Would you, could you, in the 'lark?”

In da' wild! (Re: '64-'66 Specials and Skylarks)

Dear Bob, Michael, Loren, and mid-60s Buick car spotters,

I recalled two photos I had of mid-60s Buick A-bodies "in da' wild."  One was being serviced at Orinda Classic Car:



I had hoped to get some photos of this car next to Biquette but the opportunity never materialized.

The other car was at the muffler shop that installed Biquette's exhaust:



Obviously in tougher shape body-wise but clearly still drivable. 

how do you guys manage to get pictures posted that don't need to be clicked?

There are two ways.  You can put the photos on a web server if you need to host some web pages.  I do this as part of a beta-testing project I'm on but it is technical.  Another way is to use an online photo hosting service that has a feature to post photos on forums.  I use SmugMug:

https://www.smugmug.com/

It is a paid service, but I take enough photos that it is worth it for me.  SmugMug recently acquired Flickr:

https://www.flickr.com/

They do offer a free service with similar capabilities.  You have to learn how to use it, but it does make managing photos online a lot easier.

Cheers, Edouard  :occasion14:

Nice photos! Is it weird that I live in 'Skylark Park' and one house from 'Skylark Lane?'

If any of the street signs, should fall on the ground from a wind storm or something, let me know, I would be happy to help relocate them from being a road hazard and keep them from hurting anyone by attaching them to my garage wall...

Dear Iain, Michael, and mid-60s Buick owners who want to keep their "community tidy," . . . .

Nice photos! Is it weird that I live in 'Skylark Park' and one house from 'Skylark Lane?'

. . . .!!!!

Cheers, Edouard  :occasion14:

P.S.  . . . So in what community will I find 'Special Park' and 'Special Lane' ? . . . .
