Thanks MC Hinson. Ken

39 Buick, I did a search for "four door convertibles" and didn't see anything. Love to read the other threads. Can you share the search term please?

I should have used my name, sorry I didn't introduce myself - Ken.

Being a holdover for the open bodied car is a very good point. What other ideas were on that guys mind in the 30's when he bought that car?

Larry, I mean who in 1940 would have bought that vehicle. It's not sporty, could hold a family and possibly only a few of them would be chauffeur driven. But even that is a guess. If you could stereo-type: The banker bought the Buick, the farmer bought the Ford. The wealthy single guy bought the 2-door coupe, the family man with more than two kids bought a four-door hardtop.

Who was the typical buyer for a new, pre-war 4-door convertible? These cars were low production units and generally phased out in 1940, except for Lincoln that made on in the early 60's.

Here's to a thumbs up. Great production on the video, loved the music on the drive. Good luck with it!

They look to be in too good of shape to cut up. Darn. Have you called Doug Seybold over in Cleveland? Doug Seybold Restoration Specialists2761 Clark ParkwayWestlake, Ohio 44145440-835-1193

Hurricane Mathew headed your way, get that beautiful machine to high ground!!

I had two doors for a 41 ford pickup shipped from Boston area to Atlanta for $100 total. They went greyhound. Give'em a call.

Matt: Thanks for your feedback, I see several Century convertibles for sale and your wheelbase measurement idea is grand. Thanks for your help. Nice company website BTW. Ken

I fuly understand the restoration would have alot to do with the value. I like the Roadmaster as well, just wondering if the Century was more desirable. Thanks for taking the time to reply.

I'm looking at two convertible 1941 Buicks, one is a Century (4-door) the other is the Roadmaster (2-door). Both cars are complete but in need of restoration, bodies are fine with minimal rust in the usual places. The cost to restore either one of them could be about equal, but expensive. Which is the more valuable car when restored? The big engine small body Century or the big body, big engine Roadmaster.

Wow, first post! I specifically joined this forum to submit the above thread. My first car was a 40 series 1940 Buick. I loved that car and have recently wanted another. I got stuck on Fords lately as they are a lot less expensive to restore. Someday I may get my Buick...

http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=863325 Perusing another forum and ran in to the above post. This guy found what is reported to be a '26 Buick that looks absolutely restorable as it is very complete. I'm alerting Buick owners to a potential opportunity to save a Buick rather than see it chopped and modded in the hands of others. This is not my car, I am not an agent, this car would be in better hands here than on the jalopyjournal forum. The guy already confessed to having too many other projects, can an avid Buick enthusiast pry this car loose?
