My small collection of Buick literature

Here is a picture of my literature I have acquired for my 74 Buick. I plan on making a nice display of it at car shows.



Also some updated pictures of my wagon since finally finishing the detail on it

 

Wouldn't you really rather have a Buick! Swanny, that 6 digit number on your Illinois tag(3x2). Is that convention still used in assigning numbers in that state? My grandparents had a similar setup on their tag back in the day.

 

Nice collection of junk for the Buick. I probably have some Illinois 1974 license tags yet.
I had collections of things for my 1977 Vette with the same color brochures for that year. A large collection of literature and junk for our 1933 Chevy and for our Model A Ford. Probably stuff for the 1926 Model T too.
Used to take it all to display at Illinois car shows.

Now it's all buried here and there. Have about 200' of various years and states license tags on a wire along our drive way now. Used to be on the side of our garage in Pekin visible from the dead end road at the edge of our lot.

 

That plate is from 1974. Here in IL we can put them on our cars and drive with them on but have to have the plates that are current in the car. I can't believe they allow us to do it but I have done it for the last 7 years and never been stopped.

 

Nice colection, and awesome looking wagon!

 

In Illinois i had vanity plates for all my cars. Still have the "R TOY 55" Illinois tag on the front of our 55 wagon down here in Florida. I have more trouble with the legal Florida 1955 tag on the back! Just got another ticket!

 

LOL!! Do u get them dropped?

 

The last car my grandma had in Ill was a huge gold 73 Coupe de Ville, she was 6xx 4xx(sorry bout x's, big fear of ID theft here), I still remember the number after all these years! Now can someone tell me where my keys are!?

 

Somewhere here in a few different posts I added my last saga about getting another ticket with the 55 Chevy wagon. By the way, I had just gotten major eye surgery and could not drive plus the Chevy hasn't been out of the garage 140 miles north of the alledged lite in 23 months.
The car in the camera lite photo is a white Ford County police car.
Not exactly the same looks as my wagon or the same tag even. But people in many offices don't know what a station wagon is. You'd think someone would look at the pictures.
Yes, I got out of it several times before but it isn't easy convincing retards that my license is different and the vehicles not the same. Does this look like a white Ford County police car with white plastic bumper and yellow county license tag with a star design on left?

 

Haha, yeah, I remember your post abt ticket problems.

 

I went back and added the photo to the other posts. For some reason it didn't add before. As you can tell, I'm p^#@d ! Sure, I can beat it but it takes forever and I have other things to do.
I'm afraid that eventually the state will cancel my 1955 tag. And I have had it for at least 18 years. Most likely before Orange County got a similar number. ---Sadly, similar, not the same!

And now back to our Buick info already in progress.

Cool collection, swanny. And I have always LOVED that wagon!
