Newsletter of the Hawkeye DYNAFLASH NEWSLETTER NEWSLETTER OF OF THE IOWATHE HAWKEYE HAWKEYE CHAPTER BCA CHAPTER Page 1 BUICK CLUB OF AMERICA Issue 2, 2013 MARCH - APRIL 2013 DIRECTOR'S REPORT It was rainy and dreary as we arrived at the Iowa 80 Truck Stop in Walcott for the March Hawkeye Chapter meeting. After a time of socializing, we got down to the business of completing a calendar of events for the chapter. After discussion, we settled on the second Saturday of each month as our meeting date. Using a criterion that our events should move around the state, we selected locations that accomplished that goal. A schedule for the rest of the year was pretty much completed and it was e-mailed to the membership and is included in this newsletter. We turned our attention to lunch at the Truck Stop Buffet and then continued our discussion and visiting. After eating, we went to the Iowa 80 Trucking Museum, which is adjacent to the truck stop. On display were 30 some antique trucks representing a variety of uses, antique gas pumps and antique fuel and oil signs. It was both an interesting and informative tour. Our next chapter event is April 13 when we go to Council Bluffs and members of the Nebraska Crossroads Chapter BCA will join us for lunch and a tour of the Union Pacific RR museum and the nearby historic Squirrel Cage Jail. We will gather at 11:00 am at the Quaker Steak & Lube Restaurant at 3320 Mid America Drive in Council Bluffs. A meeting room has been reserved for us and following introductions and a time of socializing we will eat and then go to the RR museum and jail. Let's turn out and meet some new Buick friends and enjoy a great outing. See you all on April 13, 2013. Harold PS: the Quaker Steak & Lube is a family friendly eating place with a comprehensive menu and an array of automobilia on display including a complete '57 Chevy suspended from the ceiling. Take exit 52 off I-29. Go east on Nebraska Ave. Go south on 35th St. to 23rd Ave. and South 33rd St. You are in the general area of the restaurant. DYNAFLASH NEWSLETTER OF THE IOWA HAWKEYE CHAPTER BCA Page 2 STATISTICS ON THE HAWKEYE CHAPTER BUICK OWNERSHIP Prior to the March 2013 meeting I was looking at the membership list of the Hawkeye Buick Chapter. At first glance I was amazed at the number of cars. I decided to look at the numbers and see where the member’s interests are, assuming that no one is going to own a car they are not interested in. Hawkeye Buick Chapter statistics In 2012 the Hawkeye chapter had 51 members Those 51 members owned 116 Buicks 16 members or 31 % have more than 2 Buicks By decade listing 1910-1920 no cars 1921-1930 3 cars 1931-1940 10 cars 1941-1950 16 cars 1951-1960 25 cars 1961-1970 20 cars 1971-1980 12 cars 1981-1990 15 cars 1991- 2000 13 cars 2001- 2010 2 cars I find this very interesting and we should be proud of the diversity in years and models of Buicks owned by the Hawkeye members. Wouldn't be great if half of these were to show up at meetings ? Bill Gorman Assistant Director.

The Electra had a big block Buick 455 4bbl engine with power everything all wrapped up in Cortez Gold with a brown vinyl top and a brown interior. Mike's grandfather drove the Electra for 10 years and in 1982 sold the car to Mike's parents. They in turn drove the Buick until 1988 and after 110,000 miles the Electra was about to go to the scrap yard. The engine ran great, but the body was in bad shape. At the age of 15 Mike stepped in due to his interest in cars and started a project. After a year had passed and lots of new metal, paint, tires, and some new interior, he had not only his first car, but his first Buick. The engine was basically untouched with some bolt on items like a starter, alternator, and a carb rebuild. Mike drove the Electra for seven years and added another 100,000 miles. During those seven years, he owned two other Electras, a 1969 LeSabre, and two Skyhawks, not to mention many other "project" cars. Mike was sure hooked on Buicks! While enjoying the Electras, one of the Buicks Mike had always wanted was a Skylark or a GS.

