Maybe Fatty Arbuckle owned the car when new and that is why the price is so high? Or maybe the seller is just "high"?

The 1934 Nash had those streamlines and such a beautiful grill.

I saw this car for sale about 20 years ago or more than 20 years ago with either EBay or the Volo Museum. It looks exactly the same.

The advertisement says Imperial. The vehicle is not an Imperial Roadster.

How has the myriad of classic car collections in South Florida made out in this tragedy? I assume in the coming days we will see more stories of destruction.

The ground looking up car photos are always placing the vehicle in a more favorable light.

I have one 90 series 7 passenger sedan but in much need of repair and the interior is gone, but very cheap. Would make a good parts car as chassis is in good shape.

That 1929 CORD (designed by a Ukrainian Count) is to me the pinnacle of rolling art.

Cant understand why Packard with such style (like the one on this thread) and history with the high-end customer base fell apart after WW2 and failed to design models of their vehicles that could compete with GM? Was it the superior R&D and tech of the competition that killed off Packard?

My thoughts are as follows: The US Dollar is worth now about 65% of what it was worth a few years past. In the future the dollar's value will likely sink further due to inflation. Hence, $4,500 is not what is used to be. $4,500 back a few years ago is more like $5,500 today as everything is higher. I believe that the car which appears to have been taken care of in a humid area STATE (unlike Arizona or CA) has a value much higher than $4,500 and that takes into consideration that it is a base "Special".

Advice as follows: [1] have the car detailed (not just washed) including polishing the bright work; [2] have a mechanic look the engine over and get it running (Russians and Former Soviet Union are the best and they are also usually cheaper than others); [3] remove the car outside in the sun and take many images; and lastly [4] since the old car market is not what it used to be do not be saddened by the fact that the car likley will not fetch what it may have sold for 15 years ago. Nice car as it looks complete and 2-doors are always more desirable.

So all LaSalle vehicles are now full classics? Even the less priced models from the late 1930s? I thought only some of the models were in this category, much like with Buick and the Model 80s and 90s from 1933.

Black does appear classy. However, with global warming do we need more black?

Very neat and clean. Well maintained. Engine appears so clean that it is somewhat too clean.

The color? What description was that color called by BUICK in 1932? I see many of the Buick 1932 and 1933 Models with this burgundy color. Wheelbase for that model? Pretty vehicle and for $12,000 the asking price is a good deal.

This vehicle will sell. The parts appear to be in good shape. Due to year and model it may however end up as a flashy street ROD. Umm, flashy street ROD vs. deteriorating yard art or a total restoration? ODDS to me are on the street ROD.

Super to know that someone over age 80 do these projects. At age 60 I just hope that I can have the energy to take on these tasks at age 80.

The small hood doors including the tiny chrome spear pull-outs appear exactly as with the 1933 Buick models. Did manufacturers steal designs from each other?

Looks new. Just wish it was a different model for a different year.

A neat car to admire today at a time when few people are aware that a manufacturer was at one time even named Nash. However, in my younger days I would not be as appreciative of the body style of this vehicle for sale. I prefer the 1932, 1933, and 1934 models. The price offered at $12,000 appears very releasable for a vehicle that appears to be dent free and has what appears to be good bright-work. What can you buy today for $12,000 ? At the rate of inflation these days $12,000 will soon be worth $1,200 and my retirement age will have to be re-calculated to 98 years old. The good news is that I can't afford to die before I retire.

For Buick worse year was 1933 as the brand almost was closed. Worse year but for that model year they had 38 different models the 1933 Buick.

The cost to gather up the parts and transport them with $7.00 a gallon diesel fuel would be a pretty penny. In fact it would be likely more than 250,000 to $3,000 pretty pennies. At 145 pennies to equal a pound that comes out to about 1,725 pounds if 250,000 copper pennies. You would need some muscles to get all those pennies to the shipping company.

Another example of the local government enforcing their power on some unfortunate homeowner. Sadly this poor soul may end up homeless once the City gets their hands on his property.

My behemoth 1937 Lincoln K at over 6,000 pounds with a V12 got about 6 MPG (assuming no hills). In LA where gasoline is now over $7.30 a gallon that makes a trip to the local "Mart" about $30. These crazy gas prices are not doing the vintage car business any favors.

In case anyone has an old Motor Automobile Business Magazine I am missing the August 1933 edition. It was a trade magazine for the car industry. Cost new was $0.50. I would be happy to pay $20 plus shipping if anyone had an old complete copy.
