I've had two Buicks from the 1950s. Yours is beautiful! Mine were a '54 Special and a '55 Roadmaster. I'll join as soon as I find a credit card that works.

This almost made me cry seeing this whole thing. My dad passed away last year, and we had a 1965 Skylark that he owned since he was 16. I don't know a lot about cars beyond the basics, and I'm definitely not financially capable of restoring it. It's rough, it's been sitting since 2002 in the yard and is starting to show some bad signs of rust. Seeing this really makes me want to do what I can to fix it, but I'm just so clueless. I've learned a lot from watching your channel and I'm confident I could get it started and running again with a day or two of effort, but I wouldn't even begin to know where to go from there. The interior is shot, it's sitting on 3 flats, I don't know half of where any of the wiring or tubes go or what they do. After seeing this, I'm starting to think I'd regret selling it, but I'm also regretting letting it sit and rot not doing anything with it. I'd love to see it on the road again, and I know it's a solid vehicle... at least it was 20 years ago... My father rebuilt the engine from the ground up when he was in high school. I wish I had more time in the day, and I wish he was still here to restore it like we planned a few years ago.

I'm not picky on the motor as long as it rumbles) with wide mags on the back. This is inspiration to find even another one like it some day like your current giveaway car. You just dont find those things on the east coast in Canada anymore. The Buick looks amazing, and I'm so happy for you that you've found your old man's Buick. Heck it means a lot to me, I cant believe how much it means to you. Proud of you buddy. -Darian

'specially as a feller gets older. My taste in cars was completely formed by my grandfather's 1967 Chevelle Malibu hardtop coupe (which I fantasize about tracking down someday in an Arizona junk yard - or better yet, totally preserved by a serious Chevy lover!). So I'm gonna sit back and enjoy this vicarious trip down memory lane AND somebody getting a chance to make right something that went terribly wrong.

The significance of this car to you and your family makes it irreplaceable. It's amazing that it survived until you found it again. There's magic and madness in that body, and the colour scheme inside and out is stunning. It's interesting to see that your history with the Restored gentlemen isn't just a modern collaboration too. The music, the journey, the humour and effort involved... it's a really lovely package that I get to just sit on my backside and enjoy, letting it spark my imagination or desire.

Two odd years behind and 3 minutes in, gotta pause cause my eyes a leakin a lil bit.

Glad I found it for him. He still gets choked up telling people about finding it. Ya know, they say these things are just cold steel and iron and rubber and glass, but dammit I fully believe every machine has a soul and a personality. It may be worth so many cents a pound at the scrap yard, but to the man that put countless hours or miles on it, having an old mechanical friend like that back after it being gone is beyond priceless.

Really enjoyed watching a 3 parts. The memories you have with that care make everything worth it. I'm a huge fan of painting classics back to their original colors. To me it's like preserving history and showing what these cars looked like new. But it's your car and you should do what makes you happy with it. I once bought my 1st car back after 15 years and so much was changed, including the color, that it lost that sentimental feeling and I ended up selling it again a year later. Definitely do whatever makes you enjoy the car the most.

Nice that you hooked up with "Restored". I've followed him and his dad as they dove into an old International Harvester KB pickup like the one I'm working on. Both great channels here.......

As Richard Hammond said: it's like a public bathroom. You enter, you do what you're supposed to do and you get out. You don't hang in bathrooms.

You know it’s gonna be a damn good evening when vice grip garage uploads a 45 minute video!

My father owned a 56 Special (also black and white) in 1963 when I was 10 years old, he bought it in Hawaii when we lived there on Pearl Harbor Navy Base. He loved the car and when we were transferred to Seattle the Navy shipped it from Hawaii to Seattle for us. Dad wasn't a big car guy but he really loved that car. Our whole family of 4 were in the car in Seattle when someone ran a stop sign and hit us hard from the side right where I was sitting behind my Dad. The car was totaled, and Dad was very sad about that and he bought another 56 Special for a parts car to rebuild his, but never got around to doing it. Seeing your car brings back a lot of memories from a whole lot of years ago.

I love that he left you a vice grip 👍

A guy bringing me along a journey such as this is a real treat.

I literally smiled as you walked out to the car !! Very happy for you !

Yea congratulations!!!! That's the coolest, I have one 65 chevelle SS that I want back, if it isn't wrecked, I put a nasty 427 in it and did no chassis or anything work, I was young it was the first car I ever bought with my own $

Thank you for taking us along on your trip through memory lane. Very enjoyable episode. The best thing about learning about 'the car' are the stories and owners behind the car. Will look forward to see this car updated someday on your channel.

We love memory lane. It's very nice to hear history about your life Derek. I know this is an older video. But I'm just catching up. Thank you again for the great 👍

The time-lapse night driving was mesmerizing.

Don't get hood ornaments like that anymore, paint u can swim in, amazing!

That's a good car wash. I've used it often when I visit home.

really can't remember the last time I was this entertained... crushing on this guy's energy... well done.

Hey Derek, you can swing us down memory lane anytime you want. Love the story about the Buick and I'm sure most of your other viewers do as well.

I’d have to keep this one, anything with family history is always special.
