      I seem to remember that you got the Buick Roadmaster because the transmission was faulty despite having been rebuilt for the previous owner. What's the story?

  • @jimhickey2276
    @jimhickey2276 3 месяца назад +23

    I gave 250 bucks for a 49 Roadmaster with a rebuilt engine and trans and rust free body because the man wanted it gone from in front of his house. His son was partying in it every afternoon with his friends. It wouldn't run, had a cracked distributor cap. I put a new cap on it and drove it home twenty plus miles. This was back in 1996. Hearing that Buick was music to my ears.

      I used to steal the old man's 49 and pick up the guys and get beers...I'm positive that Roadmaster would do 100 easy
      but that's the last thing you wanna do with a tank like that. It was 1/4 turn before the wheels steered
      I had to look THRU that giant steering wheel

    Comment for the algorithm here. I am old enough to have sat in the back of a 1952 Buick and seen Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (separate years, of course) circa 1965 in a drive-in theater as a circa seven-year-old, drinking a ten ounce bottle of Mountain Dew, while my parents split a six-pack of Budweiser. I remember still being thirsty after the Mountain Dew and told my parents so, and they basically told me tough isht. I countered with, well, you both had three beers each, and I only had one small bottle. Mother's response: Shut up! Oh! And this just came back to me! The East Coast US Summer sun can make the interior of a car pretty hot. Somewhere within the range of being 7 years old I remember purposely getting into our beastly hot 1952 Buick on the hottest Summer Days with the car in direct sun and windows rolled up and seeing how long I could take the heat, baking myself in that car and coming out a sweaty mess. I remember how cool the summer sun felt in contrast after getting out of that car. I guess I am lucky to be here today😂 Thats my Buick Story.

She'd be a thirst old girl, but I'd love to be behind the wheel of that on the open road as I bet it would ride as good as it looks. The little 403 reminds me of 1950s British cars to look at and I have a lot of love for it too. Two wonderful vehicles that are probably way down on the list to put back on the road, but still wonderful to see still moving under their own power - even if it is briefly once every couple of years! All the best
