Guest ottretro Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Hi,Could anybody please help me identify this vehicle? We are in the UK and have this vehicle to restore for a client, its pretty bad but the straight 8 engine turns and seems like it will fire up.. The only information I have is from the chassis plate, and reads as follows:Chassis 747859701047 MOD76CStyle N4767Body 111409Trim 58Fisher Body.Any information would be most welcome, and of course any parts that are available even more so.Thankyou min advance.

TG57Roadmaster Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Dr. Corbin will have to weigh in on this, but the paint code may be more complicated than initially thought.47-10 is River Mist Gray (Upper) and Dusty Gray (Lower), a striking two-tone scheme, especially when paired with red leather & tan Bedord Cord. Whether 1047 is the same or has the colors reversed, will have to wait for Dave's input...River Mist Gray (a handsome dark metallic) is a '42-'46-only color, but used in combo with Dusty Gray in '47 (47-10) according to my Master Parts Book. (River Mist is shown in my 1942 Martin-Senour paint book, but I couldn't find it at Auto Color Library).Regardless, it will be one beautiful Buick, most worthy of restoration.TG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif Holmberg Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 You are right TG I forgot to look at the lower on the paint code. Leif in Sweden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Commodore Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Are there parts available for your Buick? Yes, there were quite a few Buick sold. Ask that question on the Buick - Post War - AACA Forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
