RivNut Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 This one really caught my eye. Raked in the front, louvered, shaved, chrome reversed rims with bullet caps, lake pipes, dummy spots. Without being able to see a closeup of the interior, I'd bet on Tiajuana Tuck N Roll. Somewhere there's a sunken antenna. Sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt G Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 ED R. you indeed are a true car nut and Buick guy, great observations about the modifications etc on the Buick and not one word about the chassis on the lady parked next to the Buick. 🧐 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walt G Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 OK Lamarr, OK Bill, since you both are so observant and obviously knowledgeable can you tell all of us - does she have a limited slip differential ? Since I am a automotive historian I suspect she definitely has overdrive. 🙃 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEarl Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Can’t tell from here. Need to put her up in the air and see if both axles turn in the same direction or opposite to determine that. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extra length rear control arms and new poly bushings, but like Henry's Model T - "The intake is too close to the exhaust." 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgreen Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Yep, it's a 40 (turn signal housing) and based on the trunk view, I'd guess it is either a Super of Roadmaster. That loosely held conclusion is based on the rounded trunk of the C-body versus the more squared off version for the A-body. Note the tip-away center bumper guard. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely, from the license plate, it is Union County, New Jersey, where I grew up in the '40s and '50s. I recall Dad's '42 Chevy had plate # U/K 44L The black plate was later replaced by the Straw-colored background with 3 black letters - 3 black numbers- especially interesting because at the time, my career was in Electronic Data Processing (EDP) - (Information Systems Management), and both cars at that time received plates starting with EDP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
