What a beautiful 1973 Riviera. One of our family friends had one of these and I remember riding in it when I was 13 (in '73.) I have always loved these cars. Thanks for posting the picture. Greg

Beautiful automobile!

joelj, Thanks for sharing your automobiles, they are beautiful!

Robuick46, Ihr Auto ist einfach Wonderschoen! In welchem Teil Deutschlands bist du? Ich hoffe, das Sie Ihr Auto in Ordnung bringen, damit Sie viele Stunden Freude am Fahren haben. Tschuss! Greg

Century Eight, We have a very active antique car community here in Lexington, you just have to know where to look! Seriously, the next time you are in town look up some of the Antique Car Clubs in Lexington and they list their events. In the Spring, Summer and Fall you will find several events in which to participate. The third weekend in July each year we have the Keeneland Concours event at our horse racing track, Keeneland. Truly spectacular event! Thanks.

kgreen, I will post some interior photos soon.

Thanks Keith. I purchased it in October of 2022 from a Buick collector who had it since 1977. He bought it from the original owner who bought it new in 1950. It had 33,000 original miles when I bought it. It is Carlsbad Black with dark green leather interior and a tan convertible top. Numbers matching, body tag is correct with exterior paint, interior and all accessories. She is an absolute pleasure to drive!

Hometown Buick is the best site I have ever seen on 1950's era Buicks. Thanks for giving us advance notice of the sale of your items. Greg

Thanks Mudbone.

Hello! How does one post a picture on the forum? I would very much like to post and share a picture of my Buick I recently acquired. Thanks in advance for the help! Greg

Thanks to everyone for your replies. I'll let y'all know if I find what I'm looking for. To clarify, I am not looking for the clear vinyl ones but rather the basic fabric ones. I more than likely will go to a local automotive upholstery shop to see if they can make what I am looking for. To g-g-gO, definitely remember Western Auto stores from my childhood...cool stores. Miss places like that... Regards.

Thanks for the reply. I have heard of SMS Fabrics but I only thought of them for fabric to use for reupholstering automobile seats. I am looking for seatcovers that go over seats that have already been reupholstered just like folks did back in the day when they bought a new car, they covered the seats immediately. I think it might have been a dealer add on? Thanks.

Good Afternoon. Is there a vendor that supplies the seat covers that folks used to put on their automobile seats in the late 1940's through the late 1950's? I am specifically looking for era appropriate seat covers for a 1949 Buick Super Sedanet. Thanks in advance for any advice.

MrEarl, Thank you for revisiting this post and for sharing all the new pics. I really enjoy all of your insight and knowledge about Buicks. Your 54 Century is simply beautiful! The 1954 model year means a lot to me as it was the year my parents were married in Birmingham, Alabama. Regards, Greg

buick man, Where did you get the photo on your signature of the man, the little boy and the dog? Is that a Buick ad? What a fantastic picture! Thanks.

lancemb, The FB Marketplace states it is in Stanton, KY. Stanton is about 45 miles southeast of Lexington, KY. Thanks.

Chris, I am just now seeing your post. What an absolutely gorgeous car! Thanks for sharing the photos. Greg

These are fantastic. Thanks for sharing!

Matt, Mr. Earl, Yes, that is the car (Sequoia Cream) that came through Lexington, KY for an overnight in the Great Race. It was in the early 90's. The Great Race is coming through Lexington next summer and will overnight here as well. I wonder how many Buicks will be a part of the race? I just joined the Buick Club of America today. I don't see a chapter near here but I am finding some Kentucky folks on this site. Looking forward to meeting some of the local Buick folks in and around Lexington, KY. I currently do not have an antique Buick but had a 1950 Super Dynaflow Sedanet but sold it several years ago. Thanks, Greg

Matt, Thanks for posting pictures of your car. My uncle purchased a 1937 Roadmaster Model 80C in the early 1950's in Jackson, Mississippi. His car was originally black but he had it painted a very similar color to yours. While he was in the Army in Germany for 4 years my parents "babysat" the car for him. They had a ball driving the car during that time and have many stories about their adventures. They took it on many road trips. In late 1959 early 1960 my uncle returned from overseas and ended up selling it in Mt. Vernon, Illinois to a Volkswagen dealer. I have often wondered where that car is now. Several years ago The Great Race came through my town (Lexington, Kentucky) and one of the cars was a 1937 Roadmaster Model 80C very similar to yours. I got to meet the owner and he showed me his car. He was from Chattanooga, Tennessee. Thanks again for sharing your car. Greg
