Guest 1950SuperPDX Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Well, this is a pretty amazing story. Here goes:This car was originally purchased in Portland Oregon by Jack Deswart, him and his wife owned the car until 1995 (his wife called it Mrs. Daisy) When he sold it an an estate sale it had 19,000 miles on it! (Jack was also the Tillamook County Sheriff) In 1995 Scott Benwell purchased the car and kept it until Oct 2009. Jack didn't drive it much so it spent a lot of its time in his dairy barn with a tarp over it. In 2005 the top end was rebuilt as well as the carb. So Jack brought the car from Tillamook to Portland for me to check it out. As of now it has 28,000 original miles!, original paint, interior, shop manual, everything this is untouched and in mint condition. Its really amazing. Check out the pics. Tell me what you guys think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Stoneberg Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 A great looking car and I dont think I have ever seen that interior combination before.One thing about these kind of pictures is that you can learn how things are supposed to look like, like the firewall being the same color as the car and how the hood insulation is applied. Its great in that regard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Phillips Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 1950 Super PDX, you need to send me some large digital photos of that car! I would like to put it in the Buick Bugle magazine when I do an issue on the 1950 Buicks early next year.

Ben Bruce aka First Born Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 The back seat cushion appears to have the same fabric as my 50 -mod 52. The rest are after market seat covers. I installed a lot of similair covers in the 50,s. I can only wish either of my 50,s were as clean and origional. Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrEarl Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 AWESOME is right, ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love these low mileage, unmolested 1-2 owner cars in this condition. In fact I get real stupid when I find a 54 in such condition and can't rest until it's in my barn. Hopefully you are a member of the BCA and plan to show it in the Archive class some day and I can see this in person. Thanks for sharing all the nice pictures. I'm sure you will have lots of request for detailed ones from folks restoring theirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
