Personally, I like the color. Buick called it Sequoiah Cream. This one seems possibly a bit brighter repaint than some originals

You're referring to the 1915-1922 ( if I can trust my memory) "Chevrolet 490", the sales price of $490 being slighty less than Ford's Model-T at the time - so Ford lowered their price in response. Buick's 40 Series was named "Special as of the 1936 model year, 50 became Super 60 was Century 80 (later 70) was Roadmaster 90 was Limited hope this helps

The date of the first street race was the day the second car came to town !

Very solid looking, and should be a fantastic driver, more in the mode of our '54 Caddy convertible. If I didn't have mine, I'd be looking at something like this.

While I prefer the style of the 1955, I've been told the 1956 Pontiac has the better engine. The color combination leaves me cold, but at some cost, that could be overcome for the right buyer. Seems decent otherwise - just not my cuppa'

Many A/C systems of this era had issues with leaks in the evaporator, requiring disassembly of the dash. They also suffered bad leaky vacuum hoses which directed the air to vents or ducted to the floor or defrosters, or just blocked all air flow, and then again, some of the GM Systems also employed the Hot Gas Bypass system and had other issues - I've been there. 134A compressor is a good idea, but 134A molecules are smaller than R-12, so all new hoses, as well as a larger condenser are also a good idea. Sometimes not as simple as we would hope!

I agree, and maybe for a "first" old car, this would be a solid entry to the pre-war part of the hobby. If I didn't have any cars, I would consider it.

Power Steering (pump) is evident in the top right corner of the engine bay picture- can't tell if power brakes but wouldn't bank on it- For a Full-sized Olds, this is a stripper - the most basic of basics The Dynamic 88 was a step DOWN from the (regular) 88, which itself was the standard model, and a "lesser" car than the "98" of big Buick Electra (think Roadmaster used-to-be) size. Lots of B...$h#t and flowery prose in the ad - but the car doesn't seem as "pure?" as claimed - rust areas, etc ...

Very valuable Item? Yeah - until they quit working and leave you locked out! They quit on our 1992 Grand Marquis back around the time the warranty expired ! They also quit on our 1995 Grand Marquis back around the time the warranty expired, and far, far too expensive to repair, especially since that car now seems to have developed an electrical parasitic drain - also very expensive to trace! They still work on our 2000 Excursion, but in the back of my mind, I just know that if I don't have a spare key in my pocket , the buttons will know, and will also quit.

Exterior Actual Keyed door locks, especially on Passenger side, and maybe the Tailgate. While my '02 Suburban has it, my daughter-in law's '05 Trailblazer, my daughter's '04 Tahoe, and my son's '07 Yukon don't have one on the passenger door. This came to light one day when the '05 Trailblazer's remote Key Fob battery went out. The remote Key Fob would not unlock the door -- OK - so use the Actual Ignition/Steering Column Unlock "metal" Key, Right? Nope !! Seems when the driver's door was repaired following a "minor" sideswipe, the plastic connector attaching the "unlock" rod either slipped, snapped, came disconnected, or just plain went south. In any case, the keyed entry for the ONLY KEYED LOCK was non-functional (Even the tailgate doesn't have a keyed lock - same on the '07 Yukon and '06 Avalanche). The only solution was for my daughter-in-law to phone, and to wait for POP-A-LOCK, and pay them to snake a wire through the passenger door to the mechanical lever, or to hit the "unlock" button. Of course, had it been the car's battery that was down, even that wouldn't have worked, and they would have needed to find a way for a wire to manually move the nearly inaccessible slide handle mechanism. The guy actually had an inflatable sleeve he slid in after prying the door open a bit, and then pumped up to give room to manipulate the wire - pretty cool ! But if BOTH front doors, and the tailgate had keyed entry, she would not have lost 2 hours, the revenue from 2 patient visits, and the cost of theservice call. By the way, GM - & OnStar have disabled the previous version of OnStar for our '02 Suburban, as well as the later one for our '06 Avalanche - part of the reason we bought both 2500 Series 8.1L tow vehicles.

Bob, Wasn't that Pic from the morning coffee break on the 2019 VMCCA Chrome Glidden Tour in Gonzales, Texas? We were also there with our unrestored (then) 20,xxx mile 1941 Cadillac

Did the buyer, or the transporter have to "Float A-Loan"?

I also used Hydraulic jack oil for the lever-type shocks on our (prior) 1934 Buick- worked fine

He needs to consult with his Labrador Retriever friend who does the "Lab Test"

Are you referring to the deer, or the drivers who choose not to be observant of the warnings?

Shouldn't these be rebuilt (or replaced) in pairs ?

Mark, Do not let him abuse it any more than he already has. You don't know how much I wish I had room for that very special Buick here in New Orleans. If that were the case, and if Dale were able, I would even give careful thought to taking a month on the road to fly out and drive it home. Sadly, there is no room in the garages.

Similar to our yellow 45,xxx mile unrestored original, other than ours has the optional running boards, is stick shift, and has the light tan leather interior. These are a wonderful tour car - I believe the single most numerous/popular tour driver in CCCA? Ours is surely highway, cross-country proven. The listed one should be a good deal for a modest price.

Pun Intended ! (Although some of mine may only be 2/3 of a Pun ...)

Dave is correct. There may be other options: 1. It may be possible to adapt a later series column shifter which would be suited to your current transmission 2. Some MoPar vehicles manufactured during the era of your current 1978 transmission were optioned with a floor shifter, and this may be your easiest, and possibly most effective, efficient, and affordable adaptation. You could also enclose it in a console .

I hope to purchase a NOS (or early NORS?) Real Asbestos Woven Material Clutch Disk for our 1965 Corvair Monza - 110 hp engine and 4-speed stick Original GM Part # 3888000 - 9 Inch diameter

Folks driving with a pet in their lap, or even on the steering wheel, are among my pet peeves. Dogs don't usually do the stupid things - their caretakers are the ones doing bone-headed things.

For 1975, Cadillac, Top of the line Full-sized Oldsmobile and Pontiac, Buick models had Rectangular headlights- Lesser models continued the round lights for the 1975 model year
