    Thank you for sharing Joe. It was a great read, amazing work. I didn't realize that it under went so many coats of paint.
    No wonder the paint is so deep looking.

    Well, haven't been on here in a while..........congratulations Joe! Your hard thorough work certainly paid off, that was some stiff competition based on the fotos you showed.

    In the latest issue of Hemmings Classic, a guy wrote in that this car was the nicest vehicle he's seen in the 15 years of the magazine, and that Joe should have an "open house" for people to experience it or Joe should go "on tour" with it!

    Imagine that! Joe on tour with the Buick! Heck look at all the bucks KISS, the Stones, the Eagles, etc. made on their "farewell" tours - even Cher! We could get some T-shirts made up that show all the stops on the tour and charge like $30 for each...

    But, I was lucky to get a ride last month in Joe's spectacular ride, and the thing that struck me - heck it was like a brand-new 1958 car...it was just that nice.

    It should be displayed on the National Mall in D.C.

    True, but it could get damaged in the next insurrection.

    Thanks for all the nice comments, everyone.

    I recently drove it on the inaugural EyesOn Design Driving Tour.
    We drove about 100 miles on local roads in southeast Michigan.
    It was a great shakedown run and the car ran great!
    Here it is at the lunch stop, alongside my friend's 1957 Buick Special:

    I screenshot this from FB; I'm sure it definitely applied to the wagons:
