If I had not filled up my garage with other less substantial vehicles then I would be very interested as this model is a very rare and extremely beautiful vehicle when finished. Even having this magnificent car in its current "AS-IS" condition sitting in a garage gives instant credibility to the owner. Just having one (in any condition) makes even the most high brow collector turn his head and ask questions. What is the cost to bring it over to US ?

Not sure that the bling on the rear fender was factory. I have a 1934 Nash (144 inch wheelbase) and have seen in person the blue 1934 coupe that has been FOR SALE for about 3 years out of Loomis CA. The only car for 1934 Nash that I have seen with the rear fender "bling" was the one photographed in this post. Attractive "streamlining car" designed by a Russian Count from Kiev, so you might say it is a Ukrainian Count. "Count Alexis de Sakhnoffsky". Great name for a vampire movie. This man also designed the famous "LaBatt's truck" from the 1940s. This man also designed a famous 1929 L-29 CORD that is still around.

Sadly every vehicle I have seen where the body was "shot" had an equal crappy engine that was missing many parts. I knew a n old dowager about 5 years ago in Kansas area that had 6 Lincoln K engines and parts galore. Found her in Hemmings Motor News. Not sure what happened to those engines and parts. They were for the years 1936, 1937 and 1938 and all "K" cars.

Over the years I have had two 1937 Lincoln K Judkins coach built 3-window sedans and a 1938 Factory sedan. Very rare and magnificent machines that cost alot of money new which is partly why they made so few. My 12V engines always ran hot. There is more wood in these cars than a small forest. Everything on these vehicles including the brass bumper guards is high quality. Due to the weight I needed to spend some serious man power turning the steering wheel at slow turns and with parking. I made the mistake of driving down a hill in Calabasas California with 4 kids in the back seat and a friend in the front passenger seat. I was standing on the brakes with my 210 pound frame I could not stop. The car ran a stop sign. I rarely pray that profusely but I was praying hard for about 20 seconds that day. The cars at the bottom of the hill could not hear the horns as the horns in these vehicles are muffled. No accident but the female driver of a late model Toyota Highlander had a scare and a story to tell her husband when she got home. Almost all these behemoths had a registered and licensed chauffeur. These vehicles get many admirers when driven. I have yet to see one ever modified into a "Hotrod" or restorod.

Seems like some conspiracy as to the cars made in 1938. Did some executives meet in some hidden location and agree to have most all the car manufacturers agree to have the bustle back trunks for the 1938 sedans?

The wood grain job on Jacques vehicle is an excellent example of a high quality wood grain. I am curious as to how many hours was invested to get that wood grain done to such a high quality?

I have used the site: http://www.classiccardatabase.com/index.php . It does not have every detail but what is in the website is still sizable and in my opinion a useful tool. I go to the site about once a week.

Looks like a car that Laurel & Hardy would drive.

Very funny!!!

Appears fishy. Does not pass the smell test.

Bright work looks excellent.

Attractive vehicle.

$28,000 would not be sufficient coin to restoration this vehicle if it was in rough condition. To pay $28,000 for a fully restored 1933 Buick sedan is reasonable.

Had no idea the prices these tractors could fetch. I have a new appreciation of these vehicles.

GM had an option to have artillery wheels chromed in 1933. I assume that Chrysler did the same.

Power steering?

I prayer that legislators in California where I live do not read this article about London.

Pictures ???

Judkins made some beautiful bodies for Lincoln. Jay Leno needs to add this example to his collection.

Appears to have been in a fire accident. If yes the metal may have been compromised where it is brittle. The particular model is a beautiful car when restored.

That sunroof cord is "smoking" hot. The paint job does not appear stock but very attractive.

I spoke to the owner 2+ years past, a fellow about 84+ now assuming he is still shaking the trees at his age. He had it at auction but the high BID did not make the "reserve". I think he still owns this car. The color is correct as I have an Ambassador Sedan Model 1297 LWB at 144 inch that is the same color. A littler more than two years ago at the auction I did not see a problem with the springs. The restoration was by the owner himself. The car was in great shape and drove well. A very rare car but not concourse. Sometimes it is very difficult to let a car go when you have so many hours and decades of your life invested in restoring the car. Sadly none of his many children are old car enthusiasts so he has no offspring to pass on this lovely car. Now for me I purchased not one but five 1933 Buick cars just because they remind me of my Dad who owned a 1933 Victoria Coupe since after WW2 when he needed a cheap ride to go back & forth to University on the GI Bill. Every time I see an image of a 1933 Buick I think fond memories of my Dad. If I had the $$$$$ I would have purchased a B- 26 Martin Marauder because that was the plane my Dad flew in WW2.

The STING had plenty of 1930s cars. The "Bad Guys" rode in a blue 1934 Pierce Arrow.

Stop kicking yourself. There is still a 1934 Coupe for sale I think in Loomis California.

The good old days when walking down a crowded NY City street meant that you smelled or choked on exhaust fumes from hundreds of cars and trucks. Wait! That would be the good current days.
