  • 1941 Buick Roadmaster Sedan from North Carolina by Earl D
    The Story of our 1941 Buick Roadmaster sedan from North Carolina By Earl D. Beauchamp, Jr. If I had to go back to the very beginning, it would be 1952 when I was 14 years old. That is when I first became virally interested in old cars. Now old cars, to me, were the years I remembered during my short lifetime, which was the 1930s and 1940s. Most of the books and magazines of the time, specifically MOTOR TREND, dealt with cars specified as “Classic Cars”, as defined by the fledgling Classic Car Club of America (CCCA). I religiously read Robert Gottlieb’s monthly column called “Classic Comments”. Around 1953 Mr. Gottlieb wrote and published a book called “Classic Cars”. I believe it was in that book where he made the statement that “no Buick was ever a “Classic Car” or something to that effect. Well, my family was a Buick family, or had been until hard times caused my parents to trade their 1939 Buick in on a 1951 Plymouth (in 1958 they went back to Buick for the rest of their lives). That statement by Mr. Gottlieb stuck in my young craw, and I never got over it. In 1955 I was allowed to get my first car, and it was a 1939 Buick Special sedan optionalized with dual sidemount fenders and a full pleated leather interior. It had belonged to a family friend. Now, I was convinced this car had to be a “Full Classic” and I wrote to Mr. Gottlieb and asked him. Then, in 1956 he wrote a second book called “Classics and Special Interest Cars.” Although he never answered my letter; in that book he mentioned a car like mine and said it was not a “Classic” but would be considered a “Special Interest Car”.

Buick engineers developed the “valve-in-head” engine, a light, powerful and reliable engine which would eventually influence the entire automotive industry. William C. Durant was instrumental in promoting Buicks across the country using his Durant-Dort Carriage Co. outlets and salespeople as the nucleus of a giant distribution system. He knew the Buick as a “self-seller”. If automobiles could be this good, he thought, maybe it was time to switch from the horse and buggy business to automobiles.

  • Detention in Afghanistan and Guantánamo
    Composite statement: Detention in Afghanistan and Guantanamo Bay Shafiq Rasul, Asif Iqbal and Rhuhel Ahmed 1. All three men come from Tipton in West Midlands, a poor area with a small community of Pakistani and Bangladeshi origin. The school all three attended is considered one of the worst in England. Rhuhel Ahmed and Asif Iqbal who are now both aged 22 were friends from school, although one year apart. Neither was brought up religiously but each was drawn towards Islam. Shafiq Rasul is now aged 27 and had a job working at the electronics store, Currys. He was also enrolled at the University of Central England. 2. This statement jointly made by them constitutes an attempt to set out details of their treatment at the hands of UK and US military personnel and civilian authorities during the time of their detention in Kandahar in Afghanistan in late December 2001 and throughout their time in American custody in Guantanamo Bay Cuba. This statement is a composite of the experiences of all 3. They are referred to throughout by their first names for brevity. There is far more that could be said by each, but that task is an open-ended one. They have tried to include the main features. 1 Detention in Afghanistan 3. All three men were detained in Northern Afghanistan on 28 November 2001 by forces loyal to General Dostum. They were loaded onto containers and transported to Sherbegan prison. The horrors of that transportation are well documented elsewhere and are not described in detail here. 4. According to information all three were given later, there were US forces present at the point they were packed into the containers together with almost 200 others.

  • MY FIRST CAR...By William Petty
    MY FIRST CAR....By William Petty I got my first car in July 1968.I was working at a local engineering firm the summer after my freshman year at NC State and I was driving my parents 1966 Buick Riviera to work every day. My dad had a city car he drove but my mom was stuck with no car so I think they finally decided it was time for me to get one for myself. (I had been campaigning for one since I got my driver's license almost four years before). My dad and I went down to Holt Buick on Pacific Avenue at the Beach, (he and Herb Holt were old friends), and went in the office and he told Mr. Holt that we wanted to order a new Buick Special Deluxe coupe "with nothing on it but paint". That was the cheapest Buick at the time. Mr. Holt turned to me and asked me, "you want something on it don't you?" I did manage to get full wheel covers, a tinted windshield and chrome trim around the windows. We ordered it in blue with a white vinyl interior and it cost $2800. It had rubber floor covering, a straight six with manual three speed on the column, manual brakes, and manual steering. I drove it to college for four more years and commuted to 21st St. in Norfolk, when I started working at Williams & Tazewell Architects. I traded it, in late December of 1972, for a new Olds Cutlass. Our office was one block down from Charlie Falk Used Cars and the parking lot entrance was on 22nd St.
