I just can't purchase a pre war Buick in white.  Maybe it's cream?

I agree Jake:

It will be a hard sell with those colors at that price.  Note the landau bars are upside down and on the wrong side. A 1927 Standard Country Club in the correctly executed colors to me is a lovely car. Below photos of one I judged at the 2014 Portland meet.

People used to say if you do not like the color simply repaint. To get a quality repaint would be in the $20,000 range

That color blue was a real factory color?  

[dibarlaw]

Yes Jake the color is correct for the model. The Model 26S and 28 coupes could be had in Delaware Green. A shade of turquoise.

Looks like the driver's door has issues as well.

Posting has expired which means no sale.  I can not get past the color.  In my frame of mind, white came along as a "color" in the 1950's and then as a contrast color.  BUT Mr. Earl states that white was a primary color in the 50's.

I think what I said was that Arctic White was the most ordered color in Buicks of 1954. I like white, except on pick up trucks, I hate white pick up trucks.😄

Correct. Did not mean to misquote.  By anamoly, manufacturers did use white a lot in the 50s.
