As a good start (i hope that my page will slowly but steady grow) - photos from ebay auction. Bidding ended 2nd of december, 2008. I won :) The car itself is a '55 Buick Special. My expectations are that it will take few years to make it drive like i want it to. At least it is intact and complete. For me the worst part in restoring a car is searching for missing stuff, when one don't even know what to search.
Plans? Let's bring it to Poland first :)

Previous car (European Ford Granada, rare 2-door version, from 1979 - 60 000 kilometers, like new - i will miss it) sold, money paid via paypal, shipping arranged. Now I walk on the walls and ceiling trying to find out what and how paperwork need to be done. I don't like even thinking about talking with Customs Office about fees... First thing (even when Buick will be still on the ship) - get a moto expert's opinion that Buick is a historical car and approve that opinion in Antique Keeper's Office (I don't know how this is called in english). It will let me have very little Customs fees, instead of normal (like for normal, not classic car). That is the right way, I hope :)
I just called Customs Office information - they say, that this expert's opinion shoul be done before Buick shipping - in order to ship it as a historical car. But how shipping company in US could respect our law and paperwork?!? Anyway - I'll ship it anyway and won't listen to them.
