I remember this thing sitting out under the trees for decades because the motor blown and we couldn't afford to fix it. Now my brother is restoring it and wants to show it. I think its pretty sweet!

Absolutely beautiful. Made back in the day when the only thing that mattered was style. Great lines and I love the over-the-top chrome grill!

What's with dad's & Buicks? I had to drive the old dynaflow's & nail valves as a teen-ager. Hand me downs from my brother off to college. Dad had to buy LeSabres and Electras....couldn't buy a Riviera convertible w/dual-quad 425. Nope.

:thumbsup: Beautiful car Dean! I assume it's a straight 8? Enjoy the restoration and the memories it brings back. :cheers:
