Boring

Cool. Congrats. It's no Grand National but it's a neat car. If Razoredge was still around here he'd be salvinating.

Fly: I would say use has DECREASED. People are lazier & order out MORE do they not? As far as crappy appliances it's indicative of EVERYTHING in the 21st century.

This is going to be the third, or perhaps fourth post in this thread where I say let's drop it. Vanilla/Chocolate.

Gorgeous! http://www.buickclub.ch/cars/Merten_57-century.html

Good luck finding this DeSoto...

Dodgefan: Offer still stands, I'll help you get the'69 started if only to get the fluids circulating and see how roadworthy she is, perhaps after the whole Tulsa trip. Right now 've got my hands FULL!

Dodgeafan: I still might buy the 1976 LeSabre but only to flip it and make a quick $$$. As of this week my Datsun "Zwei" will belong to some college kid & I will once again own a roadworthy Cadillac. Mean time if I buy the LeSabre I will cledan it up, repaint it and sell it on eBay for a quick $$$. I just might send it to Europe where it will be appreciated more a& it'll never become a part fo the retarded DONK/BOX/BUBBLE subculture that is growing like a cancer amongst the ghetto rats. This is the car that has got me all hot & horny right now: 1977 CADDY CADILLAC COUPE DEVILLE - $700 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2007-05-02, 2:17PM EDT

I think the Enclave is pretty nice for what it is... (I f$ing hate transverse mounted motors) but the most beautiful production Buick of all time is the '39, folloed closely by the 1959 Riv. When I think of most modern Buicks I think BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND, not beautiful.

I have thought of it. I've thought of also maiking a specialty business built around the idea of convedrting sedans into hardtops.

Last gen. B-bod Caprices are EVERYWHERE, granted usually they have stupid dub-rims. The Chevette is made in 1:24 size in a cheesy series called "Sweet Cherry Editions" the other cars in the series are the Pinto, Vega & Gremlin. I always think of WMJ when I see them since he's got such "eclectic" taste in 1970s weirdness... (not an insult)

Damn, almost forgot: while I was test driving a big bannana yellow Cadillac Coupe deVille I just might buy I saw the most mint tripple white early '80s Fleetwood Brougham I've seen in years.

dfmoeller: Thanks for putting in your $0.02 Hardtops are addictive. NOS: Have them fall in love with the pillarless hardtop greenhouse (exterior) so that they actually GET inside the car so they can SEE the interior! Fly: Back in the 1960s even the homely, cheap-assed Nova had a hardtop bodystyle so I am very sorry to tell you your concept of "hardtops are for Luxury cars" agrument is silly and a mentality like that is what got us glued in rear windows to begin with. I'd rather have my head up in the clouds like a hopeless optimist than be a doomsday pessimist like so many of you on this board. All I hear is can't, can't, CAN'T!!!! How about for once GM does!? I will go out here on a limb and say that the Camaro will NOT have a b-pillar in true hardtop fashion. I was laughed at back in 2004 when I insisted that a 5th gen. Camaro will be a reality and laughed at even more by many here when I said it should be ubber 1st gen. retro. Seems to be when it comes to the Camaros' ressurection I have had the last laugh more than once.

- 1968 Camaro RS/SS in butternut yellow, top down (but windows up ) on Rt.101A in Nashua, NH - 1987 Buick GN, t-top. I honked the horn on the B-59 as I drove past him in city traffic, gave me dirty look. - 1960s VW Bug, cream - Some newer BMW 330ix with a super hot MILF who smiled real big and gave me thumbs up on Buick-59. Yeah, there's LOW profile tires & then there's NO profile tires. Only a true moron puts flavor of the week looks ahead of functionality with a car like that. Seriously it's utter stupidity.

I'm just saying FWD & stupidity mix well.

Well... where it says "Suddenly it's 1960" it's actually a 1957 Dodge, the ad is trying to make the point that Fifty-7s were way out ahead.

Well... I was being fecisious but still, I've had a few SUVs (All Chevys) and even my jacked up beyond legal limits 1988 Full Size Blazer with 33" tires that rode higher than most Peterbilt 379s would not prevent me from buying a nice old B-body if the money was right.

I love F.S. edition Imperials, but if I owned that & my B-59 which one of the two do you think will see salt/sand/snow/sleet/slush? Besides, if you do a high pressure undercarigge wash often most of the damage is prevented.

Yeah.... that damn sure ain't a Dodge arse. I feel like a moron for not noticing that. What makes me pissed was that I saved for that reason to use for a back to back trivia question wiht this car and GM's own Pontiac/Chevy Canadian only products. It certainly IS a 1957 Dodge-Plymouth hybrid, and a quite handome devil IMHO. I must have been pretty delirious to have posted a "Swept-Wing" Dodge with a Savoy arse and not notice. 1957 Dodge 1957 Plymouth

O.B. I do not beleive it went down at all.... was it not glued in same as the small glass in the C-pillar of the 4drs was?

F*** that. Have mom buy a Roadmaster Estate. Stick w/ the B-bodys!!!

You guys have no doubt heard me talk about my friend "Duffy" he's the one who moved out to AZ almost 5 years ago. Hes one of my closest and best friends, we met in college 8 years ago. I ment him when I found out that he was doing a wicked awsome senior project. It was THE longest (280 pages) senior project in the history of the Business Department of our college. The topic? "A Business Case for a 5th Gen. F-Body from GM" So that's how me and Duffy met. After years of driving his 1991 Pontiac GTA, it was a steel roof hunter green TPi350/700R4 powered car with a tan interior, he sold it and now drives (as his only car) a 1961 Rambler American in pea-soup green. He bought it for a decent chunk of change with 17,000 miles on it and has been driving it to work 40 miles one way through the Arizona desert. Anyway, I miss Duffy, he was the one who originally got me into B-59s before I joined this forum and befriended Balthazar. So I have not seen Duffy since May of 2005. It was the weekend I bought the original and now when I called him up the other day to tell him my love-affair with my Datsun Girlfriend twins is over he says he'll be in MA/CT for his bro's graduation. So tomorrow I'm driving the '59 LeSabre on the exact same route that I took on the very first trip I ever took in my original Datsun Maxi-Pad. Sooooo... anyway I'm looking forward to hanging out with one of my best friends who also happens to have high-octane-gasoline flowing through this veins.

That link fu$#ed with my computer! It opened up a print-que window and would NOT let me close it out!!!
