John_S_in_Penna Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Certainly a collectible car for someone to enjoy; but with dull paint and an incorrect interior, the asking price needs to come down. If the car looks dull, I think the interest in it will be just as dull. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Harwood Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Is the paint actually dull or intentionally painted satin? Didn't we have a former member here who painted his '38 Special sedan in a satin blue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnseeker Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 I bet it's just weathered single stage. It fades bad and might have never been buffed out when it was first done. I think this has been for sale for quite some time. Probably because it's a so so car, in a so so body style in so so condition at what a much nicer car can be bought for.

Steve_Mack_CT Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 I thought it was a jersey car, seems like a fun ride for $10, 11k. That said, I saw a 39 Chevy two door today, on fb market, $9,600. As a comp you get a 6 vs 8 cyl but car has a very nice original interior, and no body wood, my point being $10k seems to get a decent mid to late 30s sedan in a non Classic, not much more gets a v8 Ford. So competition for is probably a factor for this Buick. It is an attractive sedan though, always liked shape of GM models of this era. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Kingsley Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Is that a big hole in the roof? I can't tell if this car is in primer or just faded paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That spot doesn't appear in the 1st pic so I guess not a hole... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Kingsley Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 I see something in the first picture. Also something going on over the driver's door in both the first two shots. Looking closer I think it is a chip in the paint with some peeling. I actually really like the car, despite the obvious flaws. (I'm ok with imperfect as long as not hacked up). If this came up in 2 or 3 years I might have given that number a call. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deac Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 I think it's a crappy quality job. Anybody who thinks crappy paint work is a benefit to an old car is actually devaluing the car. The Buick, just looking at the pictures , I can see flaws everywhere and if a new owner wants to get it decent quality paint job it will cost a fortune. The price is not reasonable and agree it should be down at 7 or 8k; not 11,500!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
