I will take this Buick 88 any day of the week, and twice on Sunday..
You mean Oldsmobile don't you? My Dad had a 54.

The blue cooler sticks out like a sore thumb though. I wonder what the top speed was...you think it would go faster than 35mph?

In search of accurate reproduction of music. Real sound is my reference and while perfection may not be attainable? If I chase it, I might just catch excellence.

That looks like it might be a pre-Model T Ford(???).
I looked up the Model S, but it doesn't look quite right to me.
^^^ 1907 Model S Ford.
EDIT: Naah -- the more I think about it... probably a "T" with a custom body (not uncommon, even when new). Late model Ts (second half of the 1920s) even had four wheel brakes and could be purchased in colors besides black (actually, very early Ts could be bought in other colors, too)... but by then the parade had passed the T by.
I am pretty sure I've shared this before -- in fact, heck, I may have seen it here first! -- but (and I am just speculating, now, of course), this might well be Data's joke...

When I zoom in it looks like it may say "Special" on the side.
Oh, you are right. 1954 to 1955 Buick Riviera Special. Looks identical. Thanks Milito.

Really nice pictures and history of your family.
The three "ports" on the front fenders has been a Buick thing through the years.

This Ford was in pristine shape.

eh?
Things got all sort of swirly, but it was also so small it didn't really seem threatening -- just interesting.
That would make me a little nervous!
Why dont you have some German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois and Dobermans running around that beautiful property????

Just a quick Google shows the top speed of a Model T at 45mph. I'm sure that's pretty brisk and scary in a car that old.
I have to say, 45 mph seems awfully fast for something that old.
