Cars, trucks and people

These old Buicks are my favorites. One of the few fond memories I have of my dad was he sold Buicks from 1953 until 1958 and he drove demonstrators all these years so I have first hand knowledge of seeing the speedometer hit 100+ MPH on every one of them and Dynaflow Transmissions.  I love your vehicles.

Charlie, your recollection reminded me, when I was a kid, of riding in my Uncle George's maroon Buick (late '40s or early '50s model) with my dad in the front passenger seat, and my brother Steven and I in the back seat with our Uncle Barney (yeah, the same guy that flies over my layout, dumping his empty beer bottles with every Immelman roll.)

We were on the rolling hills and valleys of the highway to Sauble Beach, and travelling at over 100mph.  Uncle George hollered to Uncle Barney..."Barney, are ya okay back there?  There's a rolla toilet paper in the back there, if ya need it!"  Steven and I couldn't control our laughter.

All five of my uncles (and aunts) are long gone.
