The grille is too small and dainty looking. It’s as if the grille belongs on a much smaller car. How it ever made it past the drawing board is a mystery to me.

I’ve never been able to get past the aesthetic of the ‘39 Buick grille. Before or after, sure. ‘39, not so much. 😖

That car deserves to be saved but with a wood frame, a wood body and wood wheels could be a HUGE money pit! I was in the business of restoring wood composite bodies for most of 25 years and I even built a frame for a 1923 Franklin once. You couldn't run fast enough to give me that car, one can only hope that besides the top ribs the wood is all good. Here is one of my projects from years ago.
Precisely what the seller means by “runs”. Wants to see how fast buyin’ fools can run to get outta there.

Friend of mine has one of these, with a Chevy small block, I think. Brought it with him over fifty years ago when he moved to Calif from CT. Hasn’t seen the light of day since. There it sits. I put a post-it note with my name on it. .

The suicide part comes after the sad realization that ya’ actually paid $6-large for this rust molecule collection.

@Leif in Calif, how can you say ‘nice example’ and ‘Pinto’ within 24 hours of each other? Bite yer tongue!
I had a ‘73. Suffice to say it was a colossal sh*tbox. Automatic transmission, the dipstick tube was right next to the exhaust manifold to down pipe connection. The asbestos gasket had deteriorated in the connection. On a hard stop, the dipstick would pop-up, the trans fluid would splash out right into the missing gasket space in the exhaust. Flames shooting out of the hood. I carried a fire extinguisher at the ready. Oh, and I subsequently had the only Pinto in existence with Hedman headers and a Turbo muffler. Problem solved… that one, anyway.

Pretty neat! I like uncommon, oddball cars. What’s the story on the Marquette? Where did it fall in the Buick range price-wise? Was the flathead engine sourced from another GM division? Buick had overhead valve by 1930, no?

5K original miles? Crazy. If I still lived in L.A. I’d be waving $ in the seller’s face.

This Buick, same seller, has been listed on HCCA classifieds for quite some time.

Izzat the fuel tank or a refrigerated beer keg in the engine compartment?
I think this vehicle would be more fun with an engine at both ends.

What do you think about the price?
I’ll offer my opinion, which with that and $7 will buy you a Starbuck’s. I don’t think the price is far out of line, +IF+ the car needs nothing more than a tank of gas and the key. That said, it’s not likely to be the case. I would consider setting aside at least $20K for who knows what? You’ll spend that, trust me. If the drivetrain isn’t 100%, thoroughly checked out, $20K won’t even get you out of the gate. An engine overhaul on this car will set you back $50-large with a lengthy wait for the right shop to do it. Five-grand just to do the carburetors correctly.
If none of this puts you off, check the car out in person. It’s mandatory. Take someone knowledgeable about these V16’s to accompany you. Pay their way if need be. You’ll be glad you did.

I’m in looooove 😍 with this car. I don’t know what the true value is, but seems awfully reasonable to me. Gotta be $40K worth of nickel plating, alone

I like this! Who saves every piece of paperwork from a new car purchase - for 70 years? Icing on the cake.
2.5 hours to New Haven… must. resist. temptation.

These are terrific tour cars - I had one, body number 28, some years ago. The interior in this one is nice, although the clock on back of the front seat is missing. The top isn’t the greatest and there are lots of details that would be expensive to remedy. The undercarriage looks a bit suspicious to me, as if some of it has been undercoated. The hood fitment is funky. The dash paint is not so hot. Honestly, I don’t think the price is crazy out of line considering condition, a #3, from what I see. The realistic number, IMO, is $40’s, to perhaps $50K, tops. The two most recent sales of these, one that belonged to a friend, and his was definitely a way better car, sold for $98K. My old one sold maybe three years back, at auction, for around the same money.

Sometimes, cars that get posted to this list are very interesting. Some are realistically priced while others are in Fantasyland. This car is especially interesting, because the seller omitted the fact that JFK may have actually porked Jackie - or countless others in the back seat. Who can put a price on historically significant provenance such as that?
As to the asking price? So what if it’s $130K over the money. Any takers?

Regardless of what the seller states, this car is non-CCCA Full Classic. Only y he Custom Super Clipper, model 2106 five passenger and 2126 seven passenger , are Full Classic.

Please post some better photos and asking price.

The ad says Orange County. Considering that the Magic Kingdom is in Anaheim, the seller must reside in Fantasyland if they think that thing’s worth $15-large. 🤦♂️
