    It was also well known that the Buick Grand National (X) or GNX with a little tuning was the fastest thing coming out of the Detroit factories in the '80s.
    That's it, that's all i've got.

    Well, the dwindling supply of aftermarket body panels for older cars may be dropping to zero. For those hankerin' to restore an old Chevrolet, Buick, Oldsmobile, or Pontiac, parts just got harder to find. I wonder if this is due to sourcing issues in Asia? With that said, the value of my GS 455 convertible project just went up if I'm willing to sell it in pieces.

    Wow. That's a land ship.
    Some people really like the land barges. Many of the 50s cars look even bigger. What I don't know for certain is how the stack up next to today's Suburban?

    Want a land yacht? The old Pierce Arrow was longer - and taller - than a Suburban.

    At 19 feet, the Pierce-Arrow is two feet longer than a Dodge Grand Caravan or Lincoln Navigator. It dwarfs most cars. "You're taller than any SUV, which must annoy the hell out of them," Waddell said.

    My dad went to Michigan. Younee played The Victors on the pipe organ at his service.

    I wish all involved would reach a truce. I know everyone has noble purposes and all, but neither thread is as organic as they were before the great arms posting race. Post padding just to pad on either thread really detracts from both to me.

    No disrespect to Ymo, fuse, dd, or others. It's all just very tiresome IMHO. But perhaps I'm the only one that feels that way.

    (Anyway -- y'all can come stand on my lawn if you want but please keep your so-called "music" down after 11 pm).

    Thank you for posting this. I had not seen it before. It's fantastic!

    So I take it no one really wants to know that I'm cooking shrimp oyster and crab gumbo for dinner.
    I've been kidding myself?
    Which I'm also pretty good at doing that's true...
    Nothing incites bodily violence quicker than a Duke fan turning in your direction and saying 'scoreboard.'

    It depends. Are you inviting us to join you for dinner?

    Both threads are good IMO.

    The great thing about DBR is that it is poster-driven, not article-driven like most sports chats. So there is something for everyone. There are plenty of threads that simply have no interest for me ("let's guess how many minutes everyone will play" tops my chart) so I just ignore those even though others find it wildly entertaining. To each their own.

    That's my two cents, for what little it is worth.

    Oh, and GO TO HELL CAROLINA, GO TO HELL!

    Dammit.

    Might be able to next week. If anything, maybe we can meet up for a beer before the game on Monday? Then again, you may not want to drink beforehand since you get free beer at the game. You lucky son of a gun.

    Yes, they are quite large. But also for a very well to do person. The ‘50s and ‘60s brought big cars to the masses.

    I attended the 2012 Ault Park Concours d’Elegance with one of my cars. I have a feeling the Duesenbergs were the most massive cars there.

    Blind squirrel, acorn, that sort of thing. Glad you enjoyed it. I won’t mention how many of the 672 views are me...
