Thanks Tony! Our other Boston BONER and the labradoodle Chewbacca have been in mourning for the last two days. They were making me feel guilty, but are starting to come around now. Time heals as they say... ill

Dear Bill and mid-60s Buick caregivers,

My new 2020 coupe showed up last night. Built just east of Memphis, its a black and white hardtop with a SBB and a 4 speed. Runs a little wam and no AC but a blast to drive. 

Congratulations! . . . 

. .. . . But aren't you a bit worried about all that newfangled electronics that comes with new cars? . . . . . 

Cheers, Edouard

Dear Bill and mid-60s Buick caregivers,

Just got an email from the guy that makes this stuff.
. . . .

Never mind that!    What's da' latest news on BADLASS and your new 2020 coupe?

Cheers, Edouard

The new coupe has a few nuisance leaks that we are attending to LOL. Nothing a paper towel wont remedy but not covered under warranty  BADLASS is alive and well and looking better all the time. Catalyzed finishes are weird. As the cure, they shrink. Overall a 2-3% shrinkage over the whole car makes them look "tighter" and less "juicy". I figured that out with my boat stuff.

I was trying to negotiate a trade for my 1978 HD dresser for a 1967 special wagon with a 300/auto from CA>! now in Illinois. The guy wants to downsize his toys so that was a no-go. Trades still open to a Buick wagon for Pat. Sportwagons are cool or even a big sled. Feel free to pass that along. I just cant ride anymore with the bad bones. Made 50 miles last year and about 5 so far this year.  This guy needs the 455 job and a dash hanger AC unit LOL...  Bill

At least its a deuce coupe thats leaking....my Semi weighs about 150 and leaves piles of black soot where I just mowed. Wife supposedly likes the truck more than me,but thinks about scrapping him some days. Now that the  blue is cured out,you could go finer on your wetsand like 1500 and use a foam pad.

Dear Bill, Dan, and mid-60s Buick caregivers,

Alas that is a known hazard of these brand new models . .. . 

BADLASS is alive and well and looking better all the time.  . . . .

Good to hear!

Glad you have an itch for a wagon, but while your at it, be a bit more choosy and stick to a 1964-65.  You get a lot more chrome to polish! . . .

Dear Bill and mid-60s Buick caregivers who use their cars for practical errands,

Yo Guys! Its been a bit for me here... had a busy summer. Getting close to Buick yome again, and have to choose between the 64 and the 72 for some seasonal work; the other goes into storage.
. . . .

. . . . . . So are you going to let us vote on which car stays out to play and which end up back in storage? . . . . . . . .

Cheers, Edouard

Am I reading this ad correctly?   The description says "mileage unknown" but the ad reports: "Driven 1,000,000 miles."

Unless this is another example of Facebook fake news, this car looks in really great shape for having been driven one million miles . . . . . 

Cheers, Edouard

Dear Bill and mid-60s Buick owners who dig a bit of trivia,

So how about a little trivia??   ws

Thanks for sharing!  I wasn't aware of the story, but it is the sort of thing that makes good sense starting during the war.  It is cute how the British phrase "dicey" ended up launching something so very different.

Cheers, Edouard
