I don't know anything about this other than what's in the article.

I don't think so.
Davis Buick became Shannon Buick. In about 1984/85, the Shannon brothers sold to Eugene Reichart. Gene and his son still own the store, Reichart Buick on Main street in Dayton. It is on the west side of I-75.
Bob Ross used to own the Buickstore in Richmond Indiana. He bought the Buick store in Centerville, Ohio in 1979 and sold the store in Richmond, In. Bob ran the Buick store in Centerville until his passing about 20 years ago. His daughter Janelle now runs that operation.
I bought a new '80 Buick at Davis Buick in Centerville after they had moved from Dayton. Shortly thereafter they became Bob Ross Buick. Shannon Buick was in business in the fifties, at least by 1951, so Davis Buick did not become Shannon Buick. Reichart (sic) Buick (formerly Shannon) is on Salem Avenue. It never was on Main St. You better go back and study-up.

I believe they were in business until around 1980. They had moved from that S. Main Street location and became Bob Ross Buick, which is still in operation.

Mustang pictured is a '67.

Pictured is a Super, not a Special.

1950 model. These have enclosed gas caps. The '49 model had an exposed gas cap.

The image shown of the car for sale is a '58 Rambler.

Chevrolet referred to the Two Ten (Model 1011) 2 door as a sedan. They called the Two Ten "Delray" (Model 1011a) a coupe. It was the same body. The difference was a Delray had a special vinyl interior, carpeting, and different headliner.

Is the roofline different on the 2 door hardtop compared to the 2 door sedan?
Roofline is also lower on the hardtop and uses a different windshield.

I think you parked next to a Chrysler 300.

No. My father bought a '60 Dodge Dart new and it had a generator. I think the '60 Valiant was the only one that had an alternator.

OK, then I guess that means the name of the car is a Kaiser-Frazer Corp., including anything else that's stamped on the block.

For one thing, it's not a "Kaiser Frazer".

Not saying this is where the cars are located but the phone number comes up as the Clarkston, MI area.

I disagree. A '38 wouldn't have a back seat, anyway. If a person wanted additional seating in their '38 Ford coupe, he either bought a Club Coupe or a rumble seat coupe. It's not the issue of "business" being wrong, although in my opinion it is, and it's not the issue of it being misleading, it's simply using the word "business" too broadly. Someone mentioned "deck shelf" earlier in this discussion. I think that maybe they meant that because you could see a deck shelf, rather than a rear seat, it had to be a business coupe. I'm sorry, but that really isn't relevant to me. Maybe it would have been possible to order a coupe without a deck shelf, but what would that accomplish? There's still a spare tire back there.
So we agree. The description is not wrong or misleading. I have no problem interpreting the seller's description. Maybe some do. It's like Chevrolet using "Sport Coupe" for 2-door hardtop and "Sport Sedan" for 4-door hardtop. If a seller would describe a '62 Impala as a 2-door hardtop, I would know what body-style he had.

"Business Coupe" is a simple way to describe it has no back seat. A "Club Coupe" should have a back seat. I don't see anything wrong or misleading with this terminology.

I don't get blocking the plates either? In NYS your VIN is on the registration sticker why and what are they thinking?
In some of the automotive-related Facebook groups that I follow, license plates are regularly obscured in the photos posted. Then there are the postings on the subject "Show us your vanity plates", and the focus is on the license plate in the posted photo. Go figure.

I think some of the styling proposals for the Mark II actually look good. Obviously, some do not.

Why was "a used front seat out of a 53 2 dr sedan...." added? Was the seat missing, or something better about a '53 seat, or was it all that was available? Unfamiliar with Buicks and just curious.
-
The car pictured is a '41 Chevrolet, not a '48. The value would be similar though.

This was an option in the fifties (starting '50 or '51?) but I don't recall ever recall seeing a '48 or '49 sedan with factory leather. Door panels and headliner were not leather.
