Pretty car, crazy price. Looks like they applied the ArmorAll with a spray gun.

I have never owned the EXACT same car twice but have owned the same make and model a number of times. 1955 Ford, 1963-4 Oldsmobile, 1969 Olds Cutlass, 1967 Plymouth GTX, 1995 Chevy 9C1 Caprice.

Not surprised, that was an amazing deal for the car pictured.

That's a pretty car but I agree the price seems dealer-type high. I have noticed that 1960 Buick asking prices seem to be going up which makes me happy since I own one, but I wonder what the actual sale prices really are.

My Dad drove one of these as a milkman for Urbandale Farms Dairy, Delavan, WI back in the mid 30s.

Wonderful. Clean it, fix the seats and drive it - a lot.

I always liked the 65-66 Sport Furies. IMO one of the very few cars that looks better with the factory fender skirts.

No Marauder scripts or ID on the 66s except the air cleaner. The sporty version was the S55 with buckets and console and emblems on the quarters. I came close to buying this one which had the 428 "Super Marauder".

Great car! Exterior photos?

Welcome! Buicks are very well represented here.

I came very close to buying one of these new in 1978. It was fully loaded, with the 400 engine and two tone burgundy paint, but I couldn't handle the payment. Two years later I bought a used 78 Olds 98 Regency with the 403, one of the best cars I ever owned.

Nice car at a good price - would be better with the optional 400 c.i. engine.

Here is ( I think - Steve Moskowitz can you chime in here and confirm? ) a 1933 Oldsmobile hood 0rnament. Die cast chrome plated. 4 1/2 high 10 1/2 long. And it just screams at me "FRAGILE" .
I am amazed that something like this has survived without being broken or seeing metal fatigue from age and show cracks . Just to remove it from the shell on the car one had to be careful.
Amazing find, '33 was still prime time for pot metal disease.

I used the VA Gen 4 in my 63 back in 2007. The stock radio would not clear but research back then showed just about any single DIN aftermarket head would. I used a Pioneer unit plus added gauges in the ashtray space and cut the VA controls into the console trim. I actually built a fake stock radio front to save the trim bezel but decided not to use it. Today I would not cut any original parts and would figure out a remote solution. That 63 was the last car I modified for a modern stereo.

Well you don't see one of those every day - pretty cool.

If it was a 427 4 speed car, MAYBE the price would be in the ballpark...

Welcome aboard, what a great car and a wonderful family history of ownership! I am looking forward to following your progress.

"Town Car" ???

Seems like a hell of a deal for a Reo ROYALE...

If that is a real M-code and it runs and drives that is a smoking deal - jump on it!

60 - 61 Starliner is high on my list, plus all the R-code 427 Galaxies.

Here are some photos of my 63 showing the passenger door installed with skin removed. The car was all original with good panel alignment so the relationship of the skin mounting points to the rocker, quarter and front fender may be of some help. Realistically I do think you will probably have to mount the door and adjust then add the skin to check alignment and you may have to repeat the process before you are done.

I was told a 2 1/2" wide whitewall was correct.
