Guest Ray Davis Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 (edited) JD, that is great. My dad drove Buicks back in the 50s when GM ruled. Most of you guys probably never heard of the Dynaflow transmission that Buick had. Dynaflows were opposite from today's transmissions that seem to never stop shifting, it didn't shift at all. Not feeling those shift points just smooth power, you might find yourself going 100 mph before the cop pulled you over. Those were big gas guzzling cars back then, but hey gas was 25 cents and dad was buying. I think that's why I thought it was the good old days. Style was everything, you knew what you were seeing. Chrome, chrome and more chrome. One car could keep David's shop busy from now on. LOL Now days cars zoom by, and they all look pretty much the same, mostly black SUVs. Yeah, I've got a black SUV too, the wife loves it. Here's a real car Edited January 1, 2022 by Ray Davis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Wallis Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Here I am with my first car, a '55 Buick Century with a Dynaflow transmission. That thing was a tank but it served me well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ray Davis Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Tom, I had a 55 Century just like that, same color. My friend had 55 Ford Crown Victoria, and he was sick when that big old Buick beat him in a drag race. I think that was in about 1959 or 60, long long time ago.
