Strike one off the bucket list!

Today I can strike one off my bucket list. It is a short list but none-the-less a list. On my list since the age of 16 years is a desire to have a car from the 50's. The desire started when I looked through the fence surrounding a junkyard. There sat a 1959 Buick Invicta. The car, rusty but complete was going for $600.00. Big money back in the 80's. The love affair for cars of the 50's began that day. I approached my mother about purchasing and putting the old car in her driveway (sound like Steven Kings novel "Christine'). She said she was not having a pile of rusty metal in her driveway. Thus ended my dream of a 50's project car. Until today!

This is my 1954 Buick Special. Bucket list: 1. Car from the 50's. CHECK
