Fabulous! The battery gag is my favorite.

Hey Earl, you need to get out more! 😄 Those steps are just how we get up and down the sidewalk here in SF. This system of parking is still used on some of our streets, and I always get a kick out of the signs that are used to indicate perpendicular parking. These signs are still used all over the city, despite the fact that the cars on the sign are clearly 30's or 40's models, split windshield and all!

Jack Benny's car found!!

Looking great, Gary. I'm so glad to see that you eliminated that hood gap problem before the end of the year -- now you can truly enjoy your New Year's celebration tonight! 😉 Thank you again for sharing this wonderful project with us.

Congratulations! Sounds great!

I love this post. A win-win-win!

Must have something to do with the seat folding up to extend the cargo area in back. Brackets to hold the seat back when it's folded down?

Not mine -- looks pretty solid and not a bad price. Elephant ears and factory skirts (with "unobtanium" factory stainless trim) are nice touch. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1941-Buick-50-Super-Convertible/233057372290?hash=item36434d4882:g:BN8AAOSwdZBcGwpq:rk:11:pf:0

Congratulations on your new purchase! Looks like everything is there -- although someone either swapped the engine at some point or at least removed the dual carb set-up. Please keep us informed when your car arrives in Sweden. What are your plans?

And here's what the mechanism looks like when you get it out of the door.

I have a '41 Super sedan -- exactly the same body as yours. I have had all my doors apart, and I removed, cleaned, and lubricated the window regulators. Of course, mine were working to begin with, so getting them out was probably a lot easier than your situation. Anyhow, you can see from the attached photo where the six screws are located that hold the regulator in place.

That is great news, Ken! Sounds like you've found a treasure trove of needed parts. I see that the bondo shop had decided to permanently blend the rear fenders into the body. 😯 What were they thinking? Oh well, it doesn't matter now.

Megaphone for shouting at other drivers? 😄

Looks like a fabulous car! You are a lucky man.

Fabulous car (and photographed in a very elegant setting)! Best of luck with the sale.

Joe, your patience and attention to detail is outstanding. The work on those heater fins pretty much sums it up! Neil

Sad news in Hemmings today, the passing of this wonderful modeler. https://www.hemmings.com/blog/2018/11/27/modeler-michael-paul-smith-permanently-moves-to-elgin-park-at-age-67/?refer=news

Great find, Matt. I have already followed your advice for my tail/brake lights and front and rear turn indicator lights. I will definitely be picking up some of these bulbs when I do my dashboard project. Thank you.

I don't know how concerned you are with authenticity, but since none of the sound-deadening material is going to show anyway, I just decided to go with a modern product. There are many choices, and it's very easy to use. Just cut it to fit, peel off the backing, stick it down, and use a roller to get a solid bond. A lot of people have had success with this Dynamat product: https://www.amazon.com/Dynamat-10455-Self-Adhesive-Deadener-Xtreme/dp/B00020CB2S/ref=sr_1_4?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1542669704&sr=1-4&keywords=dynamat+sound+deadener I found this alternative on Amazon that is less expensive, but has worked very well for me. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07786VRCL/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1&tag=viglink24581-20 Neil

Wow! Amazing find, Matt. Good luck with the sale.

I read that sign as saying Herb's used cars are "all square," not that all his cars are used. Or does the "square" mean something else?

I'm not so sure. That's what I thought at first, but then looked at it blown up. It looks like a couple of teenagers in a dancing pose. They are definitely growing out of her head -- maybe not a hat, just a scene from the Twilight Zone! ?

I'm no expert, but that is the way my 1941 Super 4-door is set up.

Great job on something that looks very tricky!
