But three pics is hard to tell. Sellers contact # 508-868-0766 name is Christina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnseeker Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 The big dent in the rear fender and kind of tired top they aren't hiding would tell me there is more to tell. I would guess a worn and barely intact interior, Fair mechanicals and tired chrome. Being a nice one can be bought for 40,000. It's probably market priced and will sell for a few thousand less. There is not as much interest in a 4 door convertible as a convertible coupe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buickborn Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 I imagine that some years ago that '40 would have been sought after as a clone of an automotive movie star, much like the "Rain Man" Buick or the "Christina" Plymouth. After all, it was a '40 Buick convertible sedan that appeared with Bogart and Bergman in the foggy, final ("Here's looking at you, Kid") scene in the ultra-iconic 1942 movie "Casablanca." (Vintage Buick, Bogart, and Bergman: we'll never see their like again.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

60FlatTop Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 The location map shows New Hampshire as the home. The car wouldn't have a title, buyer may not know that. New York is like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin M Posted March 31, 2019 Author Share Posted March 31, 2019 Yeh NY didn’t issue titles until 1972. CT doesn’t for cars over 20 Years old. Mass wasn’t until 1980. So that’s probably why there’s a missing title. It never existed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad to say, but most folks these days haven't a clue as to what it refers to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try running with this on your tailgate and see who honks and waves. One guy said he'd shoot first and ask questions later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
