southpaw52 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 I really hate to do this, but I just don't have time to do her justice. Her name is Rosie. She runs, stops and goes when asked, backs up, turns right and left. She has an original appearing spare in the trunk, 4 nearly new Coker bias tires on the ground. Interior is intact but incorrect. Exterior is good, but, though it is a '56 Buick color, she does not not match the build plate as should be the darker "Cadet Blue" of that year, you can see the darker blue in the picture of the engine compartment. Engine appears original. Trunk and floor boards are solid. Her original sale receipt, care book with oil change dates etc will go with her, along with any other of her records I have. (If you've read my other posts you mat know this the same make / year my Dad taught me to drive in back in the late '60's. He enjoyed talking with me about her from NY and helping me with little adjustments over the phone. He passed last November. Between that and the fact that I've opened a business my heart just isn't as in to owning her as it should be.) She is in western Montana right now and will winter over in my garage there unless you rescue her. There is of course a "re-homing" fee. Now only $16,500. She is currently insured per my company's appraisal at $25K, though I know they tend to go a little high. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Roth Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Wow !! Nice car, and an affordable way for someone to start enjoying our hobby - and actually drive it home from western Montana? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
56 Buick Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Not sure where else the car is advertised but you should try sites such as Hemmings, etc. that will reach a wide audience. Just my opinion. Hope snatches it up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southpaw52 Posted January 5, 2019 Author Share Posted January 5, 2019 Bruce, what are the odds of that? Almost nobody lives here. LOL. Would I know her? Does she work in Darby? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does she work in Darby? You might. She is not a car person, however. Work? Not sure. Marilyn Prieb. Actually, I have been in Darby. In 2006 I moved a person from there. Beautiful. The local, that is.
