1931-33 Buick 80-90 Series

gaz21t,

You should contact (OCM) Sandy Jones on the forums here, as he has (2) '33 series 90's.

He is looking for a home for one of them.

Having seen them, I can tell you that choosing which one to purchase will be a tough decision...........as both are like new.

Only question is, which one he will let you buy.

I'm trying to decide if I should put one of our cars up for sale. I've given some thought to putting my 1934 Model 57 on the market. It was just awarded Senior Grand National at Moline. IL last month (First Junior at Stowe-2011; Senior at Bristol-2011; First Grand Nation at Shelbyville-2012). I just haven't really decided, but could really use the room in the garage (and some cash, too) for other projects. This strong-running Buick was our Tour / Driver for a dozen years, and was then carefully, and lovingly restored between August 2006 and May, 2011- turned out it was a never damaged, never rusted, never rotted great driver, and I'm the 3rd owner, having bought it in 1995 from the gentleman/collector/BCA Member who bought it in 1970.

The problem is that it is so similar to our HPOF-ORIGINAL 1937 Roadmaster 80C Phaeton (Convertible Sedan), and I'm having a hard time justifying keeping both of them.

I am looking for a good car unrestored for price less then 30000$

Gaz,

I wish you had put that in your first post.................

Would have saved a lot of Buick guys a lot of looking around.............

Can't touch OCM"S for TWICE THAT and I don't think Marty is interested in GIVING his away either !!!

Gaz21t,

Why don't you go for the better driver with Independent Front Suspension?

You could probably find a way to talk me out of my 1934 50 series...

Marty -

Out of curiosity, what did you ever decide on which car you were going to sell?

Jay,

I guess if I were to let one go, it would probably be the 1934 - 57 , the blue Sedan which was just awarded the Senior Grand National several weeks ago.

Thank you , Jay - I appreciate your comment.

I'm still torn, but leaning toward finding a good home for the 1934 Buick. I know that I cannot get back anywhere near the amount that we've invested, but it should bring more than a typical runner.
