LalaWoots Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Yes, when I shift into park, the car is lowered. In any other gear, the car is raised to ride height. Here are more pics as requested, thanks! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 That looks spectacular. What were you doing when the photos were taken, picking up a load of seed corn? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks just like when they shot my buddies car that ended up being cover shots on 3 separate magazine. You wanna talk about pain in the butt, they shot my buddies car for at least 6 hours, NOT fun!

Rog TwistedCrankCammer, Yes, I purchased it from the builder. If you know Telly then that was the car he built and sold to me. I have a few of my own pictures that were taken by my iPhone 5 and they came out stunning; a testament to how photogenic the car truly was. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 This is Woodward Dream Cruise week. Sitting on my deck, less than a mile from Woodward Ave., I feel like I'm in the staging lanes at a drag strip. http://www.autoweek.com/article/woodward-dream-cruise/heres-what-expect-woodward-dream-cruise-next-week For me, the novelty has worn off after more than 2 decades. You can't throw a dead cat without hitting a very nice tri-5 Chevy, Mopar, Ford, GTO, 442, etc. Every gearhead should make this pilgrimage at least once. You would not be disappointed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceptorman Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Neil....looks like a nice car show. I like how the show cars and on the street are mixed in with the regular cars. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two lanes closest to the curb are technically reserved for "classic" cars, so that people who line Woodward for 10 miles in lawn chairs can be closer to the action. On a hot day there are a lot of overheated muscle cars. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop on by if you are in the neighborhood! Rog 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davis Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Back to the bricks in Flint Mi is an excellent alternative to Woodward. It runs for 5 days (Aug 15-19) during the same time as Woodward. All of us Buick people get treated extra special in our home town of Flint as well. But I do agree with DizRotus that everyone should go at least once to Woodward. Twistedcrsankcammer it would be awesome to see all the cammers in one spot. Unfortunately I will be chasing the solar eclipse this year and will miss the events. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Dad was always a Buick man, still has a LeSabre that retired people are required to drive! I do remember a 1969 Riviera he had, it was a purple/plum color. It was a distinctive car. He normally had to get the big family style cars because he had 7 children. I wish I had that car today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davis Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I do really like 1960's Rivieras, the 1st and 2nd gen. I also like how many people think 1963-1978 Rivieras are front wheel drive because the Tornado and late 60's Eldorado was. Who remembers Buick had a traction control system named Max Track in 1971?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceptorman Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I've never heard of Max Track.....I was 8 years old at that time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davis Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 In 1973-1976 GM had the ACRS, air cushion restraint system. It was a air bag option located in the steering wheel. It was discontinued due to lack of interest by the buying public. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceptorman Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I heard a news story a few years ago about a young couple that was save by an airbag device that was in their late 70s Oldsmobile. Nobody even knew it was in there. Probably what you just mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
