In this business I talk to a lot of people but some I look forward to talking to more than others. A buddy of mine from the East coast is always one of my favourite people to talk to. He called today to order some magazines but of course we ended up talking cars for about a half hour. Actually Bill did most of the talking as he's a great story teller with a genuine love of all things automotive. He also has a rich history to draw from - yep, he's waaaaay older than me. If conversation is an art form, Bill is Picasso. Today he was waxing poetic about his newest purchase, a 1964 Buick Riviera (425ci) he picked up for under $7,000 and has done nothing but drive the wheels off it since. He's reluctant to make any "improvements" because the car is perfect the way it is. From there the conversation started to go back in time.
