Finally some progress to report. The exhaust is on, the factory AM/FM radio is in, and the wheels and tires are on.

Dear Jim and mid-60s Buick owners who are always in favor of progress!

Finally some progress to report. The exhaust is on, the factory AM/FM radio is in, and the wheels and tires are on.

Great to see!

Here's the radio.

That's wonderful too, . . . . but

. . . . Does it support Bluetooth? . . . .

Cheers, Edouard

Thanks for sharing da' pics! Jim!

As Dan points out, definitely a solid start for a restoration!

Thanks guys, I must say it really idles, runs, and drives nice - better than expected. Also some of the chrome and other bits are just in really great condition.

Still dealing with the insurance company on the car. The lady who backed into it now claims she did not do it. Anyway, I did get a rechromed grille so far and am looking forward to spring to get the car out and start working on it.

That looks like a really nice grill, Jim.  I had a 65 grill rechromed and wasn't that happy with it.

Congrats!

Very nice Jim. 
Is this car the recipient of the air conditioning parts the traveled half way across the country?
Always nice to to have a project waiting in the wings just in case you run out of things to do.
