Steve Moskowitz Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 I know that many of you are skeptical on these types ads but this gentlemen is known to me and a friend recently bought a car from him at the fall meet. So my belief is that this ad is for real. Fredrico, this forum really likes to see prices attached to the cars. 2 1

RodgerWilson Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 Where are the cars physically located? I would be interested in pictures of the 18 Reo. If you prefer to email them you can send them to wilson1rodger@comcast.net. Thanks.
auburnseeker Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 Could you post or PM me photos and a price on the 32 Buick? Thanks.
42319DB34 Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 305 area code ( noted in NSU window ) would indicate South Florida / Miami
JFranklin Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 Cell phone portability has ruined the notion that the area code has any indication of true location!

auburnseeker Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 The Buick is a tad more of a project than I was looking for. Do you have any photos of the 56 GMC? 1
mikewest Posted October 27, 2017 Posted October 27, 2017 My experience Buicks ALWAYS have bad wood. I think they were made with soft maple , sure wasn't ash. 1
Dave39MD Posted October 27, 2017 Posted October 27, 2017 Mikewest, It would seem odd that Fisher Body would make Chevrolet's out of Ash and Buick's out of an inferior wood. Not doubting you but it seems strange. Did you get this info from a good source? Dave

Not doubting you but it seems strange. Did you get this info from a good source? Dave I'm not Mike but, Have you found many Chevrolets with Ash in them? I heard Fisher made so many bodies, they had lumber contracts in several states and at least one Canadian province. One of those states was Washington. Not much Ash grows here. It was my understanding that they used whatever was available, and I have even heard of people finding Pine. I can't confirm that. I attempted to identify the rotten wood in my Pontiac by slicing it with a razor blade and looking at it through a magnifier. It may be to rotten to tell, but it appears to be Beech. Some of the intact pieces appear to be Ash. I too would expect Buick to get any available Ash before Chevrolet (or Pontiac). It will be interesting to see what others have found.

Budensor Posted October 27, 2017 Posted October 27, 2017 How about pictures of the 1970 C10 Chevrolet
C Carl Posted October 28, 2017 Posted October 28, 2017 As long as you are up , pics of the 1924 Buick opera coupe , please. Thanks , - Carl

Dave Dave , Ive taken no fewer that 6 Buicks 1928 -31 apart and ALL of them had lightweight non hard wood in the body framing.
trimacar Posted October 28, 2017 Posted October 28, 2017 That GMC truck sounded interesting, but it appears to be a 3/4 or 1 ton truck? Anyone identify it for sure? I think the bigger the truck the less the value....the Cadillac sure looks like a great original car....
dibarlaw Posted October 28, 2017 Posted October 28, 2017 C Carl: I had asked about photos of the 1924 and 1932 Buicks when he posted on the Buick forum. Since imperial62 said he would take them both. I have asked him. As to the wood in these cars. My 1925-25 Standard touring had ash in the vertical members of the doors and the strike posts. The top of the door stiles were maple.

Fleek Posted October 29, 2017 Posted October 29, 2017 (edited) Trimacar, I believe the GMC is a 3/4 or 1 ton long bed truck. The shot of the wheel shows 8 lugs and it is an original 4 speed floor shift and the plate shows 8,800 lbs max load. The tag shows it is a Canadian built truck which means it most likely has a Chevy 6 engine but there are no pics of the engine. Edited October 29, 2017 by Fleek (see edit history)

Canadian GMC. Feel free to ask
dibarlaw Posted October 30, 2017 Posted October 30, 2017 Thank you for posting the other photos. I agree that the 1924 model 33, 4 cylinder coupe is looking to be a rough project. It appears to have a 1925 Standard radiator and shell. May even be a 1926 or 27 radiator as it does look more rounded than my 1925 shell. The side view shows the hood going uphill to the radiator. The 1924 4 cylinder cars had a painted shell with an aluminum bead around the inner edge of the shell opening and was about a 1 1/12 " shorter than the 1925 -1927 shells. If any one gets this car I believe I can source a correct radiator for it.

Buffalowed Bill Posted December 10, 2017 Posted December 10, 2017 I just came across the ad and thought that I would comment on the 1946 Studebaker. This is a car that my better half owned up until a year ago. It's a 60, 000, PNW original car with minimal rust under the left gravel shield, and the trunk weather strip trough and a tiny bit on the trunk floor. This is really a decent car and would make a great project, but a bit overpriced at $8K. I hope that someone can negotiate a price that would allow for it's preservation.
