    Jake ,    it is kind of cool to see the progression Buick made over the years. Many times I have sat down  in my office and spread these out and spent some great hours reading through them.

     

    the man I bought these from started picking them up at a dealership here in Iowa every year from 1946 on. His father would take him there every year when he was too young to drive, so they could see the cars and he could get a new brochure. He still lives here, and retired from medicine many years ago, but still had the collection he started as a child. It was an honor to meet with him and learn of his life's path, and his love for these cars.

    there is quite a legacy with these, and it his my hope that they will be kept together as a collection and cherished.

  2. I have a complete white upholstery kit for a 65 Cat Custom Convertible. Seats, door covers, rear panels, fold down armrest, visors and rear boot. It was purchased for $1800 and installed in the car for 6 months, and removed when the original upholstery was replaced.

    its been boxed and stored for the last 6 years, all in very good condition and will look new when installed and cleaned up.

    $100 includes shipping

  3. I am going to start  moving some old items I have collected from David Buick.

    First item is the prototype Hi Power carburetor he manufactured when he started the David Dunbar Buick Carburetor company back in 1921. I have his carburetor, stamped # 1,  a typed letter to an investor about his company and goals signed by Thomas Buick, and the sales flyer and poster he had printed for advertising, and a stock certificate he issued.

    The carb is in a glass display case, and the related items are framed for display.

     

     

     

    This is a very rare item, and an opportunity to own an item actually designed, created and handled by David Buick.

    This carb was being created to sell to all manufacturers of automobiles as a way to achieve more HP and get better fuel mileage, until Durant stepped in and killed this dream.

    If interested, email me directly
