mrmike Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I just saw the "Berlin Buick" on Velocity's Bitchin' Rides. Dave Kindig had talked with the owner at Hot August Nights in Reno, Nevada who described the car in some detail to Dave and Kevin. Keep up the good work, John!

GerN Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Fantastic project choice! As usual . . . BTW, does the radiator go behind the engine and the car run with an open rear lid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerald......it has dual Radiators and pumps behind the seats and yes it does run with the rear lid closed or open Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I watched an episode of Bitchin Rides I had saved, last evening. It's the episode where they took the '57 Ford and '55 Nomad to a show in Reno. There was the Berlin Buick! I had never heard of it before your thread, but there it was! Dave talked with the owner and there was some video of the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GerN Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Yup, I should have figured that out myself from the photos. This almost motivates me to do a mid-engine Mazda rotary-powered VW bug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
