Check out Amusa's forum posts. Nothing but comments and never old car questions or answers. He doesn't seem to be interested in contributing to any of the threads he's posted to, just lip service. I'd stay away from any further contact.

My grade school buddy's parents bought a twin to this Windsor back in '56. The most unusual thing I remember about the car was the metal inside B pillar covers painted to match the dash and window frames. Every other car I had seen had upholstered covers. Oh, yeah, and the push-button transmission selector was neat..

It could be an old military vehicle, or a battle scared taco truck.

Looks like somebody torched out the headlights. Good luck finding replacement fenders.

"Yard Art" in my opinion... But not in MY yard!

Nice looking Buick. Should be the aluminum V-8, right? Are they something to stay away from? Specific common concerns? Worse than a '63 Chevy V-8? Even with a rebuild, you wouldn't be in it too deep, IMO.

I wonder why someone would change the running gear or wheelbase (frame) and keep the original old engine?

That was taken in Manito Park, Japanese Garden section, in Spokane, WA.

Still not up yet?? (6 weeks later)

...or for the old farts, who were there to see the old marque crash and burn, to die off, and take the memory with them.

100 year old original paint ??

Wow. The seller could have bought a real car for $28k 14 years ago and not lost his pants on this one.

Is there someone on this forum who can explain why a '59 Dynamic 88 Olds should have a value about twice that of a '59 Buick Invicta convertible? What could possibly cause such a discrepancy? Personally, given the choice, I'd take a Buick, and not just because of the value differential. Compare the values below--- Here are the JD Power values for this Olds: (the only option box checked was for auto. trans.) Base Price$3,286 Options$0 Original MSRP $3,286 Base Price$18,300 Options$1,830 Low Retail $20,130 Base Price$49,200 Options$4,920 Average Retail $54,120 Base Price$90,000 Options$9,000 High Retail $99,000 These are the values of a comparable 1959 Buick Invicta convertible: (no option boxes available to check) Base Price$3,620 Options$0 Original MSRP $3,620 Base Price$12,500 Options$0 Low Retail $12,500 Base Price$27,800 Options$0 Average Retail $27,800 Base Price$49,300 Options$0 High Retail

I'm happy you spotted this scam. I edited the OP accordingly. Colorado plates not shown in scam ad.

Looks like every taxi in every late '30's movie. "Where to, sir?". Neat.

It looks to me like it might be part of a Rube Goldberg Machine toy. Probably circa WWll, pre-plastic when most toys were made from tin.

I have an off-brand borescope that I have used for the last few years. It has a video screen, camera and light all powered by a small rechargeable battery. I would not know how one would function without a power source. (electric cord, fiber optics??). Battery power provides great portability and no requirement for an additional light or power source, and can be used anywhere. There are many inexpensive but highly rated borescopes available, depending on what your applications or needs are.

Welcome to the 21st century. I bought running, reliable "daily driver" flathead Fords for school transportation all through the '60's for $100. or less. Things have changed!

A nice looking car...but I have a couple of questions: Is the air cleaner shown a stock Packard item? Sure looks like a Cadillac or Oldsmobile item of about the same time period. The gas filler tube appears to fill into the bottom half of the gas tank. If that's the case, how do you get a full tank of gas? Maybe i'm seeing it wrong.

All that's missing are the five foot long "cruiser" fender skirts and, maybe, the fuzzy dice.

You could probably load all the salvageable parts into a suitcase and claim it as carry-on.

Guessing SCAM...

Maybe the seller has the same problem. Can't take time to properly photograph or describe this project Packard. A real pig in a poke.
