maybelle Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 Waiting for the show Queen to make her appearance. Then I know she will be the best! I didn't set out to have a show car built, just a decent driver. However, there is a chance Madam Maybelle will attend a big show at Keeneland this coming July. My shop has been asked to show her there and I have agreed. We shall see what July may bring! elpad 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Avgwarhawk Posted April 11, 2016 Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 Yes sir. Just standing there minding your own business and they call your name. You're like, "Wait. What?" Every dog has his day!

elpad Posted January 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 http://www.123rf.com/search.php?word=1954+buick+chrome+grill&imgtype=0&t_word=&t_lang=en&oriSearch=chrome+grill&sti=mmml38mkzwx52girrs| This is the website were they are selling a picture of my car front grille, They claim "Royalty Free" images, but they are making money on the monies I dropped to have that grille rechrome. I tell you.... I don't care about anybody taking pictures of the car, after all we are promoting the hobby and most important the history and preservation of these magnificent automobiles but just don't like the way they go about it. They did not even ask or said what they were doing! At least they could have reward me with a free photo. Maybe I should convey to them a piece of my mind, Forgive me Father Buick for I have sin!

Avgwarhawk Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 I get a lot of close up shots of my Buick. Most doing this have expensive professional camera's. I have not found any site selling a photo parts of my Buick but I'm sure there is one out there. I do not suspect they make much money with any particular photo of a Buick. Other than us who may be interested in a professional picture of Buick grill I do not know of anyone. And for us, we can take pictures of our grills all day so no need to buy one. However, GM is very protective of their brand. Like most companies. I would think you could ask this site to remove the picture they are selling. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
