Title: Highlights from the 2017 Orinda Classic Car show
Post by: elagache on September 09, 2017, 04:36:17 PM
Dear mid-60s Buick owners with a taste for all kinds 4 wheeled locomotion,

My trusty wagon was alas unable to participate in the 2017 Orinda Classic Car show.  However, I went over and took in the sights.  I uploaded all my photos to an online photo gallery that you can find here:

Like most general interest shows, there aren't many Buicks.  However, there was a 1954 Buick convertible:

In addition, there was a 1965 Buick Rivera:
