Gearheadengineer Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/297338559571075 1932 Buick 32-91 Club Sedan. The largest car offered by Buick in 1932. Has been in storage 50 years. The engine is stuck but the body has zero rust and zero wood rot. Doors open and close like a bank vault. Original upholstery is nice but not perfect. Has dual sidemounts and covers. It was rumored to be a featured car at one of the New York Auto Shows in 1932 having a very special paint code on the data plate (see photo). Colors are gray/green body with (rare) metallic gray fenders and turquoise wheels with chrome spokes. Please call Peter directly at [hidden information] to learn more. Price is $18,000 or a good cash offer. There are some more pics in the ad. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Den41Buick Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Wish I had a pile of cash to buy and restore this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Den41Buick Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 I just bought a Powerball ticket. If I win, instead of spending money on homes, I would rather spend my money on restoring this car! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcslr Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 I personally inspected this car today. Wood and body sounded and looked good. Needs a lot of work. Will be at Hershey. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossil Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Dang you just have to admit that the folks at Buick knew how to design a sharp looking car back then. That's practically art. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibarlaw Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 A few more photos from when he purchased the car over 10 years ago. Glad to see he finally put on the side mount covers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAKerry Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 I would have zero hesitation with that car concerning the paint and body, the motor not running on the other hand would scare me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is 50K *minimum* to have that car professional painted these days. The the chrome will look stupid so throw in another 50. Then the interior will look stupid so throw in another 50K. Then you still have to make it run. Best to do the mechanics and maybe you get lucky and for another 10k you are driving around. Worst case maybe 25K. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed that the economical decision for this car would be to make it a driver and live with the cosmetics. How hard is it to find a decent runner 1932 344 Buick 8 engine? No such thing as matching numbers here, correct? Installation of a 1933 or 1934 engine while not fitting the correct engine SN range would be an economical solution as well I suppose?

dibarlaw Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Several years ago the owner Peter and I went to look at a 90 series 1932 Victoria coupe outside of Pittsburgh, PA. The car had been a partially started restoration that had been abandonded and burried with piles of horded rubble. Photos are after sevearal dumpster loads had been removed. There were 2 partial chassis, a 1931 and a 1932 with complete 344 cu.in. engines in the deal. Someone else got it all. So they are out there. The chassis that were outside covered up. 1932 1931. Both appeared to have been from Hearse or Ambulance 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
