‘70 Buick Electra
Here’s a picture of a flower’n tree in my yard. I’m think’n I might have some picture tak’n talents. My old ‘70 Buick Electra looks mighty nice the way I took that picture.
I had to park it in my redneck backyard a few years back when it broke down. I got me a pickup truck. I was go’n to git it fixed, but never got around to gittin it done. My oldest boy took a buncha parts off it when he was put’n parts from two trucks together to build himself a truck.
Got good memories of “the boat” as we use to call it, camping and driving around dirt roads. Was as sturdy as a truck. It’s got that big ‘ol 225 motor in it. I do miss driv’n it.
It sure does look good in my redneck yard though!

Sounds like you have yourself a real beauty!
