1949 Buick Sedanette burned project for parts or?

[Guest Bill Nielsen]

This was my project to do when I retired. Our neighborhood burned while car stored under a tarp, outside. It is way beyond my ability now. The only things that were not in fire were the hood (entire car was that green before fire), steering wheel. Car was partly disassembled, and window trim, dash etc. were inside. All die cast/pot metal parts melted. Very small amount of stainless trim left. Almost rust-free body, (surface rust after fire). Can't fix it; Can't stand to look at it! Interested? Have paperwork for registering and title from wrecking yard.

What a loss

Bill , try listing at the HAMB site if you don't get response here.

There are guys there that gut them any ways and build from scratch.

At least it would be saved from the wrecking yard.

Location???????

[Guest Bill Nielsen]

Thanks for the comments!  I don't really know what to do with this car. I had great expectations.  I guess anywhere it could be used, rather than the wrecking yard, would be an improvement. It is located about 35 miles west of Salt Lake City, Utah.

Sorry to see that happen. 

If you decide to part it, I could really use the long trim that runs from the rear to the door. 

Good luck with the sale.
