alsancle Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Why are the nice original cars always 4 door sedans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 55er Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 I used to own a 1952 Buick Super and that's not the original upholstery. IMO it's not worth 30 grand either. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Phillips Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 55er's observation is correct. That two-tone gray velour is NOT the original upholstery, and a '52 Super 4-dr. sedan is NOT worth $30,000. Pete Phillips, BCA #7338 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B Jake Moran Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 X 3 on price and upholstery. Did the pandemic and the need to pay full price on modern items translate to sellers of old cars? Some - not all - of these 4 door sedans have sellers that have suddenly added $15,000 plus to their cars? Then they sit unsold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben I've grown quite fond of four doors. I hated them when I was younger and would have never given them a second look. I've found they're pretty handy when you want to toss a couple of kids in the back seat. You also can't tell the difference when you're looking out the front window. I guess I don't feel the need to be "cool" anymore. Which is good because I never really was "cool" anyway. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usnavystgc Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 (edited) Four door post sedans rule. In all seriousness though, It is much easier to find a 4 door post that is all original than any other body type. Many were left to sit for long periods since no one considered them worth anything. Now everyone wants pics of this and that to verify original placement and routing of things.

Smartin Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 This car presents pretty darn well. For $16,500 it may be a great way to get a somewhat turnkey car that doesn't NEEEEEED a ton of cosmetic work. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
