MrEarl 9,364 Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Awesome!!![ATTACH=CONFIG]166300[/ATTACH]Here are the results of the RM Auction of which these two Buicks were inRM Auctions John Staluppi Collection 2012 - Auction Report Link to post Share on other sites
MrEarl 9,364 Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Were WIRE WHEELS an factory option? Dale in IndyYes. They were available on the 60-50 and 70 series in 1955, were code T and cost $295.00 for a set of 5. The oversize whitewall tires in size 8.00 X 15 were code R and would have cost you 48.60.

smithbrother 605 Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Reading the coverage of each car sold, one gets the opinion that many of the cars weren't up to par. I noted that he purchased many in recent years at BJ auctions, and many he lost money on. I'm a bit surprised that he didn't use BJ as his auction house, as he was a big spender there. I will say though that RM is a class act, and does seem to attract higher paying buyers.I wonder what he is up to now that he has 10 million to spend????Several Buick's sold, the 58 limited vert wasn't given a good review, IMODale in Indy Link to post Share on other sites

old-tank 3,839 Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 From my collectionPhoto taken somewhere in Massachusetts.Circa 1955?Probably late '60s or early '70s judging by the white stripe (vs WWW) tires and wider tires (bias belted?). Also there is a decorative strip on the rockers that extends to the lower front fender and lower rear quarter (cover for rust). Rear tires are snow tires and this car drips (surprise!).Willie Link to post Share on other sites
MrEarl 9,364 Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I agree with Willie. When did MA. start using decals on their tags. And also Dennis the Menace in the poster ads and scrumpdellyicios says early seventies at the earliest. Did anybody else have an Arctic Girl in their town. I got hooked on black cherry milkshakes at one in our town back in the mid fifties and still my favorite today. Hard to find real ones any more though. Link to post Share on other sites

smithbrother 605 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Seeing that ROLLING CHASSIS, reminds me of Dad's dealership in approx. 1942-44, Buick shipped a chassis of a 41 in for display. I was always thrilled to play around it, I was 6-7 at the time. I went with Dad back to the dealership often after school, but then he enlisted in the Marines.
