Both cars are very nice.  Reminds me of my garage with my '40 Roadmaster coupe which is black and my white '63 Riviera.  I have never seen a '38 Buick with that body style.  It looks like it is right hand drive.  Is it a style that was made for England?

Hi Michael,

“Black Beauty “ is an Australian bodied “all enclosed coupe” which was unique to Australia. Only 43 of these Buicks were made and you are spot on that it is RHD. We refer to them as “slopers” out here.

 

Set up to appeal to the travelling salesman or business man to carry samples or merchandise, the back seat folded forward to make a flat storage area that you can access from the boot, like a station wagon. They built them from about 1935/6 through to 1939/40 using Chevrolet, Pontiac, Oldsmobile and Buick platforms. Very low numbers of each were made in each of the years.

 

And “Snowflake “ is a 1963 Riviera.

 

Love to see a picture of your garage too!
