
