ROD W Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Is it possible to tell which model Vicky Coupe this is, There is no model number on the firewall. It is a body only no running gear or chassis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean1997 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 You could try measuring between the center of the front and rear wheel openings. It might not be exact, but there is a big enough difference between the wheelbases that it might not matter:Series 50 wheelbase = 119 inchesSeries 60 wheelbase = 127 inchesSeries 80 wheelbase = 130 inchesSeries 90 wheelbase = 138 inches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILIKECARS53 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 You can also try to get in touch with some members of the Buick Club and try to get some length measurements of the body but must be the same body style. I agree with Sean on the wheelbase measurement but it might be difficult on the 60 and 80 series, since there is only 3" difference. Whatever in turns out to be, it is a rare body style.If a 90 series 556 were made, if a 80 series 758 were made, if a 60 series 2887 were made and if a 50 series 4118 were produced. The figures are for USA production. There were some exported in each series but not many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 (edited) I am fairly sure that this is a Series 50 (Model 58). The 80 and 90 series cars have six hood doors and the Series 60 has a bigger gap between the front of the hood and the first door - (60) http://www.cars-on-line.com/photo/67800/33buick67837- - (50) - http://www.curbsideclassic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/7-14-2012-013.jpg Edited February 27, 2015 by nzcarnerd (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROD W Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 Thanks everybody. Now I have to decide wether I really want to buy a Vicky Coupe body. The chances of finding the running gear for a 33 series 50 arn,t really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLYER15015 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Rod,Without all the matching numbers stuff (engine+ frame) you have the makings of one beautiful "resto-rod".I can just see that beautiful body sitting on a box steel frame with wire wheels under her and an LT-1 lurking under the hood (bonnet).I'd choose calente red Mike in snowy Colorado Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROD W Posted March 3, 2015 Author Share Posted March 3, 2015 Does anybody know if this body would fit on a 34 or 35 series 119" frame/chassis, It might be easier to pick up a 35 running gear than a 33. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
36threewindow Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Does anybody know if this body would fit on a 34 or 35 series 119" frame/chassis, It might be easier to pick up a 35 running gear than a 33.I have for sale a 1936 233 ci engine with its 3 speed trans,torque tube drive shaft all the way back to rear axle & hubs all original out of a running Buick Special. Looks like your 1933 may have had a 230 ci and I don't know what the compatibility would be. I'm located in St Louis, Mo and if interested in any or all you can reach me at abt1969@yahoo.com Good Luck nice car. Al T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
