Hi there - we're a group of people really keen to learn about Buicks, keenest interest in 40's and early 50's. I figured this would be the best place to get educated, it would be nice to be able to have a conversation about the car with a bit more depth then 'gee I like to shape and colour of that one!'
If anyone feels like teaching us a thing or two it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Amy xoxo

Hi there,

I'm not much of an authroity, but I do know a bit more than just "Hey, what a pretty color" :D What kind of information are you looking to obtain? I do have resources to get answers to your questions, and would be most happy to tap into them for you. Of course there is a bounty of information to be had here from the guys/gals who participate on this forum.

Jim.

Thanks Jim - well to be honest I don't even know where to start really. I want to know why other people love them and what they think sets them apart from other classics. I will own one one day should I just buy a book...what book would be a good one? Do you buy the car and then learn about them or learn about them and then get one? Where do you start?

You can do it either way! Some people don't have a choice, buy a Buick, and fall in love then start buying books. Then as the age and have excess funds, they buy the car they have learned to love graemlins/shield.gif graemlins/thumbsup.gif

Hey SCDOLL,

I see that You are an New Member> Welcome Aboard! graemlins/thumbsup.gif

A good publication to start with is the Standard Catalog of Buick. It provides You with all sorts of information regarding all Years of Buicks from 1903 to 2000.

Amy xo Where are my manners? Yes, Welcome to the Forum! graemlins/wavey.gif

I personally, bought a Buick, then wound up buying another one, then another. I have yet to buy any books other than techincal manuals. :D

Thanks Guys, I guess considering my position I'll have to settle for the book first (being the ripe old age of 25 means I don't really know what excess funds are and living in London doesn't really lend itself to owning any car). Thanks for the name of the book Tom I guess that's where I'm going to start - would I order it from a book shop or do I have to go to a special shop?

Thanks again your knowledge in very appreciated.

Amy
