cjp69 Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Apparently the car must be too big to fit it all in a picture. https://tricities.craigslist.org/cto/d/antique-car-for-sale-price/6655527349.html 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_S_in_Penna Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 It could also very likely mean that the seller is hiding something. I once inquired about a 1974 Cadillac Eldorado convertible for sale. The pictures were truncated so that the ends of the car didn't "fit" in. When I had a friend go look at the car for me, it turned out that the plastic bumper fillers were cracked and missing--deliberately not in the picture. So be sure you get plenty of full pictures before you see any car. If the pictures aren't satisfactory, have the seller take additional ones.

MrEarl Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 or doesn’t want to show that it is a 4 door? Is it? Can anybody tell from the description or pics provided. What IS pictured looks nice and price could be good for a 20k mile car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnseeker Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 The doors look pretty long for a four door and the front seat almost looks split, but he is in the running for Craigslist photographer of the year for creating more questions than you answer with your photos. I've seen alot of them lately. The ribs in the floor matt pad also look really worn by the gas pedal. Could be 120K on it. Can't see the important part of the pedals to know for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancemb Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 It sure does look like a legit low mileage car to me. In person inspection would be required to know for sure. Potential here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnO Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 The brake pedal with disk brake embossed in the center are not reproduced. It looks like the original pedal. I've had and seen a few of these cars and the pedals don't hold up with usage over time. Usually they bow and crack. That observation along with others are an indication that it could indeed be a 20K mileage car. The pictures either show poor judgement on how to market the car or conceal flaws.

John_S_in_Penna Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Judging from the length of the door in one of the interior views, I think it is a 2-door LeSabre. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
60FlatTop Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 The Craigslist School of Automotive Photography has a high drop out rate. This one appears to have at least attended up to the "take pictures in the daylight" level. Better than many. Richlands, Va., nice town. Richlands, W. Va., exists but real hard to find. Always get the state right before you take a trip. Bernie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lrlforfun Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 (edited) OK Buick People: Perhaps a legit car. A crap presentation and overpriced. Anything else new to report? Mitch Edited August 4, 2018 by lrlforfun (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smartin Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 If the rest of the car is as the interior shows, then I think the price is right. If it is indeed a "coupe" as the ad says. The engine shot and door panel are enough for me to see that it's a legit mileage car. The color combo sucks, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y-JobFan Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 The hood ornament is straight off of a mid 60's tiered serving tray, similar to the one pictured 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y-JobFan Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 My guess is to help a smaller old person see where the end of the hood was on the cheap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
