Hi there, longtime GM owner first time Buick owner. Picked up a 53 Buick special in pretty good shape. I have lots of questions and hope to find answers here. It's a straight 8 with a 3-speed... I'll be posting pictures here and there on its progress. It's definitely one of the more sexy cars I've ever owned. Look so good just sitting in the driveway. He's going to look even better flying down the interstate. Anywho, thanks for the add and thank you to anybody who can help me with any of my questions.

Welcome. If you turn your own wrenches, the 1952 shop manual is on-line here on the forum. Very, very little difference between 1952 and 1953.

Thanks! And I will be working on it myself. I have lots of questions but I posted them over in the straight eight forum. No takers yet. LOL. I did look into the 52 manual and it did explain a lot of stuff for me but there's also some stuff that it didn't so hopefully someone will come along and set me straight. Thanks for the welcome.
