Vintman Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Hi Folks, A couple of us feel that the attached is a cca 1936 Buick but it seems to have downfacing wipers which my photos of Buicks or GM did not have. So very puzzled and would appreciate your thoughts on make, year and model? Regards Vintman (UK)www.svvs.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curti Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 I also noticed the fender lights and bumper guards are different. Possibly built in Canada or OZ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandpa Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Looks like a 1936 Buick with different headlights and fender lights than the USA production cars.Grandpa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 (edited) Looks like a European model 1936 Buick. I have only found one photo of a 1936 Buick with the wipers as shown. They are on a Roadmaster (from what the source said). Well....o.k.....the mounts are there, but the arms aren't....and....it's slightly custom which means they could have been changed.

Dave Henderson Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 It does look like it's foreign, based on the headlight lens and the license tag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozstatman Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 It's a LHD car, unless the negative has been reversed, which would tend to rule out an Aussie body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Clearly by the "6", the negative is not reversed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozstatman Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Clearly by the "6", the negative is not reversed.Right, missed that! Might have something to with not seeing the forest for the trees? Or, because I'm in Oz, how can I be sure it's not a 9 from my viewpoint? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintman Posted August 8, 2015 Author Share Posted August 8, 2015 Hi Folks, Many thanks for your thoughts. I have done further investigation and cannot find any waterfall grille Buick with downfacing wipers. The photo was apparently taken in Holland so it being a European version makes some sense, except that I have found nothing with with downfacing wipers. McLaughlin wade a RHD version but not with downfacing wipers. So all very puzzling! Thanks again. Vintman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
