Maiden Voyage of the Verde Howitzer
« Reply #435 on: July 01, 2021, 09:51:15 PM »
The day has finally come that the Verde Howitzer is loaded in the trailer and will be off tomorrow to Auburn, Indiana to show at the AACA National Meet.  This is also a special "Buick Celebration" event sponsored by the Buick Heritage Alliance, so I expect to see lots of Buicks there.  Thanks for all the info, guidance, encouragement and friendship over the last 6 1/2 years.  I couldn't have gotten here without you all!

Chuck, there was never a 65 Skylark GS that left the factory or the dealer's lot that was assembled with the precision and beauty of your restoration. What an amazing car.

Safe travels to Auburn. That will be the star of the AACA National Meet, no doubt!

WOW ! You have finally made it.
 It has been a pleasure to have been part of this restoration. Good luck in Auburn, although I really don't think you will need it. Verde Howitzer is a thing of beauty and a labor of love.
