the Buick ¿ gures to get some extra duty
going to car shows this summer. That’s
just ¿ ne with the Lehmans, who are
more interested in driving the car and
enjoying some family time than saving
the car for trophy chasing and points
judging — although the car is certainly
in condition to do so.
“I really like driving it. It’s fun to
drive,” he says. “I like driving it more
than I do some of the new stuff that’s
out there. The power steering helps a
lot. And it does have a V-8 in it. Grant-
ed, it’s only a 215, but it more than
meets our needs. “
When the car does make appear-
ances at area car shows, it gets its fare
share of attention. The fact that was a
base model “everyman” sedan makes it
unique among the ¿ elds full of big ¿ ns,
À ashy convertibles and muscle cars.
And the car’s stunning, squeaky-clean
condition make it stand out no matter
where it shows up.
“People ask if we bought it like this.
‘Did you buy it at auction?’” Tiffany
says. “No, there were bins and bins of
parts!
“We’ve had a couple people through
Facebook say, ‘Hey, I saw your car. If
you ever think of selling it...’ No, not
until we’re dead and gone. Then we’ll
give it to [the kids]. Unless something
horrible comes along, we’d never sell it.
And then we’d sell a lot of other things
¿ rst.”Show us your wheels!
