Is this the same one that was $12k a few weeks ago?

Is an AMERICAN 440. Seller can't read the script on the fender I guess. That "440" is the trim level, not the engine size. Looks like a crappy "restoration" at some point. They didn't bother to reinstall any of the exterior moldings. Still a rare car but worth less than an Ambassador and certainly not a stellar example. They'd have to knock 10k off the price to get to a decent starting point.

He must have been getting too many "I'll take it for asking price" emails and surmised he was too low.

Can anyone shed some light on the transmission function? I don't see a shift lever but do see a clutch pedal.

I think he typed an extra zero on the price there!

Both paint and seats look too "fresh" to be original, but maybe. ... Trunk is hideous and would be the first thing to go. What's it worth in this condition?

Anyone seen tires like this before? They have two grooves cut around the outer whitewalls to make "stripes". Nice touch and I bet they are really old. Color is loud and likely not correct, but I'd rather have this than some horrible light blue or baby poop green like many of them are.

He can't spell "manual" either. All that being said I don't recall seeing a Chrysler of this vintage in a 2 door body. Nice looking. And the price isn't horrible. Someone might get a deal if they check it out in person.

This definitely appears to be a 1930, not a 1931. Different model numbers and beltline styling. Interior was "restored" incorrectly from original. Gotta be a low production body style.

Gorgeous interior. Whoever did it is to be commended. So many are done "wrong". Almost looks factory. But too fresh to be. Can't tell if lower paint color is faded red or salmon pink.

Deals like that never last 24 hours. Could have easily asked double ($10k) to start. Someone got a really nice car for 5k or less.

Looks like it was pretty nicely restored at some point. Definitely a good buy. These deals are never close to me!

Nicest looking year for Buick in the 30's! Looks like a nice example of Buick's entry level 1933 model.

Ambitious project but I've seen a lot worse for a lot more money!

High point of Rambler styling IMO ('65-66). Car looks very straight. Potentially original paint. See dealer sticker on rear body. Based on lack of interior wear, I believe mileage. However, its a 6 cylinder Rambler sedan. Not going to command big money. If detailed up and turn key ready to go, might get 9k for it, but not as it sits. Probably needs carb rebuild.

How has this not sold yet? A '56 New Yorker is THE 1950's Chrysler/Mopar wagon to have. Best looking and best built.

How long was this on the market? (I'm guessing under 12 hours) Ad already deleted. Someone got a steal!

Paint is most certainly not original and striping is an incorrect pattern. There should be no striping on the fenders. Interior looks original and is in excellent condition. This is a late '31 with the single bar bumpers. Looks like a decent car. Hopefully it has not sat dormant too many years. Price is about $10K optimistic though.

Believe interior is close to correct. The '31 Deluxe Tudor was one of the few Model A's you could get with a green mohair interior. Color looks a bit lighter/brighter than stock but close to how it would have looked originally.

And not just brown but this particularly gross shade of medium brown. Combined with gross flesh colored tan. There are some nice browns but these are not among them. I swear they had a fire sale on these two colors of paint in the '80's. "When in doubt, paint it black!"

Sometimes Facebook ads do not display for weeks or months. I have run into this several times. So potential buyers may not have seen this ad until recently. Hence why it wasn't seen or posted here until today. Facebook Marketplace is terrible, but unfortunately, that is where much of "the action" is now!

Interesting! I think the Briggs body is nicer looking overall, including the roof treatment. But the rear hinged front doors on the Hudson body are a big plus. Looks like the doors on the Hudson body are longer as well for easier entry.

Facebook down? Just pulled this ad up right now. Seems to be working fine.

Hard to say without seeing in the flesh. One issue is: was it well prepped for paint? If not, the paint could easily peel off or the roughness underneath from the deteriorated prior paint job could be showing through the new topccoat. Assuming it was prepped well and the issue is just the spraying of the new paint (looks like it was applied "dry" and rather rough finish), if there is a thick enough film of new paint a careful sanding and polishing could improve the texture and bring out some shine. Based on the photos it may have been applied in too thin a coat to do much sanding. In general, a marginal finished product like this indicates a less than stellar prep job was likely done, although again an in person inspection is probably the only way to make a determination.

Did Hudson offer both body options? Sounds like a potential minus to me (much wood in the body). How can the different bodies be visually ID'd? Neat car but a lot of unknowns. Not a fan of the single sidemount and that billboard cover would be the first thing to go. Beautiful interior design on the hardware.
