Car of the Week: 1912 Buick Model 43
Patrick Hopkins had been around his grandfather’s spectacular 1912 Buick his entire life. The car was, as the cliché goes, just another member of the family. He had even been warned that the car would be his when his grandfather finally decided he had owned it long enough.
Still, when the day came for the car to officially become his, Hopkins had a hard time processing it all. “I just kept running myself repeatedly into the wall,” he recalls. “It was just such a shock to end up with this car. Even when he told me it was mine, I still didn’t believe it."
BUICK SPECIAL SURVIVOR CAR IS A REAL BARN FIND
A few weeks ago I was called upon to do an appraisal on a 1951 Buick Special Riviera hardtop. The car was located just a few miles from my new shop Gunner’s Great Garage in Manawa, Wis. I was told … More
Car of the Week: 1959 Buick LeSabre Convertible
When Jim DiGregorio gushes about how much he digs his sparkling, and rare, 1959 Buick LeSabre convertible, you know the car must be special. It has some big tracks to follow in DiGregorio’s garage, but a totally original 1959 ragtop with just 32,000 miles and über-rare, three-on-the-tree is certainly something to get worked up about, no matter what else you’ve owned previously.

Car of the Week: 1955 Buick Roadmaster
If Gerry Cheshire’s stunning red-and-white 1955 Buick Roadmaster hardtop isn’t the quintessential 1950s cruiser, it’s at least in the conversation. More
Car of the Week: 1953 Buick Skylark convertible
If they handed out a “Lifetime Achievement Award” for loyal attendees of the Iola Old Car Show in Iola, Wis,, Glenn Barnett would be high on the short list of deserving candidates. And his stellar, and rare, 1953 Buick Skylark convertible would certainly be on the list of biggest crowd favorites at the show.
Car of the Week: 1909 Buick
It’s only been several years since Bill Brunkow died, and Ken Ganz, one of Brunkow’s car buddies and best friends, still thinks about him pretty much every day. And not only did Brunkow leave his friend with a lot of great memories, he also left him a lovely 1909 Buick.
Car of the Week: 1967 Buick Gran Sport 400
Rick Rubis and his sweet 1967 Buick Gran Sport finally wound up together about 18 years ago after several near-misses. Three times Rubis tried to land himself a ’67 GS 400, and twice he missed out on chances to own the car he has now. But the two finally wound up together, and it’s been a happy marriage. More
