Maiden Voyage

Hey guys this is my Buick shortly after getting her home. Note the custom fuel tank being drained by a handy electric pump under the hood to the carb. I wish I could tell you that the smoke is burning rubber roiling off the tires...but it's just burning oil! Gimme a break, this is her first trip down the street since 1975. Rock on you stubborn nailhead!!

Great patina. Got a paint scheme in mind?

Congratulations! Don't panic about the smoke. Give it some time. My flatty started out as a moskito smoke machine after a long sleep, but it settled down and has been fine. I really dig the 55-56 Buicks and Olds.

Those front mounted tanks are all the rage with the gasser crowd! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Hehe, reminds me of the first time I drove my 60 Buick. Definately fun, and I won't ever forget the trip to the gas station.

Park a late model for 29 years and see if it starts. I love my late model, but I wouldn't trust it to start after 29 years with minor work.

Thats awesome.
