Welcome back to the 32 annual Barrington car show!
While I always enjoy seeing my favourite cars at the local shows, I especially like encountering a really cool one that I've never seen before.
The surprise star of this year's show was this 1950 Buick Special. The patina on this car was exquisite; the original faded paint and pitted brightwork looked incredible.
This car was also hot rodded a bit, with bigger tires and an upgraded shifter. This was one Junkyard Dog of a Buick if I've ever seen one. I loved it.

Modern cars are very good appliances; they're safe, efficient and well made. What they lack is character.
Unless I'm familiar with the car maker's logo, I can't tell the difference between, say, a Toyota and a Ford if I see it from across the street.
Back in the day, one could easily ID any car from a block away.

Those old Buicks were tough.
My uncle once deliberately drove a 1976 Electra 225 through one of the town firehouse's big, heavy front doors. It's a long ( and quite funny ) story.
What was left of the door ended up plastered against the nose of one of the fire trucks, and the truck itself sustained minor damage to a few of its' fittings up front.
Uncle Lloyd's beloved '76 Deuce-And-A-Quarter got two broken headlights and the paintwork was scratched up a bit. That was all. When the local police released him, he drove it home.
I'll say it again: those old Buicks were tough indeed.
