I don't know if this is of any interest to you gents, but I just came across it while browsing Craigslist for Iowa. It looks nice, but I can't speak to the price

I don't believe they had "factory" dual carbs in 1939. Looks like a retrofit and maybe a later engine judging by the color. Still not a bad price for a big, fast car like that.

Yeah, I knew that the dual carb set up was from a couple of years later, but I being a Buick set up, I assume that it might something of an asset to some.

If you can live with the upholstery, asking price is an OK starting point. Dual carbs is cool as long as they, and the motor generally, work well.

Well technically they ARE factory dual carbs. Why would you cheat yourself out of a car you want just because the seller doesnt know his facts. YOU DO. USE IT TO YOUR ADVANTAGE. Why walk away thinking your punishing the seller?
