Hudsy Wudsy Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 I came across this Buick on Craigslist for Souix City, Iowa and thought maybe someone on here would find it of interest. It looks like a potentially nice car, but whether it's worth the price you'll have to decide.1948 Buick Sedannette 56Kmi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithbrother Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 It is a very DESIRABLE body style, for sure, big plus there. It's a Super, if it were a Roadmaster, well lots of folks would feel the price is RIGHT. I am guessing the price isn't to far off. Great color too. I am NOT a big fan of plastic covers though. Sweating under the plastic isn't good. If I weren't so busy with lots of projects I would be interested. Dale in Indy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweating under the plastic isn't good. With just 2 pic's it doesn't tell the REST OF THE STORY, but maybe it doesn't have top rust. If I weren't so busy with lots of projects I would be interested.

60FlatTop Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 You think they are trying to suck the nasty smell out of the interior? Bernie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Phillips Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Looks like another one (green) is lurking right behind it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BJM Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Yes very nice. These cars are still out there. Spider sense tells me these cars may have been owned by someone who has just passed away and did not want to get rid of them OR has just entered a care facility and signed over POA to someone charged with cleaning up the estate. Maybe I am wrong. $5300? Probably pretty close. I posted a 41 Century Sedanette link off ebay last week, without a 320, that ended north of $3000.

buick man Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 The car is in Elk Point, South Dakota. That's just a few miles south of Vermillion down I-29 where the University of South Dakota is. Folks should get an account on photo bucket and dump a load of photos for this car including the engine, trunk, interior and under the car to help show all it's potential. Hope it finds a good and caring home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shimaseiki Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Greetings !Would you know if the 46 - 48 roadmaster (76-S) and supper (56-S) would have the same body shell. I am trying to restore a 48 supper sedanette but instead i found a 46 - 48 roadmaster sedanette body shell at a scrap dealer, would the roadmaster body panels be a perfect fit for the supper ?Merry Christmas all !!

Dynaflash8 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 They are the same from the firewall back, except for upholstery trim. The frame/chassis would not be the same because the Roadmaster was longer to house the longer 320 block. The transmissions were different and don't know how that would affect the actual frame.

Pete Phillips Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I have one of each, if you need anything in particular measured.Pete Phillips, BCA #7338 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shimaseiki Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Sir's, many thanks for the precious information, i am going to try and keep the complete shell from the 76-S on to the 56-S. Would that be possible ? if from the firewall -back they match, my only hope would be to replace the same and find a face from a supper 56-S. Mr. Phillips is it possible to take measurement ? can any one help me find a supper body shell (56-S) that would be a perfect match for my chassis ?

Pete Phillips Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 (edited) Dynaflash8 is right, and I measured both of mine just to be sure. They are the same length from the firewall to the rear of the cars.Interesting, that the 1948 Super at the start of this thread is the one that now sits in my garage. I guess I should thank "Hudsy Wudsy" for starting this thread.Pete Phillips, BCA #7338Leonard, Texas Edited December 25, 2014 by Pete Phillips (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
