MCHinson Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Welcome to the AACA Discussion Forum. Do you have a particular body style that you are seeking?

Cars are advertised for sale in the club newsletter on a fairly regular basis. http://www.3638buickclub.org/ There are a few cars advertised on the club website currently. http://www.3638buickclub.org/advertisements.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Paul Posted December 25, 2020 Author Share Posted December 25, 2020 (edited) I like the 37 grill, and would prefer roadmaster, or model 41. I am not familiar with all the different models of the sedans, however I have seen them as slantback and a humpback. I am open to a coupe as long as it is original. Thank you for providing the 36-38 group link. Edited December 25, 2020 by Michael Paul (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Phillips Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 (edited) I have a 1937 Roadmaster 4-dr. sedan that I will be selling as soon as its front bumper and sheet metal repairs are completed--it's in the body shop now. Runs and drives very well; mostly original and unrestored except for driver's seat upholstery and I think it's been repainted once.

Marty Roth Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 If you’re looking for what some consider the ultimate in 1937 Buick Roadmaster, look at the ultra rare model 80C like mine- 4-door convertible sedan, called “PHAETON” in Buick terms. Ours was FIORELLO LaGuardia’s personal Parade Car. Feel free to PM me to learn lots of background as ours is an unrestored original, wearing AACA badges to confirm the originality.

John_S_in_Penna Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 A friend of mine in Penna. is selling his 1937 Roadmaster phaeton. Some models aren't as rare as production numbers would indicate, because they caught the attention of collectors many years ago and a disproportionate number have been restored. (Another friend has the very same model.) Here is the one for sale, a virtually perfect Grand National winner, for what it's worth; the seller is a good guy and a mechanic who specializes in pre-war cars. However, you can have plenty of fun with a Special sedan for a small fraction of the cost. All the best to you in your search. https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/cars-for-sale/buick/unspecified/2445604.html 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't initially find pictures of my car's all original dash with the original design (applique?), as opposed to a painted surface, but here are 2 photos of another '37 Roadmaster 80C where the dash design is easier to see (steering wheel - not mine - in first 2 pics may not be correct)- later added 7 pics of our original dash and steering wheel And yes, you can have a lot of fun with a 40 Series Special 4-door sedan for a fraction of the cost. Best of luck in your quest ! Here's a better look at the unusual design for the 1937 Roadmaster Phaeton's Dashboard Edited December 27, 2020 by Marty Roth Added pics (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The owner of another 1937 Roadmaster phaeton (one I mentioned above) has had his restored as well. I think his has reached the Senior level. He's a Buick specialist, and he said the original Dinoc decal pattern (shown on Marty's car) was unavailable, so he painted his dashboard a solid color.
