My Classic Car

Did anyone catch the episode that had the 65 Buick Skylark two door hardtop with the Sport Wagon top grafted on to it. It made a really cool two door hardtop wagon. I would love to do the same with a 67 Cutlass. The body work was perfect. It looked like a factory experimental car.

Saw that episode over the weekend, kinda looks like the top from a Vista Cruiser on that build.

The Buick Sport Wagon and the Vista Cruiser share the same body roof lines.

Looks really good, did it right.
Did they say it was a 2 door hardtop with a Vista or Sportie roof and not wagon with hardtop doors and the B pillars removed or the whole rear section grafted on to a 2 door?
On V8 Buick a guy said it has a 3800 series engine too.

More importantly, how has Dennis been able to keep his mustache so curly for so long?

I would say lots of booze and drugs.


That thing is ridiculous but you have to have a gimmick in TV to stand out from the crowd I guess. He did that motorcycle touring show with his son and friend and he's not quite as friendly on that, he can be a real plick... as Col would say.

I can take Dennis though, the Stacy David fake-laughing-while-talking scripted line delivery on that Gearz show drives me nuts.
