So why the 1953 Buick? The early 1950 Buicks have facinated me since I was a young boy. My father had a body shop and took an immaculate 1953 Buick Super in on trade for next to nothing. What was wrong with it? It would not go in reverse. One day my father got underneath the car and discovered the reverse linkage on the transmission was unattached. It only needed a cotter pin! My father took it out on a ride to the grocery store with me and my grandfather who was visiting. I distinctly remember how well it rode and that deep resonant sound unique to those Buick straight eights! He had since sold the car but regrets letting it go. I have had the dream to restore an old Buick and enjoy that experience again, but it remains a dream.
