I finally got around to taking a family picture of the Nailhead Gran Sports. Then I took each for a nice drive!

Dear Jim, Keith, and mid-60s Buick owners whose cars are part of the family,

I finally got around to taking a family picture of the Nailhead Gran Sports. Then I took each for a nice drive!


A very nice family portrait!    I'm sure each car appreciated getting out for some exercise!

Cheers, Edouard  :occasion14:

Good pic Jim,
It gets to be fun remembering which car needs the fresh gas ran through the tank. We got lucky here awhile back and they put in a recreation fuel pump. Now I put that in at the end of the year to avoid all these alcohol fuel issues that were causing grief after too much sitting in storage. When we had Bob shooting pics at an earlier Ohio meet he would have made you park the 65 in the center just for balance....lol

Dan, we might be put to the PSMCDR again this year in Stanton. If you travel north all the Holiday Stations have clear premium too, I put it in them!

Jim S

I have been having real good luck with our high octane recreational gas here in Minnesota.

It sure works a lot better for me than stabilizers.

Not sure this stuff is mixed the same in all states

Seasonal storage
65 GS
garden tractors
mowers
Back up generators
Boat motors 9.9 - 115 hp
Snow mobiles
4wheeler
Weed whips
Chain saws
Walk behind snow blower
Ice auger for fishing

Diesel farm tractor with 5’ snow blower and loader for 1/4 mi long driveway and others
New Diesel 3/4 ton Silverado I need to read the instructions on to digest

No wonder I always seemed to mess something up!!!

Jim

Great family picture

I'm sure the family cars also really appreciate their storage accommodations!!!!
