Neal Einsidler Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 I have the car since '91. Car has; newly re-built rear with new ring & pinion, inner & outer torque-tube bearings, front torque-tube (drive-shaft) seals, newly sealed up gas tank (currently out), '90's very intact brake hardware all around including drums & wheel cylinders & re-sleeved master cylinder, '90s rebuilt generator, carburetor & fuel-pump, new voltage regulator, radio & cigarette lighter worked a few years ago. The problems are; needs gas-tank put back in, needs a piece of brake-line replaced (from when I did the differential work), tires dry-rotted, floors & rocker-panels are rotting, needs drivers window. The car has been sidelined about 7 years now; the issue is that I'm just not getting to it and only want a constructive disposal, not the junkyard. It's either a good project or parts car for whoever wants to come get it FOR FREE. The car is located at my house in Howard County, Maryland. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g-g-g0 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Looks like it may have some of the grille parts that Elpad is looking for. Unfortunately he is dealing with the diasterous situation in Miami. Anyone out that way that could keep it for him until things settle down, assuming he has interest?

MrEarl Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 I've texted it to him and offered to help Gary, hopefully he can find time to grab it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEarl Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Al is definitely interested in the car and I will be pming the owner as regrettably no phone number. This is what he is dealing with as we speak 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEarl Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 I've got to start checking in here more frequently. Looks like the owner found a home for the Super. Here is his reply "I'm expecting it to be picked up on Tuesday or Wednesday. If anything changes I'll let you know. Thanks, Lamar" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neal Einsidler Posted September 9, 2017 Author Share Posted September 9, 2017 This car is now spoken for. If anything changes, I will update further. Thank you all, for your interest. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irontrap Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Also interested and can grab anytime if the interested party backs out. In PA. Nice gesture by you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neal Einsidler Posted September 12, 2017 Author Share Posted September 12, 2017 The fellow did not take the car, the body is too far gone for him. There's a lot of good parts here for whoever will pick up the car. Any interested person should please let me know. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrEarl Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Al definitely wants the car, but is working, eating, sleeping then back on the road again. Hopefully you can allow him time to work out the logistics. Understandable however if you need it gone sooner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elpad Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Well guys here in Maryland picking up the car which have lots of parts to finish up Toby or maybe she is a candidate for a whole resto, will see. Thanks Neil 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Neil By the way that’s not me. That is Neil who offered the car. Neil became an AACA member just to post the offer, he did not want to junk the car but wanted to go to someone who appreciated Buicks. Right away I can use the two rear fenders and hood, they are in better shape of the 50 (Toby) I’m building not counting the chrome work 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elpad Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Thanks for keeping my back! Well the front bumper guards on this car still have a holes on the bottom, will know if they can be repaired once I remove them. The other cores are being duplicated in another country. Let see how they come out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elpad Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 The car arrived to the new home and soon will start donating parts to “Toby” in the meantime the kids wanted to pose with the car asking me were the eyes were. They were referring to the cars from the Disney movie, go figure 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elpad Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Turned out that this is a Model 52 Super Riviera Sedan and definitely will be used as a parts car. You may follow the car trail on “ Meet Toby my 50, 51 model poject” thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Bruce aka First Born Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Neal, good on you for doing what you did. The vent windows behind the rear doors are the main visual "tell". Mod 51 does not have them. Rear doors are longer, since the increased wheelbase/ body length of the Riviera Sedan is in the rear seating area. Should be a Fisher body tag on top of the cowl, passenger side visible with hood raised. Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elpad Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Exactly as Ben said, the model tag still there and I will post pictures later but everything else is the same. If you google Hometown 1950 Buick models you will see and compare all specifications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
