| Re: 1937 Buick You have a very large very rare Model 91 Buick Limited a big six passenger four door sedan. According to a book I have, there were only 1229 of these built. Overall, there were about 3000 Buick Limiteds built that year, including 7 pasenger limos and other models. This compares to maybe 250,000 total Buick production in 1937.
The original color 504 is Sudan Blue Poly, a relatively dark blue metallic. I don't know about the trim code, most of these cars had brown interiors using bedford cord for the seats and broadcloth (felt like material) for the doors. I have seen some with gray interiors too, I am not sure what offerings there were originally.
I restored a 39 Model 90 and loved it, but these cars can be difficult to restore. Parts unique to the 90 series (such as most of the sheet metal, running boards, and interior items) are very hard to find. Fortunately, many items are shared with the smaller Buicks. The '37 is a very attractive car.
Unfortunately, rarity does not always translate into value. Smaller coupes, convertibles and convertible sedans of the same year are generally worth much more. But all Buick Limiteds are unusual and worth collecting in my opinion.
