50jetback Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 A really well presented ebay advert for a nice 1936 Buick including heaps of great photos.But who is going to break the news to the sellers that what they have is not a rare 1936 Special Sport Coupe with only 2597 examples being produced ( as they claim ) but in fact a model 48 Special Victoria Trunk Coupe, the second most popular Buick sold in 1936 with a total of 21,241 being produced ( plus a further 82 for export ). http://www.ebay.com/itm/Buick-Other-SPECIAL-SPORT-COUPE-FRAME-OFF-AMAZING-FRAME-OFF-RESTORED-1936-Buick-Special-Model-40-/360976865576?forcerrptr=true&hash=item540be5d928&item=360976865576&pt=US_Cars_Trucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RivNut Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 The seller is a dealer, don't be bashful, tell it like it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Phillips Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Nevertheless, what a beautiful restoration! Dashboard bezel color not correct, but otherwise a very, very nice piece of work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egor Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Not to mention that the "correct" exterior colors shouldn't be used in combination. '36's were single body color. Looks good, though. No doubt the dealer knows it's not a coupe; it's just a hook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39BuickEight Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Gorgeous Car! I see the title says Victoria now, was it changed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Eaton Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 This could be interesting......he may have paid the sell too much because he thought it was rare and correct. I figure if they are in the business to sell "classic" cars, they should research and know what they are selling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sean1997 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 It is not unusual to see the model number stamped in instead of out (or to be completely missing). I'm guessing the 48 is stamped in because it was stamped by Buick and not Fisher. I think Fisher was more interested in the style number because they built bodies for all GM lines.
