Thanks guys (and gal). The car is owned by my brother Gary and I. Gary found it on Craigslist and it's pretty cool.

It's had one repaint, spent a bit of it's life in Indiana (though not too much, as we had the car up on a lift at the sellers house and it's pretty clean underneath) and has under 60,000 original miles. Gary found a receipt from a few years ago in Indiana for some work done at 40,000 miles.


It's got the white pearl interior...and is REALLY comfortable to drive and sit in. For a convertible, there aren't too many rattles or squeaks.

Look for the mileage to increase on the odometer soon!

BTW, Ken couldn't be the only one having fun in a convertible! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

Re: Bruce`s (Xplantdad) newest Buick

I also have to thanks Rick(who took time out of his evening) and his family, who came with us to look at the car...and inspect it along with us! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/youguysrock.gif[/img]

Re: Bruce`s (Xplantdad) newest Buick
 

Nice Bruce! Chances are I saw it when is was brand new, loaded on a rail-car heading out of town.

Re: Bruce`s (Xplantdad) newest Buick
