	From a Buick 8 by Stephen King
		Buick 8’s story is told through both flashbacks and present day occurrences much like King’s Delores Claiborne, although it’s more definite when King is asking his readers to switch time frames in From a Buick 8.
		As Ned becomes increasingly familiar with the story of the Buick 8, he begins to connect the death of his father with the otherworldly characteristics of the automobile.
		Intent on discovering the truth behind the Buick 8 and, as such, the truth behind the death of his father, Ned makes his way to the shed within the barracks that houses the Buick 8 and decides to climb in.

	Buick Straight-8 engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		However, unlike most other car makers at the time, the Buick engine was an overhead valve design.
		The engine was sold in different displacements depending on the model of car and the year.
		The last year for Buick's straight-8 was 1953, when the new V8 took over.

	The Great Race 2002 - BuickStreet.com
		Buick’s early overhead two cylinder engines and cars quickly evolved into four cylinder and then six cylinder OHV engines, all of which were very good performers for their time.
		The big Straight 8 engine was the first of nine engines that went into the Buicks that eventually became classics, collectables, or, at the least, highly desirable automobiles.
		Buick’s second great era began in 1953, marked by a major design shift to the big overhead valve (pushrod) V8’s, embodied by the various “nailhead’ designed heads (so-called by virtue of their small diameter, vertically oriented valves).

	Kev's Stephen King House of From a Buick 8
		To be sure, From a Buick 8 could be read as the tale of an Arnie Cunningham who hadn’t been ostracized, and who hadn’t made the rolling stock in his life the only thing in his life.
		From a Buick 8 is a novel about the fascination deadly things have for us and about our insistence on answers when there are none.
		King completed a draft of From a Buick 8 before his own near-fatal auto accident just two years ago, and he addresses the coincidences between his life and the novel in a fascinating afterword.

	Review \| From a Buick 8 by Stephen King
		From a Buick 8 is narrated, campfire-style, by members of the Troop D barracks who haul the car back to the station and lock it away in a shed out back.
		While From a Buick 8 isn't packed with as many hair-rustling moments as some of his classic works, there's enough here to make you think twice before popping open the trunk of your own car and reaching around in the dark interior.
		Ned's father was one of the first people to discover the allure of the Buick -- an obsession which may or may not have led to his gruesome death.

	From a Buick 8
		The novel is about a car, an old Buick, left at a gas station in 1979 by a mysterious man in a fl overcoat who disappeared.
		The attendant calls the State Police, and they show up and have the car towed to their barracks and stored in Shed B. But this car is unusual because it is spotless, not a mark or speck of dirt or mud on it.
		Sandy Dearborn is the main character, though mainly as an observer as, in the past, Curtis Wilcox and the boss Tony take the lead in studying the Buick, and in the present, as Sandy tells the story to Curt's son Ned.

	OFF THE SHELF - “From a Buick 8" : Legends Magazine, Issue 146
		From a Buick 8, recently released (2002), isn’t one of King’s standard horror fare that his long-time fans may remember.
		But From a Buick 8 was given to me by my father and came with rather uplifting reviews and this actually marks the fourth or so book he’s gotten me and who’s reading we shared.
		The Buick 8 came into the (re)possession of the Troop D barracks in Pennsylvania(1) after it rolled into the gas station on Humbolt Road and the driver, a strange guy in a fl hat and trench coat(2), promptly disappeared to leave it there.

		Near the end of From a Buick 8 the central narrator of the story, Sandy Dearborn, states that the account he is relating is not like a movie or a play.

		Many of his books contained a spirit of mischief, glee and a lot of "gotchas!" "Buick 8" is a mature work, sadder and wiser, nostalgic and uncertain of the certainties.
		"Buick 8" was not meant to be presented as a leisurely told tale spread over many years.
		Stephen King has been announcing his exit from writing for a while now; he says that "From a Buick 8" will be his last book (the final unpublished volumes of "The Dark Tower" don't count, he says), so it would have been nice if he went out with a bang.

		All of the narrators are marked by the Buick 8--it is a focus for personal disaster--but they believe, rightly, that they are the competent authorities, that to hand it over would make things worse.

	Teenreads.com -- FROM A BUICK 8 by Stephen King
		This Buick 8 pulls up to some gas pumps at a full-serve gas station in Western Pennsylvania in 1979.
		The first draft of FROM A BUICK 8 was completed shortly before King's infamous injuries at the hands of a careless motorist in 1999; there are a couple of moments in the book that seem to eerily prefigure what happened to King.
		The inspiration for FROM A BUICK 8 itself arose from another incident that I won't reveal here --- King does a wonderful job of it in his Afterward --- but accounts for the setting of the tale in Western Pennsylvania.

	BookPage Fiction Review: From a Buick 8
		It seems the Buick's owner disappeared at a service station, leaving behind the unusual vehicle, a doorway between this world and another.
		The men (and one woman) of Troop D spin their saga in round-robin fashion for Ned, whose father was one of the original officers to discover the Buick, and the one who took the fiercest interest in its origins.
		His description of the eerie similarities between his own near-fatal misfortune and the plot of From a Buick 8 may well raise the hairs on the back of your neck.

	'From A Buick 8,' by Stephen King
		Ned, a high school senior when his father was killed, begins hanging out at the barracks, ultimately coaxing stories of his father's obsession with the Buick out of the troopers.
		About the time that we learn the Buick not only gives birth but ingests living creatures as well, you may be ready to swap Ned for bed.
		Even the title mirrors an old Bob Dylan tune, "From a Buick 6." King is successful largely because he connects with readers by speaking their language.

		Toward the end of a hot July afternoon in the year oh-one, Curtis pulled over one of those big sixteen-wheelers, an interstate landcruiser that had left the fourlane because its driver was hoping for a home-cooked meal instead of just another dose of I-87 Burger King or Taco Bell.
		Over the years the troop absorbed the mystery as part of the background to their work, the Buick 8 sitting out there like a still life painting that breathes -- inhaling a little bit of this world, exhaling a little bit of whatever world it came from.
		In the fall of 2001, a few months after Curt Wilcox is killed in a gruesome auto accident, his 18-year-old boy Ned starts coming by the barracks, mowing the lawn, washing windows, shoveling snow.
