The 1957 Buick Century Continued

This is the continuation of my brother driving the Buick. He brings it home and parks in on the curb. Opening the hood later, we see the original 364 horsepower engine.

They sure do. Unfortunately, my brother isn't around to tinker with it anymore. He ran away to North Carolina.

Oil, I think.

I had one, and my dad had one.Great power,crappy suspension.Terrible MPG,but it was fun punching it at 90 and being pushed back in the seat.

I never personally cared for the car. Dad bought it when I was a boy and he couldn't make it work. Brother finally got it working in college. Now he jumped state and we don't know what to do with it.

I had mine a long time ago.It was not all that old then.Best I can remember is that I had it around 1964.The going joke was "change the oil and the ball joints".I loved the comfort ,styling and power.

Also, yes that should be smoking. That is the crankcase ventilation before they invented the modern PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) system. There is also another breather under the car.
