This is pirated from the Buick Club of America's monthly publication the Bugle.
Hot off the presses is the January 2024 issue.

Dear Loren, Jim, Chuck, and mid-60s Buick caregivers,

This is pirated from the Buick Club of America's monthly publication the Bugle.
Hot off the presses is the January 2024 issue.

Golly and I could have found this article for myself if I had only . . . . . opened the magazine and actually looked inside!

Now I have a real incentive to do so!

Thanks for the poke Loren!

My friends and I pass around our automobile magazines, and today I traded some Buick Bugles and ROA Reviews for some AACA and Hagerty publications. I was just flipping thru the March/April AACA publication and on page 73 I came across Chucks Verde Green Howitzer. The AACA Post War Buick Award with a paragraph describing the just over 6 year restoration.  Way to go Chuck...   :cheers2:
