Never saw the second show, but I always watched The Andy Griffith Show. And of course I appreciate the 55 Buick. You might find this hard to believe, but I kinda have a thing for old Buicks.

 

Here's one I'm pretty sure you've never seen Ben, yeah it's a tad rough, might do with a wax and detail......



What you have here is a 1948 Roadmaster Deluxe "Combination Professional Car" whipped up by the Flxible Bus & Coach Company.

A "Combination" car was set up as both an ambulance or hearse depending on the circumstances.

 

That's one Big Buick! Don't think I would look forward to riding in it for either of it's intended uses though... LOL

 

Another cool Buick Ben, this time a base model 1948. It's a Series 40 Special Sedanete, I love the factory two-tone paint job, it really "Pops".





And dig that wiper, a cast metal, chrome plated, piece of late Art-Deco industrial design....so cool!

 

looks like it lives on the correct coast...

 

And it looks like that thick post-war GM steel has kept the "Rust Bunnies" at bay, even in the soggy Oregon climate.

They just don't build 'em like they used too, eh Sam?

 

That's a spectacular old Buick! And no they don't build em like that anymore! I actually have that hood ornament at home and have toyed around with the idea of using it on my ride. Some days I like it, but other days it seems like too much.

What do you guys think... Should I use the bomb site hood ornament?

 

My vote is for the "Bomb Sight" ornament Ben, I think it fits your design, and it's cool as heck too.

 

Thanks for your vote Mike... I think I should be more worried about getting the body work done to a point that I can shoot it. Winter is rapidly approaching and this is my daily driver. I am considering trying plasti-dip to get me through the winter. I don't think getting the body work perfected is even remotely possible with the short Window I have left. Then I could peel it off and finish her up in the spring. What do you guys think? Do any of you have any experience with this stuff? Will it hold up to snow and salt and protect my ride?

 

I think it will work, but then what do I know, ask double O.....or Lunchbox..
