He's never been able to post the ads or give an address to it. Kind of a shame. Some of the guys here have bird dogged for him and found the address. Be nice if he could learn how to copy and paste.

I think it ought to be a sin to post these where I can see them. The pain is almost unbearable.

That dashboard is to die for. It would look really good in my DeSoto!

I could be all wet but the price seems fair enough.

These are a nice car. Stick shift is on the floor, Hydraulic brakes, and decent looking.

What in the world do you make of that ad? He has too many projects, but will trade for another one!

That’s really something. Amazing condition.

You’d need a better imagination than mine to see a speedster in that thing.

This would have looked great with a bubble top.

I know when I got mine I was warned to keep a spare belt under the seat. It was still there when I sold it. I was a motor head so maybe I kept an eye on it.

I thought the U.S. had a vehicle just like that built on a Jeep drive train. Would this be a lend lease vehicle?

Never had a belt break or go bad on mine. I think bad idler pulleys were probably the cause of belt problems.
I really like these cars never had an issue with one trying to roll.-

Back in the late sixties we had one of the sedans like this traded into our Toyota dealership. I just couldn't cozy up to it. It smoked and made funny noises. They weren't very big either. Now I'm thinking it would be kind of neat to own one.

How do these cars steer in a parking lot? They are a big car and don't have power steering.

Don't you just hate people who can do things like that? 😉

Wasn't it Elon Musk's grandpa the creator of the Tucker? Or is that just a rumor?

I wonder about wood in the body....
I'm not sure there is any wood in the body except for the floor boards and roof which shouldn't be hard to replace. I can't remember for sure when Chrysler products went to all metal but I think it was around 1928.

That's a long ad but after reading I believe the seller to be someone a buyer could trust. It's also also a car that could be purchased and driven for a long time and enjoyed. Tough to beat these Buicks for a cross country trip.

This is something that doesn't show up very often. Are they really worth the asking price in this condition.

With all due respect to those who have to worry about the gas mileage their collector car gets, maybe a different hobby would be a consideration.

- 20.5 l/100km
- 13.8 mpg (imp.)
- 11.5 mpg (U.S.)
That's a lot better than my 30 DeSoto was getting. Haven't checked it in a long time.

If I was younger this would be hard to pass up. Just hope it hasn't been setting outside very long.

I don't know what that thing gets for mileage but it sure looks nice.

If everything is as the ad states this is a good deal.

These remind me of the Dodge Aspen in the way they present themselves.