  • Au 81 Vechicl3e Body Engg Notes
    UNIT 1- CAR BODY DETAILS Cars can come in a large variety of different body styles . Some are still in production, while others are of historical interest only. These styles are largely (though not completely) independent of a car's classification in terms of price, size and intended broad market; the same car model might be available in multiple body styles (or model ranges ). For some of the following terms, especially relating to four-wheel drive / SUV models and minivan / MPV models, the distinction between body style and classification is particularly narrow. Please note that while each body style has a historical and technical definition, in common usage such definitions are often blurred. Over time, the common usage of each term evolves. For example, people often call 4-passenger sport coupés a "sports car", while purists will insist that a sports car by definition is limited to two-place vehicles. Body work In automotive engineering , the bodywork of an automobile is the structure which protects: ⦁ The occupants ⦁ Any other payload ⦁ The mechanical components. In vehicles with a separate frame or chassis , the term bodywork is normally applied to only the non-structural panels, including doors and other movable panels, but it may also be used more generally to include the structural components which support the mechanical components. Construction There are three main types of automotive bodywork: ⦁ The first automobiles were designs adapted in large part from horse-drawn carriages, and had body-on-frame construction with a wooden frame and wooden or metal body panels. Wooden-framed motor vehicles remain in production to this day, with many of the cars made by the Morgan Motor Company still having wooden structures underlying their bodywork.

His parents, Larry and Fran Barre, were willing to help their son out in his quest so Dennis and his dad went shopping. The search went on without finding a really nice solid Chevelle when one day Larry was at a car auction in the summer of 1988 and spotted a nice 1971 Skylark. He called Dennis and described the car to him as a triple black southern car with no rust and it looked very much like the body style of the Chevelle. Dennis responded if it really looks that good, try and get it for me. Larry was able to seal the deal and bring the Skylark home. Since Larrys mother lived right next door he parked it in her garage and shut the door. When Dennis was finally able to talk to his dad and ask if he was able to buy the car, Larry told him, No, it went for way to much money. Right away Dennis was depressed that he missed out on his first car. When Dennis came home from school that day, Fran told Dennis to go next door to Grandma's house and get something out of the garage. Dennis, still steaming about a missed opportunity, didn't want to go there and he pitched a fit.

  • Conversion to Buick
    An affiliated Buick Gran Sport Club of America Richard Lassiter 625 Pine Point Circle 912-244-0577 Chapter of: Valdosta, GA 31602 http://www.buickgsca.com/ Volume 5 Issue 2 Summer 1999 Stage 1: Conversion to Buick John Dallianis was first introduced to Buick Power when his friend Ron kept bragging about his red air-conditioned 1970 GS Stage 1. He kept bragging that the car could smoke the tires for as long as you could keep your foot in it. John never really took this seriously because after all he was a Chevy guy. John's curiosity was aroused when his friend said the car turned some 13-second E.T.s at the track and beat a few Chevrolets in the process. John was still in disbelief, but curious. About 6 months later his friend called and said that he was regretfully selling his GS and if John knew anyone who was interested to let him know. John kept thinking maybe the stories are all true about "Buick Power" and maybe he'll take a ride, but of course he wouldn't buy. One week went by and John's curiosity was overwhelming. When John told Ron that he would like to take the GS for a ride, Ron cracked a smile on his face as if he knew John was going to buy it. Ron threw him the keys and said have fun. John asked Ron to come with but Ron said he trusted him. John got in the red bomber and turned the ignition key only to hear the rumble of 360 horses and drove it around until he could find a safe secluded area for testing purposes.

  • Mon. Oct. 4, 2010 VAE Board Meeting Corrected Date What She Wanted for It
    The Official Monthly Publication of the Vermont Automobile Enthusiasts, Inc. October, 2010 Barn Finds Still Do Exist ...I got a phone call back in Janu- ary of this year from a friend of my wife. She said that a gal she worked with had inher- ited an old car and wanted to get rid of it. She had no clue what it was. As far as I was concerned, those magic words ―old car‖ were enough. I gave her a call. It turns out the car was a 1930 Ford Model A coupe. I‘ve always been a Chevy guy, with a few large Classics thrown in, Rolls, Pack- ard, etc., but this was worth a look. I made an appointment to see the car the next day and was really surprised to find out it was only seven miles from my house.It was in a barn that you can‘t see from the main road.
