Piotr M Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Great looking 1934 Buick Coupe just offered for sale locally in Floral Park, NY. Its hard to believe that the interior survived in such amazing condition. But even if the upholstery was replaced this Buick looks great. Asking price 34K USD.

daniel boeve Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Extremely nice car !If this is all original , this is a jewel .I am not sure i can get in this car as i am rather tall , little over 6 feet .But when you this you don't need any project that needs paint , interior and other work and that will cost you more in the end .

supercub Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Looks great but when one starts driving it, they are going to be replacing rubber part failures one by one. As evident, the heater hoses are 30s vintage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's got seat adjusters, so that's a good sign. Width of the seat might be as much an issue if you ride with someone of similar size; you might both have to hang an arm out the window. All-original cars are a mixed bag. They're only original once and this is a nice one, but along with that you might run the risk of blown hoses, broken belts, and electrical fires on that serene Sunday drive. Personally, I can do without that sort of drama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_Mack_CT Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 (edited) Sorting, preventive maintenance and ensuring all safety gear is up to snuff would be a must, so car can be enjoyed even sparingly. Great looking example of a GM period where styling was nice across the board. I think wood in bodies kept survival rate down compared to various Fords & Mopars in 32 - 36 time frame. You see a lot more GM cars after turret tops came along.. Edited July 28, 2021 by Steve_Mack_CT (see edit history) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
58L-Y8 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 An HPOF time-capsule! The new owner should treat it carefully and drive it sparingly, change out the functional, potential failure items with period-correct replacements 'aged' to appear original so as not to detract from the overall appearance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neil morse Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Looks like a great original, as others have commented. But what about the seller's claim that everything works "including the cruise control."? What could he be talking about? A pull-out hand throttle on the dash? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buick35 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 That's what I was wondering about.Must be the hand throttle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimy Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 The hand throttle on these is one of two levers on the steering wheel hub; the other is the light switch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, George. That must be why the owner/seller thinks it's a "cruise control." Kind of indicates that the seller is not an old car person. Sure looks like a great car, however! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Wilkie Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Have been checking it over and it seems that important items have been kept up to good standards such as fuel pump, hoses, tires. Going to a small local car show tomorrow with it. I plan on getting it on a rack and just check the under side out. I see it needs a good cleaning underneath. I'm going to put the clear plastic over the seats in order to protect them.. Checked under the seat and there was the jack, tool bag with several tools in it. As for the paint , you just have to live with it. I did hand polish it just to get some sort of shine out of it.. The original paint is discolored but livable.. As for the running board rubber. It's original but several pieces have fallen off.. I'm still satisified with the purchase.. I've had many , many Buicks in my collecting history and the 1934 and 35 were one of my favorite years. My dad had the 1935 90 Cov. cp.. , I had a 1934 90 sedan at one time along with a 34 covt. sedan 60 series... but those are gone. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hudsy Wudsy Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 I think that it would be nice if some very patient and talented individual would pinstripe the wheels like they were when new: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
