Buick outside my gate!

This belongs to a daughter and partner of my closest neighbour. They are justifiably proud of them - I met them and they were in 1960's dress and even had a retro chillibin (curved corners and chrome handles)! Its a 1953 Buick Special!

Posting early as flying north early in the morning.

Three good things
1. I didn't have to go far for this photo
2. Made a decision - its Cruise..... helppp!
3. Now got to buy some cruise type clothing!

[Taffy]

Amazing! Were they the ones who restored it? What a terrific job - it's really vintage.

[Maggiemae]

@taffy No,they got it from California some years ago. They just love going out on picnics and rallies!

[Graeme Stevens]

Excellent, great looking car

[Maggiemae]

@graemestevens Left hand drive ... stereo installed - just imagine that 1950's music!

[Lesley Chisholm]

Very nice car, and a lovely photo of it. A cruise sounds fun too. Where does it go?

[Maggiemae]

@kiwichick Hong Kong to Vancouver, Lesley! Maybe............

[Elizabeth]

Great capture of this hot rod!

[Lesley Chisholm]

Oh wow, that'll be fun. And getting closer....

[Maggiemae]

@kiwichick Rail to Toronto from there..!

[Sylvia du Toit]

Fav, I do like old cars,

[gayelene]

Beautiful fav

[Pam Knowler]

Wonderful old car! I would love to drive round in this! Wow you are jet setters - off on your travels again! I don't like the idea of a cruise myself but I like the idea of where you are going! Wow then the train across Canada that sounds fabulous! I did the Rocky Mountaineer a few years,ago and the scenery was stunning! So many photo opportunities! Safe travels - enjoy!

[Maggiemae]

@pamknowler this is a small boat cruise - only 382 passengers, Pam! A different situation but might just have to keep up with the fashion!

[Dinah Pinkston]

What a wonderful paint-job; someone did excellent restoration work!

[Maggiemae]

@dsp2 they certainly can't pass through any town without being noticed but I think this is what they like!

[Christine Webb]

Fabulous paintwork.

[Barb]

Fabulous car. And your trip sounds wonderful.

[Julie F]

Fantastic capture here, the chrome shines beautifully.

Cool! Will you stop in Rossland? Or nearby?

[Sally Ings]

Beautifully restored. I can well imagine it attracts a lot of attention. Sounds like you have a splendid trip planned.

[Maggiemae]

@kiwichick It looks as if the nearest would be Kamloops on the train, Lesley.

[Maggiemae]

@grammyn Not going till April, Katy!

[katy]

@maggiemae so I was the first to wish you Bon voyage? (;

[Maggiemae]

@grammyn You can do this once a week, Katy and I will smile!

They won't build them like they use to . It's a beaut. So where you cruising to?

[Bill Fenske]

[Stephanie Swift]

That is certainly a colourful car. Have a good flight and be safe!

[Maggiemae]

@tristansmum Not going for a few months Stepanie - just had to make decisions!

[beluga]

True love 😀 I am lucky that I don't have to pay the bill at the fuel station ...

[Maggiemae]

@beluga The owners reckon this is their entertainment - a ride out in the car! Instead of going to expensive concerts!

[Nick]

Amazing looking car - looks like something out of a film.

[Maggiemae]

@nickspicsnz There are a lot of classic and vintage enthusiasts around here, Nick! Both car and motorbike!

[Dione Giorgio]

Beautiful shot. Classic and vintage cars are always very attractive. This is not an exception. Enjoy your trip.

[Lisa Pouncy]

Fantastic shot of an extraordinary car xx

[Disha Parekh]

What a stunning car and great photo of it! Hope your cruise is amazing and relaxing :) Cant wait to see photos from it when it happens

[Lee]

Great paint job.

[Gillian]

What a beauty! I wouldn't mind driving around in that but think of all the petrol/gasoline it would guzzle!

[bruni]

Certainly it's an eye catcher. the way those old cars were built you can feel pretty darn safe.

[Barb Newcomb]

Great vintage car and shot. Where are you cruising to?

[LaLa]

SOOOO like this.

[Irene]

Fabulous

[Ann H. LeFevre]

That is one great paint job! My- all the way from California! That must have been some shipping fee!
