SpellsOfTruth Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 (edited) Found a 30x40 concrete garage on recently purchased property. The garage contains 2 1940s-1950s antique cars. 1 of the cars is a Buick Eight 4 door, I am unsure of the make or model of the other. Cars are located in Gloucester county NJ. If anyone is interested, has more questions, or could point me in the right direction to get rid of them please call 856-534-3275 or email at spellsoftruth@protonmail.com Edited December 6, 2020 by SpellsOfTruth bad photo (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1939_Buick Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 (edited) There should be an aluminium data plate (6x4) with stamped numbers on the right side of the firewall/cowl Photo's of that would help identify The 2 door car looks to be a 1939 model 48, from the small pieces of the side-front sheetmetal [photo 2] The 4 door 1946-47?? [others will know lot more] Both are worth little, given the condition edit The engine in the 1939 is 1947 or later as it has (unused) side engine mounts plate-4 studs (image017) The data plate looks to be missing. Is normally where the cut off heater hoses are Edited December 6, 2020 by 1939_Buick (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBRMD Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 The four door is a Special, 1947-48. Could even be a '49, which were few and really just leftover '48's. Not a '46. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan O Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Reminds me of looking at those first photos of the wreck of the Titanic laying on the ocean floor. Not much left but you can still make it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Eaton Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 I want to guess......... agree that the 2 dr is a 1939 The 4 dr I think is a 1942... from reference pictures, only the 42 had the chrome strip running from the hood along a line that intersected with the door handles. 1941 had that long strip but they did not have the fender trim.

billbuickgs Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 I think the 42 - 6-7-8-9 is pieced together . The air cleaner is 50 51 52 ( maybe early 49 ), the grille is 47 8 9., The emblem housing over the grille is 47 8 9 The emblem in that housing looks plastic 48 9 ( 47 was metal ). The steering wheel looks dark ( black ) 48 9 The above would be a Special model My 2cents Bill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Eaton Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Further looking show 1948 Specials had the fender trim and the stainless strip that runs down the side of the hood, across the doors and over the rear fenders. With Bills input, I change my vote to 1948 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
