My New 53' Buick Special!!! Pics Inside!

great.............another car on my list that someone one else got.
enjoy it man! i'd leave it the way it is and drive the snot out of it!

 

Why dose some ass have to make that comment about the trim on the Buicks. Merc trim my ass in my opinion a 53 Buick Hardtop is twice as cool as any Merc. Its as bad as the comment about the sterring wheels of our ausie brother cars being on the wrong side. Personaly I like visors on that body style kind of gives it a chopped look.

 

I'm with Yorgatron.... lose the dice, bolt the visor back on and drive it! That's a very tasty car.

 

Hey JERK! When the fuck are you gonna come over and help me block sand my car? Haha!

I like your new old car. Do you still have that truck you chopped?

Later,
Nick

 

Love the car!!
I picked up my '53 2 months ago now and started work on it.
I have a visor coming from your side of the pond and some fender skirts, gonna fit bags and I intend to drive the socks off of it!
well done on buying a cracking condition car.

Hey man! What's up? Sorry I havent been in touch. Been working too damn much, thats part of the reason I bought a driver. I just dont have the time needed to get my truck on the road as soon as I want to. Anyway, we'll have to get together soon and thrash on something!

 

I understand. Sounds like a plan, let me know when and where!

Nick

 

I dig it. Looks pretty sweet.

 

Love it.

congratulations, nice score on a beautifull car.

 

Nice, friggin' car, congrats.

 

Actually, Merge's car is a two door sedan. It's got the post. Not trying to start anything....I just have to be THAT guy sometimes ... I agree that too many Mercs use that side trim...and I'm building a Merc! It's NOT getting Buick side trim...in fact, it's not getting any side trim at all! The Buick trim always looked right were it was born...on the side of a Buick! And if you'll see my previous post in this thread, you'll come to realize that I've lusted after a certain '52 Buick for quite some time now...

 

I love it...my '53 Hardtop is one of my dream cars! I'd post a picture but my internet is REALLY slow on uploading. Enjoy it the way it is!

 

Here it is!

 

A 53 Buick, the year I was born, what a find good luck with it.

 

It's perfect as it sits.

mmmmmmm.....

mommy likee.

Very nice Buicks guys. Mine's a little bit in process at the moment...

before...



So far....

 

Wow. Thats a nice clean ride. I'd put the visor back on & drive it. Nice color too, I'd be hesitant to 2 tone it but do whatever you like. Good luck with it.

Nice wheels.

To steal a line from a former student...

"I'd check the "earl", kick the "tars", and drive the wheels off that thang. "

Congrats...

 

Just drop it a bit maybe add some different caps, dual glass packs, ect. but over all its a sweet car!

 

Jai...looks pretty rust free, at least for a guy from the Rust Belt! Good luck!

 

It is, for the most part. But the mammogram did reveal a couple of tiny lumps...




Poor miss Helen Wheels will have to undergo kemo. I'm confident that she'll pull through just fine though.

 

Being from Michigan, that's a benign tumor man... I was lucky to find a Southern car too!

 

They're a nice car,they have nice lines, nice interior do-dads(Pushbutton Radio and Crank vent windows baby!!!), and just general good quality. heres mine, and a photoshop version(both are actually a little photoshoped, but you get the idea); coming to a town near you summer 2006.

 

Put those portholes back thats like neutering a Buick. Two lanes wide with holes on the side.

 

Yeah, the portholes might stay, but I'm selling the "merc" side trim to find the project.

 

Yoours actualy still had its trim. I cant argue on that it would fund quite a bit of the build.

 

Very nice and a super find. Now don't ruin it by taking it all apart. Just freshen up a few things and drive the wheels off it.

What a great find,enjoy the ride!!!!
