A true story , this classic is the reason i ended up living in Sacramento for 10 years.
Purchased it in October 1987,a wreak sitting in a paddock for 11 years.
Yes a 1953 Buick Skylark 76x Convertible number 546,anniversary model first V8
etc, etc, shipped it back to NZ, 2 year restoration, then shipped it back to Sacramento
was 2nd in class at Buick Club of America, National.1991.
Friends thought i was mad, paying 5 figure for this really rough car.
An amazing thing the car had never run for 11 years, had no air cleaner, carby was fill of leaves, i fitted a new battery, vacuumed the carby, ran a can of new gas directly to the
carb, and that car fired and started , the seller could not believe it .
i Sold it 1995,it went back east.
One car i should never have sold.
