1950 Buick Roadmaster Series 70 Near Ben White
This was the biggest Buick of the day, powered by a straight eight hampered by a two speed automatic that did not use the lower gear unless it was selected.

This handsome 1966 Buick Skylark had several available engines, the most powerful the “Wildcat 375”, a 340 ci engine making 260 hp and 365 lb·ft torque and a 4-barrel Carter carb.
364 cu. in. Nailhead V8, making 250 hp or 300 with four barrel carb. Could have a three speed auto or manual, or two speed auto.
Posing on S. Congress Ave. at last April’s Lonestar Round Up. Urged forward by a 263 cu. in. straight 8 Fireball engine though a two-speed Dynaflow automatic transmission which runs only one speed with torque converter unless
Stored for decades, now being readied for auction.
Powered by a 322 cu in Nailhead V8.
At Custom Car Crafters on McNeil Road, see link at right. Very busy custom car and body shop.
Absolutely one of my favorites at April’s Lonestar Round Up.
