1949 Buick Super Sedanette … 56S … NC ... SOLD!

Not mine, I am posting this for the brother of a former BCA member that passed away earlier this year.

Here is what I know about it …

Restoration was completed in 2002, they purchased it in 2007, and it has been garage kept ever since. It has been partially converted to 12 volt, the radio was not so it is disconnected. I am not sure how rare the Sedanette (56S) is? Asking price is $11,000, car is located in NC and has a clear title.

If interested contact me, I have more pictures, and I will put you in contact with the owner.

Just wanted to let everyone know, the Buick sold today to a local man. Thanks for the interest.

I thought about deleting the post but figured I would leave it here for the pictures if nothing else.

Thanks again for the interest,

I didn't think it would last long at that price.

A very desireable car at a reasonable price. Just a word to the wise: Don't use this car as a guide for correct restoration of one of these. It's a very nice, solid car, but if you are preparing one for 400-point judging, don't go by these pictures.

HI Randall, Glad the car is to remain here at least for now on our home turf. Yeah do not delete the photos or the post and just let it archive. The photos are always great to look at just the same.

A guy I work with has seen my 49, so when he saw yours at the high Point cruise in, he took pictures and showed them to me. I zoomed in and got your phone number, emailed Mike ( my former neighbor who has been lusting after mine ever since I got it) and he had bought it by the end of the same day. I would never have guessed there would be two of them here in Guilford county.

I saw saw it in person today. Nice car and a good deal for both parties, IMO. Thanks!

Rockable, I remember when you were looking for one. What did you eventually get? We should all try to bring our '49s to the same event sometime.

I got a '49 Super just like this one, except it had been hot rodded about 15 years ago. It has a 455 Buick with TH400 and a 10 bolt rear. Looks stock, runs great. I've sorted out a lot of the mechanical issues. Mine has a solid body but needs cosmetic restoration. I will do that after I retire in about 3 years. Until then, I'm going to drive it like it is.

Recently, I installed a 4 bar rear suspension with coil overs and lowered it about an inch or so, compared to these pictures.
