  1. What’s not to like here? Fortunately (or perhaps unfortunately?) I have garage space for just two old cars, so that keeps me grounded. The third lives in a nearby friend’s garage. Else, I’d have a warehouse full.
  2. Around 1987 or so, friend of mine in San Jose found a ‘56 or ‘57 Nomad - I have photos somewhere, it was in way better shape than this one. Original paint and interior. Was sitting in the seller’s backyard for eons. $300, or maybe it was $500? Took nothing for us to get it running and driving.
  3. @dsasaki - I was your Uncle George's roommate about - yikes - 40 years ago! We had many, many motorcycle adventures together. Two years ago (photos you posted), when I visited George, I put a note with my name and number on it in the car. If you don't buy it, I would like give it a good home. As to shipping, I will send you a private message and will refer you to a couple of trustable, old car transporters.
  4. My most recent +old+ adventure, a 1912 model 43. My prior oldest car is a '32 Pierce, so this Buick is a different beast. Starting with the easier stuff - polishing nickel 😁.
  5. The exterior photos would be better if not for the sun glare. Really sharp car. Current bid $21K. More photos on the auction listing below. https://autohunter.com/Listing/Details/50381102/1934-PLYMOUTH-DELUXE-BUSINESS-COUPE OVERVIEW This 1934 Plymouth Deluxe Business Coupe is powered by a 201cid flathead I6 backed by an All-Silent three-speed manual transmission.

Finished in gray metallic over a tan cloth interior, this Plymouth comes with original paperwork and a clear title. EXTERIOR – FEATURES According to the seller, the gray metallic Safety-Steel body is rust-free, has been refinished only once in the vehicle’s lifetime, and comes with its original chrome trim.

UNDERCARRIAGE This Plymouth was factory-equipped with an independent front suspension and a solid rear drive axle. Braking is provided by manual hydraulic drums. A single exhaust system exits at the rear. ADDITIONAL DETAILS Original paperwork will come with the purchase of the vehicle.
  6. The Brown, Tan, Pale Yellow combo. Nothing dates when an old car was painted more than these colors.
  7. Damn! If I’d only known about this car years ago, I had a pair of suede platform shoes that would’ve matched this car’s interior perfectly.
  8. Cool hood, grille and instrument panel. Lotta style 😎
  9. Nice looking. Even if the color is year-correct, I call it +Baby Sh** Beige+. I suppose Buick had a fancier name for it back then. This car was for sale at least a year ago. Maybe $70K for a Roadmaster - the best one I the world, but not the one level-down Super. $70K can buy a very, very nice ‘41 Cad convertible coupe, Full Classic. I know, I sold mine just under that $ some months ago.
  10. National Highways Association mascot and a new, old stock NHA grille badge. The flags on the badge are cloisonné. https://highways.dot.gov/highway-history/general-highway-history/good-roads-everywhere-charles-henry-davis-and-national
  11. This is the tallest mascot I’ve ever seen. 10.25” to the top of the hoop. So cool!
  12. I like Airflows. Adding to my list of old car wants. Interior is nice, especially for having been done may years ago. Price may be a tad high, but if it’s turnkey, then that’s worth a lot of $ in reduced mental and financial anxiety.
  13. I like it. Why’s this stuff always at the other end of the planet?
  14. These Buicks had all the fancy doo-dads, didn’t they? I’d take off the rear seat cover and reinforce the material from the back side. Undercarriage looks very clean, too. I realize it’s a 4D HT, but seems like fair money for a nice car.
  15. Yup, this car +was original+ at one time. Nevertheless, I wouldn’t mind having one in my garage. Decades newer than the stuff I look for, but it’s tempting.
  16. Here’s one that I’ve had for years. Restored. Bought it from a guy that used to come to meets in the Boston area. He was from Quebec. He had a lot of cool stuff. The back is marked “Copyright V Aronson”. Under the wooden base it’s written 1917-1919.
  17. Even as a +mobile house of questionable repute+? This could be the first one ever.
  18. Let’s hear your business opportunities for this one. I’ll start… mobile bordello
  19. Even if it is a club sedan, ‘33 90 series clubby is a pretty uncommon car.
  20. Angled grille. Front fender shape. A ‘37 or ‘38 115. Perhaps a 120?
  21. Photos sure look nice. Doesn’t seem like a lot of dough for this car. We see total garbage with higher asking prices.
