diamondx Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 (edited) Complete, solid ,original & unrestored car. 4 door. Straight Eightohv -not a flathead, manual 3 spd. Located in eastern Iowa, just a bit north of Interstate 80. Good title. No restoration started and no parts sold off this car. Glass is all there, interior has wear & tear. One of the tail light lens is broken. Stainless trim is all there. Was running, driving, stopping, shifting a few years ago and then I put it back inside for storage. The radiator had a very small leak --I removed it to have the local radiator shop repair it , told them "no hurry" , but after sitting there for several months I took it back and have it in the trunk of the car. It should be a easy fix. The engine ran great. I am sure the battery will need to be replace and some fresh gas to get it running again. I put some sta-bil in the gas tank so that should be good...? Anyway , it's is a very solid original car. Delivery possible. Edited January 28, 2018 by diamondx (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamondx Posted December 27, 2017 Author Share Posted December 27, 2017 Imperial62, that is correct -- U need to understand that when things are available for sale , people and businesses tend to advertise those items. U can see this almost everywhere --newspaper classifieds, online ads, television and radio ads, billboards, local bulletin boards. Then when it does sell, THEN the advertiser will no longer post it for sale. U see, if the item has not sold--the advertiser will CONTINUE to advertise the item. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suchan Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Get the radiator fixed and get it running. Buyers can't assume the motor is in good condition if they can't hear it run, and you'll get nothing but lowball offers, if you get any offers at all. Good luck with the sale.

StanleyRegister Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 What's the price history been like over the past few years on Craigslist? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curti Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 I think his question is: If the initial listing was $50,000 then maybe you reduced the price to $45 ,000 then later to $35,000 that would constitute a history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smithbrother Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 The VISOR is worth MORE than the car. That was/is not a good body style, it carries over the 42 side trim, such doesn’t flow with BOXY body lines.IMHO Dale in Indy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamondx Posted January 6, 2018 Author Share Posted January 6, 2018 (edited) I get that question more than the "price history" question. Some people are more interested in the mechanicals of the car than what it has been priced at recently. Even though the picture OBVIOUSLY shows a ohv head , the "flathead" question is still asked frequently by the less educated in mechanics of internal combustion engines. As far as "price history" --I am quite sure I have it priced far above what the retail price was in 1948, excluding the sunvisor option. So , it is still for sale for those with a serious interest and have the permission and cash in pocket to buy. .........so I will wait for the next idiotic response.................

Same visor that on the post war Chevy's and probably all GM cars. I see them at swap meets rather regularly. There were a couple at IOLA last year. I don't think GM offered those visors, a Western Auto special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamondx Posted January 6, 2018 Author Share Posted January 6, 2018 WAY too much drama on this site. Car is listed FOR SALE , not " tell me boring stories, stupid comments welcome, can't afford it, wife won't let me buy it, boyfriend won't let me buy it, it's not as desirable as other cars that look better, if it ran you could drive it, the engine is not a flathead, the car has been for sale for a while" section, and way too many other- "hey, read my comment 'cuz I am an idiot" - replies for anyone to have to deal with. People , buy it or don't 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobg1951chevy Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Boy, this is a very disappointing thread, thanks to the comments written that attack the sale and seller of this Buick. The seller has posted his price, has posted pics. If you don't like the car for whatever reason, be quiet and move on ....... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suchan Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 If the seller is sensitive to comments, this isn't the place to post an ad. Some of the comments were constructive, some statements of fact, some inappropriate by forum rules, but the seller responded to all comments with insults. The car clearly isn't going to sell here for a variety of reasons. Let's call it a day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel boeve Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 He has very long toes so its easy to step on .If you don't have short toes its difficult sell anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobg1951chevy Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 It should not matter if a seller is sensitive or not ......... it should not matter if a seller has long or short toes. Instead it's a matter of respect for others. If anyone is that bottled up, that poor comments come out of their keyboards when any opportunity arises, well, those folks need to find something else to do. Below are comments, from the administrator, regarding ads. Worth reading.

louisde10 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 that is a nice buick i have a 47 special 2 dr. would you be willing to part out the car or are you selling whole. thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynaflash8 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 (edited) Do you have the fender skirts? The rubber stone shields and stainless at their base show that the car originally had rear fender skirts. Check the plate on the firewall to be sure it isn't a 1949 registered incorrectly. The '48 is common, but the '49 is somewhat rare, being built for only 5 months. They look exactly the same...............exactly.

I so like the line about "Permission" Have read and known about dreamers who when they approach the "Boss" about something they want are suddenly no longer interested in it.

kingrudy Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 I used to live in Southern California and this car would be hot seller there. Many low riders would be all over this car. I would recommend listing it in the Los Angeles Craigslist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
