I was in Apalachicola one day when a Buick Car Club rolled into town. Except for the other car in the background, this looks like it came from the car's era.

    What a sweet ride that is! Torpedo front bumper treatment, eyebrow headlights, rear and side fins and full chrome trim in spades. And you can't have all that without curb feelers too. That's just a feel-good car.

    Of all the grand " chrome wagons " in the '58 - '60 era, Buick probably claimed the king's crown. Pontiac and Oldsmobile were no slouches in the chrome wars, but Buick was tops in using the shiny stuff.

    There were many cars in this particular club that day. You can see a reflection in the original post of another wide-white-wall tire. That reflection belongs to this awesome car:

    But my favorite that day was the cream colored convertible.
