auburnseeker Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Don't forget to add the famous flipper photo of it still on the roll back. Also a shot of the front seat would be more important. I've only had one car where the back seat was much worse than the front and that was due to a raccoon getting trapped in the back. Not sure why it left the front seat unscathed but boy it absolutely shredded the rear seat. Does look like a very nice car though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil morse Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 This looks like a really solid car, assuming the information about its originality is accurate. Being a Buick man myself, I would be happy to check this car out on behalf of any members who may be interested. Vallejo is just up the road from me in SF. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drhach Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 My Son must be a raccoon. He rides in the back seat and he spills way more stuff than the adults in the front do. I would expect a front seat on a car to be cleaner just from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Front seats almost always get more wear, just because they are used and slid in and out of alot more. Especially with the older less durable fabrics, they will show much more wear on probably 99% of cars of this vintage from what I have seen of cars for sale.

drhach Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 I would think a designated kid hauler would probably have more tears and stains in the back. But I only have my personal experience to draw upon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnseeker Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Designated kid haulers rarely look overall like this Buick. Usually they weren't cared for all that well when new, again for the most part. They were more like appliances even years ago than treasured old cars. One of the reasons it's so hard to find nice wagons. That's the market most were geared toward and used/ abused accordingly even though they were often one of the most expensive cars of that time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesR Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 That car looks very nice. Black early fifties Buicks always look good when they're clean, straight and shiny. Best wishes to both seller and buyer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBRMD Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Why are there six pics from right or right front, and none of the left or rear ? Hate that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deac Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 I see this $12,000 car for what it is.... It is a 1951 Buick special, 4 door. It is the base model and NOT a Riviera. and It's got the smaller straight 8 with a DynaFlow transmission. We've all heard the phrase 'they're only original once' so that might speak for an additional $2000. The seller's asking way too much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
