Mark Shaw Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 A Model 81 is a four door six passenger touring sedan. 80 series cars were the second largest cars made that year with a 133" wheel base. Total production was 3810 cars which sold for $1553. Interiors were tan or gray broadcloth or tan or grey leather.Dave Corbin can help you verify engine & frame numbers.

Guest Johnpaul Ragusa Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Nice Car.Its a Buick Limited. Its a CCCA eligible car. You should have a 141HP Mirco-poised DynaFlash straight 8 engine in there. 1656 is simply showing it was the 1656th car made in that production. There were a bunch of different 80 series cars that year. There was the 81, 81C, 81F, 87, 87F and 80C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
