    Re: Buick Woody - this video took me back 65 years. I lived near a convent and the nuns owned a 1953 Buick Roadmaster Woody just like this; it even had its own garage. I can still see and hear in my memories. I would so love to see this car in person.

    Now that was when America 🇺🇸 was at its finest. You can’t get no better than that. Mr. Smith and his wife and children did a great 👍🏾 and wonderful job on the restoration of that 53 Buick Beach 🏝️ 🏖️ Wagon Station 🚉 Wagon.
    That 53 Buick Woody Wagon puts these new over hyped cars 🚗 🚘 🚙 minivans and SUV’s 🚙 to shame. I’d still choose and pick an Antique, Classic and Vintage Ride over today’s new rides any day or any time whatsoever Dennis.
    Mr. Smith have quite a collection of Antique, Classic and Vintage Rides again my hat’s 🎩 off and two thumbs up 👍🏾 👍🏾 to him and his wife and sons on the excellent restoration on the 53 Buick Woody Beach 🏝️ 🏖️ Wagon Station 🚉 Wagon. One day I’ll play and win the Mega Millions or Powerball Jackpot 🎰 or play them both and win 🥇 🏅 🏆 both Jackpots get a much bigger house and a very large chunk of land property for a climate controlled warehouse garage and start a collection of my own of Antique, Classic and Vintage Luxuriously, Luxurious, Luxury Rides, Muscle Cars and Fully Equipped, Fully Functional, Fully Loaded, Fully Powered Beach 🏝️ 🏖️ Wagons Station 🚉 Wagons.

    My Dad used cars like these traveling across Texas for Buick Motor Division. He was a Buick man and had so many tales to tell. He loved the straight 8. Out of WW II and into, what was then GMI and now is Kellar University in Flint, MI, then from engineering to sales. I remember the glistening chrome grills and trim from the '50s. I would look at them in awe and touch the chrome. They were such massive autos. He left me his last Buick, a 2008 Lucerne CXL (loaded of course) with only 28,000 miles on it. I still have it covered in my driveway. I've put 2,200 miles on it this year. Time for an oil change.

    Beautiful car. I was lucky to have spent the first few years of my life in a 1952 Roadmaster Estate Wagon in a darker green than this one. Don't really have any memories of it, other than the one from stories that have implanted in my head after years of hearing them from family. My mother traded that in for a 1957 Imperial Convertible, which I have actual memories of. My mother sure did have some beautiful cars over the years. I'm pretty sure that my father gave her just about everything that she asked for, which other than 7 children, wasn't very much. I'm pretty sure that a few of those kids might have even been his idea. Or so, at 96, he still tells me. Lucky to have had him around for this long.

    I love the GM designs from the late 40's, tthe Catalina, DeVille, Rocket 88, Riviera, but after 1950 the cars balloned, and looked so bloated. To me Buicks throughout the 50's were some of the ugliest. However, tho it's overweight, this Buick is the very definition of Estate Car. What I am surprised about, YOU a Studee guy ignoring that Starlight! And, it looked like a Commander.
