Post and yes it’s only a 3 holer Rivera. (Shorter wheel base) But it is solid and complete with a new black genuine nauga hide interior. Not a restoration but driver quality. It’s a good 20 footer. Duke is proud of what he’s done and he got it for a damned good price. Easy moneymaker if he decides he doesn’t like it or want it anymore and sells it.

The Buick Special was known as the "Doctor's Cadillac". Doctors could afford a Cadillac but (back in the day) when they made house calls, patients would decline the visit when the doc pulled up in a Caddy. They reacted to thinking the doctor was going to be too expensive. So many doctors bought Buicks because they were nice, were designed by the same guy that designed Caddys (Harley Earl), and did not intimidate the customer.

The giant bumper torpedoes do it for me. Thank you Mr. Earl!

Good looking car Denny. Was going to have you stop by for a tour and pick up some steel cut-offs for projects but you made the trip before I could make the suggestion. You can give the dog a treat, he has a good eye for beauty.

The dog is getting ready to go down to Oak Ridge Tennessee to get the 2 401 nail head Buick engines and automatic transmissions he bought for it. One engine will be rebuilt with dual quads added and put in the Buick but I’m keeping it manual transmission for now.

A good friend of mine has family in Maryville. I got to spend some time down there. Drove an old lifted dodge truck down Tail of the dragon with a broke steering box. (frame broke). That was scary!

Im not sure exactly where it came from but we got cases of shine. It might have been from copperhead road. Either way that was the best I've ever had.
