WILL WE MAKE IT? Road tripping a 54 Buick home from an AUCTION!

Andrew bought this 1954 Buick at an auction a few months back and we finally got around to it! We decided to try to drive it home instead of trailer it. This is the first look and initial thoughts on the new addition to the fleet. Although the car does run, it hasn't left the property in over 20 years!

A totally beautiful car, just like it sits!! It barely even needs a bath! And it's got an FM converter... So straight , sweet interior, that grille is awesome! Some carpet and I'd drive it every day.

[@BestDamnShopAround]

My thoughts exactly! Hopefully after some maintenance and inspection it can be daily driven!

Good find! Love those 50s era cars. Built like tanks!!

[@BestDamnShopAround]

Thank you! We love them too!

[@samdavis3813]

Thank you! It's going to be even better once Andrew puts his touch on it!

[@christianlutes5593]

Glad to have found your video and channel. I’ve been driving a 54 Buick for 27 years.

[@BestDamnShopAround]

That's so cool! Thank you for following along! Between Andrew and I we have a 53 two-door post, 54 4 door, 54 wagon, and a 60 4door flat top. Still on the hunt for a 59 and a 58!

[@christianlutes5593]

Will keep an eye out for you. I forgot to tell you that I have a 60 Invicta convertible as well. Am enjoying your videos my Buick Cousin.

[@BestDamnShopAround]

@@christianlutes5593 convertibles are out of my tax bracket but soooo cool!

[@davidgrant3940]

Nice patina but the interior looks amazing!!

[@BestDamnShopAround]

Truly impressive for it's age!

[@FORDCAMPERSPECIAL]

I like the contrast of the nice green roof and the heavily patina'd white paint.

[@BestDamnShopAround]

That's what I was thinking! Thank you!

[@roadrunner600]

Kool ride, don't find those everyday.

[@BestDamnShopAround]

Not often! Thank you!

[@williamssr96]

Paint it a little more white, keep Patina, though

[@BestDamnShopAround]

👍

[@269boxer]

What a shame a Beautiful old Car deserves a beautiful paint job.

[@BestDamnShopAround]

Beautiful paint jobs are expensive! We can enjoy it like this till we save the money up!

[@thomasthurston6656]

​@BestDamnShopAround Yes they are probably 30k here in CA to paint that Buick.

[@BestDamnShopAround]

@@thomasthurston6656 one day maybe! For now we cruise 😎

[@thomasthurston6656]

@BestDamnShopAround Lol I am a Buick guy. I have a 67 Special Deluxe bought new by my great grandparents.

[@thomasthurston6656]

@BestDamnShopAround I would leave it alone and go with the stock colors. You could always join the BCA. It's a good place for restoration parts and information. We did use to have large Buick shows in Socal.

[@thomasthurston6656]

Lol 5 dollars a gallon for gas. Your not in CALIFORNIA last summer it was 7 dollars a gallon.

[@BestDamnShopAround]

Jeez! I feel bad for y'all!

[@thomasthurston6656]

@BestDamnShopAround Lol not great when you get 14 mpg on the freeways. They added gas tax again to fix roads. Lmao I would like to know what roads and freeways they are fixing.
