My poor old Buick took a hit

Got Sideswiped last week while at a Red Light.


Gonna have to move the Hitch to the Caddy

I assume the white car was not paying attention and drifted right into your car?

 

[flashback]

Cellphone stuffed in the ear...

She told one of the Witnesses that she Blacked out, I heard her say that when I was on 911, so I reported it, Cops and Ambulance were there within minutes. I hope they review her Fitness to drive.

She was moving pretty good as she wiped the entire side of the Car.
I am still able to drive it, the doors still open and close fine, but since the steering wheel is no longer centered, something in the Linkage, or the Frame Bent.


Back at home

Most likely a tie rod is bent. Easy fix

 

[airshot]

Kinda big to miss wouldn't you say !?

 

[jimmbo]

I've had several Cars that were bigger than it, and still do

Hafta wonder if that driver got her license during covid....you know, where they drove around a parking lot in order to pass their driving test ?? The road today is full of them !!

Hope you can get it fixed, I love those big old cars, or boats is what we call them.

Same for me. One day I’d like to have a GM (77-78 Cad Fleetwood or 94-96 Impala SS) and a FoMoCo or 2 (Crown Vic or 87/89 Lincoln Town Car). I grew up with a ‘72 Impala 350 and a ‘75 Olds Delta 88 350.
Todays cars disgust me.

The 77 thru 79 had real nice seats



I had a 86 FWB

a 1990 Sedan DeVille

a 1991 Fleetwood


2009 STS



and finally the 95 Brougham. It currently has 12,000 miles on the Odd



Both of my Roadmonsters and the 95 Brougham have the LT1 and the Tow Option. Buick 5000lb and the Caddy 7000lb

My '80 Bonneville got bumped a few years ago. No problem fixing fenders and such, but the huge rear taillight assembly was shattered.

After they received the new part (junkyard from an internet search) the shop called me and said you better come in. It was intact, but completely faded and dull. After a week he was able to find a nos part, but the insurance company wouldn't spring for the cost.

Old car parts are hard to find, and don't even think about a Pontiac. Some Ponch dealers now sell Kias...LOL.

Hope you have better luck.

Had a couple of these in the late 70s
76 Olds Delta 88 Royale
One was a 4dr Sedan, the other a 4dr Hardtop. Both had 7.4 liter(455) engines
They make the Roadmasters, and that 95 Caddy look small. The Wheelbase on these Olds is 124 inches, the Caddy is 121.5

I had an accident in our ‘75 Olds Delta 88 on the iced over Clearview Expressway in Queens NY back in 1980 or so. Road iced over with light snow & freezing rain came over the hill at Frances Lewis Blvd and cars were spinning out of control everywhere. A ‘64 Pontiac Lemans spun & stopped facing us about 4 car lengths ahead. No matter what I did I was gonna hit this guy but got the speed down pretty low…hit front bumper to front bumper no injuries but the Lemans was a bit crumpled but drivable. The Olds you really had to look that battering Ram bumper was pushed back maybe an inch & the fiber glass header panel had a small crack in it. Another time I was on the Hutchinson Parkway lots of trees a big windstorm blew a good sized branch down bounced off the hood didn’t even make a dent.
They don’t make ‘em like they used to!
I miss em!
