Okay, I do stupid things too sometimes. Like this afternoon, when I got home from work, I logged onto Ebay and bought a 1961 Buick LeSabre. Okay, not so bad you think, but the worst part is the fact that is located over 800 miles away in Minnesota and I have no truck or trailer to pull it home. Told you I do stupid things. Okay, so my brother-in-law Jim says he has a trailer, and is willing to help me load it, etc. That minor problem is half-solved.
So why do I want an old Buick? It's complicated, but let's just say it's something I have wanted for a long, long time and now I have it... Sort of. My sister Judy learned to drive in the families' '61 Buick, it was the first car I remember going with my dad to shop for and how disappointed I was when he turned down the red convertible. A lot of fond memories are associated with this car and that is the main reason I wanted it.
BTW, the very next car dad bought was a red '63 Buick convertible. Good times...
Check out my new Buick!
