Leif in Calif Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 "all the money" as they say, but no doubt a fraction of what's been spent on it. (More pics in ad) https://phoenix.craigslist.org/nph/cto/d/phoenix-1931-buick-coupe/7710288155.html Restored 1931 Buick Model 50 Business Coupe. The car has had a frame off restoration. The car drives like a new 1931 Buick Business Coupe. It has 5 white wall tires that are like new. All Chrome has been redone. Leather Upholstery, Tan cloth top. This is not a convertible. Offers will be considered. (602) 432-0935 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjmarzoli Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Virtually every surface is painted the wrong color or upholstered in the wrong material. Smallest and least desirable '31 Buick. Price is sky high. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
28anut Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 What is the deal with all the bright red antiques lately? Save the "resale red" for sports cars. Bright red antiques fit into the same category as baby blue/dark blue and tan/brown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bright red antiques fit into the same category as baby blue/dark blue and tan/brown All fads from a different era. The Tan/Brown was a 70s early 80s thing. The red was mid 80s to mid 90s. Not sure about the baby blue. This is why you go with period correct colors because they never go out of style. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find the red less objectionable than the other two color schemes, just because I like the color in general. It is not really appropriate though. I do not like baby blue or puke brown under any circumstances or on any car. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gearheadengineer Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 The red is a non-starter for me. IMO it just doesn’t look right on cars of this era. Luckily there are lots of different tastes out there. It looks like a LOT of work went into this car. Hopefully someone likes the red and feels this is a great car for the collection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsancle Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 I think dumping the whitewalls would help tremendously. But I always say that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSP 530 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 I plead guilty to painting my Buick red and black, only after not being able to match the early maroon red. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
