I have owned this car since 1957 ,We use the car almost daily for local parades, weddings, shows, Several cross country trips to the east coast as well as the Buick Club's National meets and many local events. The car was originally Owned by Charley Howard of Sea Bisket fame, used as a parade car for President Franklin D. Rosevelt and of course in the 2001 reliese of the WW2 movie PEARL HARBOR.
