I dug out a couple photos tonight so I could scan them in high resolution. I thought I'd share them!:coffee:

You might recognize this shot on the front page of the registry, with the exception of a different crop job:

SOMEONE who belongs to the "C" forums is the owner of this beauty.

You can also see a peek of Rolf's car to the left of the last picture. Gary and Brian had me surrounded when I returned from dinner that evening. I then proceeded to drool on their cars uncontrollably. In the first picture, Gary and our late friend Hank Deglman are chatting, probably about his stunning '55 he drove down from Alaska!:eek:

Adam, thanks for sharing these photos. They bring back great memories of four years ago. Re-connecting with Gary after seven years and meeting you and seeing your Centurion convertible were among the highlights of that meet, and I'm always grateful that you captured these cool shots. In fact, that rear shot of my '59 is my favorite of all the photos that have been taken of the car.

Gary's father died in Chicago during the winter, so Gary flew there today to begin the long task of sorting through his dad's items. Evidently, Gary's Buick parts and literature fill a sizeable portion of the attic and basement, so Gary's work is cut out for him. We're hoping he can get back to Alaska in time to place the '55 Roadmaster on the Alaska Marine Highway to get it to Seattle for the Buick National Meet. Gary's Roadmaster is the cover car for this year's National Meet program, and is also the poster car for the beautiful National Meet posters that are now appearing all around the Seattle area.

Adam, I've been wanting to take enlargements of these photos and have them matted and framed for my Buick garage art gallery. All three of them are most significant to me.
