| Comments: |
The first Buick I owned was a
1941 model 61, purchased in January of 1950. This car saw much action in street racing,
etc. It saw me meet Katie (my wife), marry and start a family. Many years later (1982)
when I wanted to get into the car hobby, I looked for and found a 1941 model 61 locally.
That is the car we own today. It has carried us to California for the BCA National in 1985
and a First in Class. It has since had a total body-off restoration and now travels in a
trailer, but is still a great cruiser. In July '02, it carried us to our 50th wedding
anniversary celebration, just as its predecessor carried us to our wedding in 1952. |
