The wheel wells don't look familiar for a 40-41 but the rear turn signal suggests that this used to be a beautiful 2 door convertible Buick. This would make a great parts car today. 1948 Super.

If the top edge doesn't poke you in the face you can get stabbed by the bottom corner. I have had two '94 Roadmasters and still have a '94 Impala SS. Like Blondie used to say, they'll gitcha. So, at the big National Craigslist Seller's Convention, in Monks Corners, South Carolina, the first topic was "Prepare for the first question: Do you have the original wheels?"

Thriller 1,233 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Similarly if we are just looking at custom Buicks it occurred to me how long will it be before this thread shows a photo of a forum member's car and bad feelings are created. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Elpad 8,985 Posted November 3, 2017 Author Share Posted November 3, 2017 You know Thriller, you are right.... since I started this thread, I should insert this proverb here “ to each its own” and you will find the definition as a link. By no means This thread meant to be derogatory to anyone taste but just a simple personal opinion by whoever posts here just like the saying “somebody’s junk is someone else’s treasure” or “different strokes for different folks” hope nobody takes it personally. https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/suum_cuique#Latin 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

60FlatTop 6,495 Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Yeah, pictures of the modified ones could cause the thin skinned owners some grief. But they looked finished and driving. Whereas this might be worth the sum of it's parts. Fresh paint 14 years ago, never seen daylight. Bernie Link to post Share on other sites

Rivman 631 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 I don't know "that" much about the "older" Buicks, but, I just don't think they were built like this ... I think a different version was posted a while back but just thought I would post it since I ran across it, what a mess! It is on Craigslist in Minneapolis if anyone wants more info. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
