Feature Car of the Month: November 2020
Mel and Mary Sadler have been the proud owners of this beautiful 1955 Buick Special Riviera since 2005!
“I always drove Buicks and when I saw this one I fell in love with it”, Mel said.
They purchased the car from the original owner who lived in Iroquois Falls in northern Ontario. When purchased, the car had 76,395 original miles on it and was mostly restored. Then, the Sadler’s finished the restoration by replacing all the running gear, reupholstering the interior including the trunk which was done by a company in Orillia.
The car was repainted by M.G. Services in Brechin, and a new set of radial tires put on her for that extra smooth ride. They had all the chrome redone “at great expense”. Mel and Mary happily report the car has won many trophies and plaques. Mel stated that the most memorable day was at the Vandorf Car Show when they won two trophies - The People’s Choice Award and Best in Show Award. “That was a most special day”.
A Note from the Editor:
The goal for the Feature Car of the Month is for the members to be able to put a face to the cars that they see weekly at our show n shines. Plus, it gives the owners a chance to tell their car story. Since I did not receive an article from a member, I am showcasing my car this month. Through the telling of my story, I hope you will get to know me a little better, and more importantly, I hope my article inspires you to write your own story to share with the rest of the club. Looking forward to receiving your stories next month!
