Derek and Lamar,
I have one for you. I located it enroute to TRFalls last month. It's a 55 Special Estate Wagon $1400 but I'll bet $1,000 would secure it. I'll try to add a photo or two.
I am considering it, but I really wanted it to be a Century. Oh well. I have to get over that "top of the line" attitude I have. The car was straight and it said it was a Colorado car. It had all the glass out but I think it was piled inside.
I am lukewarm on them. I like the 54-56 actually better then the over-the-top Caballeros of 57-58. Jake, I have a friend that may be interested in this 55. did you ever do anything with it. Pictures?

Lamar,
Actually I took 2 photos, and one did make it onto the BCA General forum under heading MIDDLE RIVER AUCTION I believe. I was hoping to include about 15 photos taken during the trip but sometimes my computer, which is so slow - times out and I have to get off and try again, but one photo I see did make it.

Hmmm...I really need to stop looking at this thread.
That '41 is about half of what I paid for mine this spring...I guess I got a decent deal.
The price may be right on the '65 Riv...those first generation Rivs are really pretty cars, but this one sounds like you'd need more patience than I have.

Cool Project, but how much? I really don't know how much it's worth, that's why I'm waiting for offers... and I have been thinking about ebay.

Hey Stevo, don't know why but I thought of you when I saw this. 1946 buick rodmaster - $300 Don't know if it was intentional or not, but I kinda like that name "Rodmaster". Now if I just had a coupe to turn into a hotrod.... $300 ain't bad for a complete car

Couldn't help but notice the listing for a 1951 Sedanette!
I don't have production figures handy, but the Sedanette was offered only in the Super series in '51, and it's got to be extremely rare.
I have NEVER even seen one of these '51 Super Sedanettes. I am not aware that any have ever been displayed at a BCA National.
Someone needs to check this one out.
Edit update: Only 1,500 of this model (56S) were produced.

As usual, when it sounds too good to be true...
Spoke with the owner and asked him to read out the ID tag numbers. First of all the car is a 1950. The rest of the numbers he read out were Mod 4407 Body BC 349. Not sure what that would be. I asked him to check the 4407D and he read it out the same again. Nevertheless the car is from California and has had the post removed, appears to have possibly been chopped and the door handles shaved etc.
The car is in Riverdale which at a time back in the 70's was referred to as Reeferdale. Doesn't sound like much has changed...

I have a very complete and un-molested 1948 Buick Roadmaster ambulance that was built by Flxible coachworks for the US Military. It served it's life in a dry climate, and has been sitting stored since 1971. It has 58,000 original miles, although the engine has a hole in the block.
Engine is removed, and everything is still with this vehicle. It is a very very very rare machine, and has the military vehicle classification/name if B-23 Flxible cut a line totally around the vehicle, and raised it from the base of the windows up around 6 more inches for headroom. They then cut the car in half vertically and chanelled it to be longer but the length if the rear access doors. They open opposite as well. Both are "Suicide doors" and their windows were made to roll down as well. It has the stock and unalterd dash with radio. The cab divider is there, as it some of the velvet interior.
This is the only one of these that you will find. It is a really solid and 95% rust free car.
The rear hatch pillar on the driver's side needs replacing from corrosion, as does the bulge panels on the front doors. The chassis is solid, and the rest of the main hull of the body is solid and straight. There is no floor rust at all.
Please e-mail casual interest, but only call if you are serious about this machine, and have the funds to buy it. (503)841-0239
Length is slightly less than 20 feet. The last photo shows the interior of a new version, and is there to only show the way the doors open. Suicide doors are on both sides. The dash and interior of this one is much more deluxe.

Here's an update on the 1951 Sedanette that turned out to be a 50 that was customized. Appears the fellers over on the HAMB think it was the deal of the lifetime. HAMB
