Perhaps the vent-i-ports belong on the end where the engine is. RivNut you are correct. I found more info on this one. It is called the Berlin Buick as it has a nailhead in the back and the vent-a-ports are the exhaust. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one that Mickey Thompson used back in '62 to build an Indy car for Dan Gurney. (DNF - transmission failure.) British Leyland bought the rights to it and enlarged it to 5 litres, approx. 300 cubic inches, for use in its Land Rover series. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stooge Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 (edited) Picture from 1940, predominantly of a grocery store and a ford, but on the right side, looks like a 1937 Buick that's had a bit of an accident larger version here, on Shorpy http://www.shorpy.com/node/24036?size=_original#caption Edited November 8, 2018 by Stooge (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elpad Posted November 10, 2018 Author Share Posted November 10, 2018 They will have to pay me in order for me to obtain that and then I will donate proceeds to charity. It will take at least the asking price to try to convert the convertible to original condition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCHinson Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 I seldom look at this particular topic, as I try not to focus on negative comments on the forum. I drove my 1937 Century to lunch today at my favorite local diner. I could not resist a quick photo of this Buick that was there today because it reminded me of this topic. I have never seen a complete duct tape restoration of a vinyl top before. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Simmons Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Again just about the time you think you've seen it all something like post #693 comes along. Try just getting that group of ebay pictures out of your memory banks. This to me is the opposite side of Kindig or Foose. I know ,I know to each his own but in MHO is stupid money following stupid design and again losing a Buick in the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
