TerryB Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Raised white letter tires…kind of look out of place on this car🤷♂️. Must have been the only thing available for purchase at the time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neil morse Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 A tad overpriced, but definitely worth making an offer on. Looks to be in very nice condition overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_Mack_CT Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 (edited) Nice but check the blue 37 Century in Buick for sale section for a comp. IMHO, $2,500 gets a much better car. Buicks say 35, 36 - 39 even through 48 seem like a really good non Classic choice if one likes that era (a favorite for me topped only by 29 - 34). Especially Century, Roadmaster cars.

supercub Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Looks like the sidewall should be taller for a car of this era. I like the style and it looks real clean. The color not so much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This car still looks good to me, but that Century is a screaming deal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 I see that Century was listed way back in March. Surely it must have sold by now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must have been the only thing available for purchase at the time. When I bought my '40 Super it had truck tires on it (looked dumb). The correct tire is a 16 x 6.50 for this car and my Super. Unless you go to Coker, or Universal or the like, that size tire is available, but not cheap. I purchased a truck tire for my spare for $75.00. I think the black tires look good, but I would have turned them around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryB Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Personally I would have turned the letters to the inside for the simple reason that they are so incorrect it’s glaring. I too understand the price of correct tires as I ran 15” tires on my 37 Dodge to avoid the high price of 16” originals. Certainly not a major issue.

Guest Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 There. Much better. I'm not crazy about the pale yellow, there's just too much of it, but I could live with it if the wheels were painted a different color maybe. Gray? Dark Blue? Maroon? Forrest Green? or...?
