So you're buying a 37 Buick Special for the price of a 37 Buick Century. Yeah sure, I'll do that... A few months ago we saw a very nice blue 37 Century sedan going for approximately $21,000 and the car would not sell. Therefore it just doesn't sense to pay anything close to the sellers asking price.

You don't want to seem dumb asking too little for the car. Could be a situation where the wife says sell the car, so you keep raising the price so it never sells. Husband says not my fault that no one knows a bargain when they see it.

While the current price on this car might have been a decent price about 5 years ago, there has a bit of a price slump post Covid and with the current economy. I think this one, in that condition, is not quite worth that price in today's market. If someone has $16,500 to spend on a nice driver quality 1937 Buick sedan, they should contact me about my 1937 Century Model 61. I don't really need to sell it, but I could use some more space in the garage and owning two 1937 Buicks, the Model 61 just does not get driven enough these days.

How about giving us a peek at your 37-61?

It is a dependable driver. The old lacquer repaint has plenty of cracks and scratches. It looks good from 10-20 feet away, but is far from perfect looking. I have many more photos available that I can email to any potential buyer.
