Newbie here just saying Hello. My name is Matt Green. I am 35 y/o and from Saint Louis. As of yesterday i purchased a 1952 Buick Roadmaster Riviera. I haven't even purcicked up the car as of yet. The car needs a ton of work. However even in these tough times i couldn't pass up the price.

I have a ton of questions about these 50'-52' Buicks. I am looking for anyone who can help me with these questions regarding parts, technical assistance and more online resources. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Any pics of the 51' that you are driving/restoring? If so feel free to email them to rapidride2@sbcglobal.net Thanks, Matt.

I'm working on a '53 Special...the '52 and '53 models were very similar, except for headlights and hood operation. Other than that, virtually the same. I have a shop manual for '52, so if you need any help on anything technical, let me know.

Well i got her home today. She is rough and been sitting outside in a farmers field for several, several years. Floors are gone. Body is suprisingly straight and stainless was better than expected. It doesn't run as of right now. I purchased it from a gentleman who's father passed away.

I am open to all assistance and anyone who can direct me in the right direction as far as an eventual "restomod" type or restoration.

Thanks, Matt.
