Like every picture of every vacation I took with my family. The guy with the camera is never in the picture. I have no history of how well (or poorly) I've aged. The mirror is a big liar, in its eye, I'm still 25. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben That's a Special, see the presence of cowl section between the front door and fender? That means it is the A platform The Super and Roadmaster had the C platform which did not have any cowl section showing between the front doors and fender. Note the four sections of vents on the fender just below the hood? That is Special which had four vent sections. The Super had only three vent sections. The Roadmaster had four sections of vents on the fender, but like the Super was the C platform and had no visible cowl section between the front doors and the fender. What a great picture!

Ben Bruce aka First Born Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Boy, Ken , you gave me something to research. I may still be correct. I have searched online and in Seventy Years of Buick as well as The Buick a Complete History. It looks to me as if all the convertables, all series, still had the cowl between hood/fender and door. When I magnify the picture in question, looks to read ROADMASTER on the hood latch handle. That is what I based my snap decision on. I knew the Super and Roadmaster sedan and coupes looked different, but had not "figured out" what it was. Now I know! Thanks Ben 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But will be on the lookout to see about this feature at the National. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgreen Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 It is good to doubt anything presented on the internet. The other real clincher is the presence of running boards; they were not used on the C platform (Super or Roadmaster). The door handle on the Super/Roadmaster is within the belt line trim. The door handle on a Special and Century is below the belt line trim. I still think it is a great picture, it now graces my computer as the screen saver. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How'd I do? 1936 Special Convertible Coupe ( Century has stainless trim on top of headlights while the Special doesn't ) Probably Francis Cream with tan interior. I'll pay the Smiths but aren't they sisters and not mother and daughter? And what is different about the Smith girls in the Rumble seat between the 2 different angle photos?

JohnD1956 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 It appears the ladies in the rumble seat exchanged positions. I just think the one lass looks a lot younger than the other, and presume that is Mr. Smith and their other two daughters, Constance and Margaret, in the front seat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elpad Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 1 hour ago, kgreen said: Four digit license plate?? Looks like I read “Vermont” on the plate but not sure, too blurry. This is what I found on the state plates history: In 1949, the size of plates was changed to two standard sizes. Plates with four numbers or less were 6" x 10" and those with five numbers were 6" x 11". The next year saw over 100,000 cars registered in Vermont. It is unknown how the numbering of the plates was arranged. It is likely that after 99,999, there was a combination of one letter and four numbers, but that is not certain. It is interesting to note that on the four digit plates in 1950, there was no painted border, while on the five digits plates, there was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elpad Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Yep, that's right, it belongs here. The picture came over when I made a Google search of Peggy Sue, a name that was mentioned on the other thread. I believe this was a car show parade honoring the country singer. Just can't make the model of the Buick if indeed is a Buick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
