Got a question or two and need the sage advice of this board - I blew the head gasket on my 1949 Buick Roadmaster by overheating it two years ago and there she sits. I am going to have the head...
I've loved Buicks since I saw my first 1949 Buick Roadmaster. I think I was seven. I road to the top of a hill on my bike and there she sat. Black and sleek with chrome words on her sides - ...
