It's a coupe. A 1990 so it doesn't have that troublesome CRT screen.
 
For years it belonged to an 85 year old member of the Buick Club and the current owner has owned it 7 years. Decent shape, always a Seattle car so no rust.

Sounds like a nice car! So, are you in the Buick club? I wonder if I'd be old enough to join?
 
Hate to say it, but one reason I let my membership in the local DeSoto club expire was simply that I didn't have much in common with the other members. I was only 20 when I bought mine, and most of the other members made the typical Buick demographic look like the Justin Bieber crowd. Or, back then I guess it was New Kids on the Block or whatever...

Strange color really that I hadn't seen befoe but not a repaint.
 
A cross between silver and charcoal I would say.

Yeah, you're old enough A-hole
 
I did belong about 12 years ago when I had my 1953 Suoer with 45,000 miles and at the time most were my age or older.

Sounds no different than the MBCA here. At last year's show, I think I was the 2nd or 3rd youngest person there out of maybe 75 entrants - and I am getting into my mid 30s now. Some members had been members for about 20 years when I was born!

Same to you!
 
I din't know about the Ford show at BCC today and missed it!
 
Instead I ended up at the Triple X in Issaquah for a boring BMW meet.

Really? I had no idea there was a Ford show there either, damn. I had the old car out too...probably won't take it off surface streets until I get the parking brake and cooling system issue taken care of, maybe next month.
 
Mustang show at BCC should be in a month or two.
