I learned to drive in my Dad's '52 Buick Super with Dynaflow. Before that he had a '46 Roadmaster. I still remember the sound of the straight eight engine in the '46. A distinct sound. And they were built like tanks.
Yes sir. I remember back when GM’s divisions were individually built, I could tell by the sound if it was a Chevy, Pontiac, Buick, Olds, or Cadillac. The “plastic pigs” of today have no style or class. The only thing better are the safety features.
@@doubledee9675 As a metalworker myself I fully understand how steel fights back when it is being formed, I would love to talk to the engineers how can those bonnets and guards be formed without creasing , the recipe for the steel would have to be perfect for the job .
@@bruceburns1672 Not a metalworker or engineer, but I do understand how difficult it is. The US engineers were well and truly ahead of their equivalents in Europe in sorting out these problems. Much as we now deride the tail fin era in car styling, the US was the only country where the necessary engineering could be done.
This is my Uncle Jerry's car! :) You should see under the hood, he has a black and white portrait of Marilyn Monroe. You can see the photos on his facebook page. Jerry Gray :)
It's not my car...my son and I stumbled on it in a parking lot. Absent breaking in and hot wiring it so we could hear the engine purr, what more would you and your "concept" have suggested? 🤔
Preciosa pintura y acabado¿Es necesario que la suspensión sea hidráulica? Creo que se desluce con este sistema pues no transmite el auténtico espíritu del creador de este modelo y el hermoso conjunto visual disminuye pues las llantas con cara blanca,no realzan la belleza innata en ellos(.) felicidades! Por favor! ¿Sería posible me enviaras foto del Chrysler Royal Mónaco 1976 Station Wagon? Mi padre tuvo uno ¿Hay algún evento que los rememore? Gracias
