Summernight Fire
Today it was a lovely day here in the Netherlands.
When the evening started to fall, the temperature drops a little, causing the ladies to complain about it. A nice and warm fire fixed this :)

Buick Super Riviera Coupe (1958)
The Buick Super was produced from 1940–1942, and from 1946–1958.
The 1950 Super came with a singele two-barrel carburetor on a 263 cid I8. This setup produced an HP rating of 112. The car was able to achieve speeds over 90 miles per hour (140 km/h) with its Dynaflow automatic transmission which, rather than changing through gears, used the torque converter to couple the motor to a single gear ratio.
The car had 2 splits in the back glass although the windshield was a curved one-piece glass. Models also came with an AM radio and an antenna!
The Super is still an excellent example of the ushering in of the '50s. Restored models can command high prices on the auction block.
