I could be wrong, but I swear my father had that model car. He was a collector. In any event, yes. a VERY cool car.

I have a yen for older "bulge-mobiles", as I call them. The enormous finned wonders for the late 50s & early 60s are cool, cooler if they look like the rocket ships that they were designed to imitate. I know some people find them as grotesque reminders of American-ism and imperialism or some "ism", but beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

What kind of cars did he collect or were there just many in the back? Did he specialize?

Don't Quote me, but when I was in college, this was our fantasy poster. I actually think Dulfer is a good sax player, apart from her sexuality.... but I'm a neophite with Sax Prowess.

I'm a neophite with Sax Prowess - There is always a first time.

He really didn't specialize. I remember a Nash, a Packard, his pride and joy a Pierce Arrow, and a few older Fords and Chevy models. He'd scour the classifieds and if he saw value, we'd "go for a ride" and take a look. I remember him buying a 57 Chevy when I was with him as a little kid. He just loved cars from that era. He said Detroit ruined the style in the 60s and 70s, with a few exceptions. He loved the 1970 Dodge Charger, for example.

Stopped into a Red Lobster for dinner between meetings, gents.
Listening to WUCF.org via my iPhone SE

Life is ... at the moment ... very good.

Theres nothing like a good dinner, and jazz to make work bearable!

The 56 and 57 Chevys I had could have lasted longer, if they had done any galvanizing of the bodies. Liked the hidden gas caps. And trying to figure out where they were on someone elses car. Buicks and Olds were beasts in the 50's.

I remember my father having a Buick from the 50s. Can't remember the model, but it was definitely a Buick. It was Coral and White. That color scheme would not fly today, but back then, I'm sure it was "Boss". Looked like this (from memory);

Agreed. The Shrimp infused mashed potatoes were amazing. I would have been happy just having a plate of that. WUCF has been nerve soothing.

Dude, a Pierce Arrow!!!!! Jaw Drop and hits floor. It is official, Batts, I'm jelly....please tell me it was a convertible, so the jealousy can burn hotter....

You are right, no a car today we'd all be chucking. But on those Buicks, the look is unashamedly 50s.

Those early to mid fifties Buicks had some grills!

Well, I hate to burst that high bubble, but no. It was a silver arrow. He loved it. I remember the spare tire was behind the front wheel well.

I barely remember this car, but I do remember the spare tire well vividly;

As a kid, that grill kind of scared me. I thought it looked mean. Those automobiles must have weighed a ton compared to the plastic models today. My father always made a distinction between an "AUTOMOBILE" and a "Car". A classic like a Pierce Arrow, to HIM, was an Automobile. A 1985 Chevy Nova was a Car.

You are forgiven for it not being a convertible, I'd take that over the ragtop. That is style.
