60FlatTop Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Robert is really teasing with that '49 Super. I took these where Mr. Prendergast lived, if you remember that 1950's TV woman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

60FlatTop Posted January 3, 2013 Author Share Posted January 3, 2013 Mr. Earl, You knew tease and the '54 went together, didn't you. I took those pictures in May 2011 when we were auditing the Jamestown, New York school facilities. It was a real neat place right on the main drag, Cresent Motors: Crescent Motors Inc. - Classic Cars @ Classic Prices (716) 665-2420The owner was friendly and there were car magazines all over the office.The '54 was a real stand up car. I liked the '49 Super. There was a lot more stuff. I'll put a directory of the pictures up later.Jamestown, well Celeron, was the birthplace of Lucille Ball.Not only were the cars neat, but next door was a pizza lunch buffet. What a combination!Bernie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEarl Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Well I was wrong, it's a Century, not a Special.... and it's still on the lot... @ $4795 minus the $500 coupon = $4,295. At that price but given the fact it's in the salt belt, and it's still there since last May, says it may be missing its bottom 1/4. The guy to talk to was gone to Rochester to pick up a car, will talk to him later today. Century 4 doors are sorta scarce but all it would take would be for it have a 3 speed, a good original interior and none of the ezeye glass be broken and I could be on I-85 North tomorrow morning and eating pizza tomorrow night. Crescent Motors Inc. - Classic Cars @ Classic Prices (716) 665-2420They have a couple of 40's for sale too I see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avgwarhawk Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 The 54 looks in good shape from the pictures. I like the 59 Mercury. If you get more info on the 50'fo I'm interesting in hearing about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
60FlatTop Posted January 3, 2013 Author Share Posted January 3, 2013 (edited) If you think Jamestown is in the salt belt you should have been with the guy who went to Rochester! Sometimes I wake up during the night and hear my truck rusting.Here is a directory of all the cars on their lot. Index of /xjs/Dir2/Cresent It won't take long to figure out I put doubles up. It will give twice the experience.I remember that '54 being pretty good. As a salt belter, we can smell the bad ones.Jamestown is a depressed area. I can guarantee those cars have seen more than one May. We do a lot of school work and state aid is based on the economic tax base of the districts. I remember that was one of the highest. Most of the industry was gone and only a large medical center was left. In economies like that some pretty good stuff can sit unsold for a long time. That lot is on Rt. 417 which is bypassed by Interstate 17, 2 miles to the north. Good bye small cities and towns. And, Hey, some changed GM and made all my stock worth nothing. There will be a lot of unsold cars or really good deals in the next few years. My soapbox, better quit while I'm ahead.Bernie Edited January 3, 2013 by 60FlatTop (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEarl Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Makes one wish he had a 3 car trailer and a pocket full of cash. I like this dealers guys taste. And I see what you mean, these cars have been there awhile. Off the beaten path and the economy must be pretty bad there. Somewhat symbolic of the antique auto market as a whole everywhere right now, cars of Barret-Jackson and Mecum and RM still selling......but Craigs List, eBay and even Hemmings are gathering dust and rust.I saved this one in the "Buick Art" file. Called it "Lilac through Coral 56" Thanks for sharing Bern. The dealer didn't return my call or email today, will try again tomorrow. PS you're 'bout as far from Jamestown as one can get and still be in NY aren't you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
60FlatTop Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 (edited) Mr. Earl you've been on Google maps and found out why you can't stop by if you have a four hour layover at Kennedy Airport. I am about 30 miles from Toronto, Ontario, eh.My wife and I like driving up to a little town along the Niagara River (the one with the falls) for lunch. Here's Toronto from a rooftop in that town.BernieAnd here's how you get there with a flattop Buick Edited January 4, 2013 by 60FlatTop (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
