kar3516 Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Not mine…desirable car but looks like either a big project or a rough parts car. https://worcester.craigslist.org/cto/d/keene-1932-buick-56c-convertible-coupe/7525732945.html owner contact info: e74806fa50c136ddba02ecd4e81ef808@sale.craigslist.org per owner: 1932 Buick 56C Convertible Coupe with rumble seat. 1 of 630 produced in 1932. 3 speed standard transmission with the optional Inline 8 cylinder. Has Dual side mounts along with a radio. Very solid sheet metal and a great candidate for restoration. Last registered in 1972 and Mileage shown of 6496 could possibly be original 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjmarzoli Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Looks like that one has been sitting out since before I was born. And I'm pushing 50! License plates held up the best. The 8cyl engine was standard in all 1932 Buicks. This is the smallest series: 50. Hope someone saves it. It will take deep pockets and/or deep ambition.

Leif in Calif Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Sad to see...Lots of busted knuckles on rusty bolts there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsancle Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Sadly, I think it’s garage art at this point. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Roth Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 The EIGHT (8) Cylinder Engine was NOT an option ! All 1932 Buicks had a straight 8 as standard equipment. Buick's last 6-cylinder prior to 1931 was the 1930 model year. Of course, All Buick guys and gals know this, but some other folks also read these posts. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boobtube Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Porsche68, I'm with ya. Might take a bit more than the brakes being tidied up, though. Looks like the sheet metal is holding the car together. But it's beautiful as it is. What they call patina. I hope no one paints this car other than clear coat.

63RedBrier Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Beyond patina... Looks like someone may have spray bombed it with primer from the cowl back years ago. Storage conditions must have been pretty damp for the dash and engine to have that much surface rust. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinmass Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Sad to see it saved and in such poor condition. It would probably be best as a rat rod and the original parts to be used as spares to keep others on the road. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAKerry Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Im either dumb enough or desperate enough to want to restore this car, however I would not pay more than about $300 for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xander Wildeisen Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 It is cool that there are still cars like this out there to be found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
