theconvertibleguy Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 (edited) I wish this wasn't a day's drive away from me, because this is just my jam, even with that really aggressive looking grill. I've never seen a convertible form this era made by Buick. Like ever. Chevy products from this time period seem ot be rare around here, and a Buick less so. https://www.kijiji.ca/v-classic-cars/winnipeg/51-buick-convertible-mint-condition/1693103622 Edited October 2 by theconvertibleguy (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Wells Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Early '50's Buicks can be attractive, reasonably affordable cars. Unfortunately, this one is neither. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's on par with most Ford's and Merc's of that era I've found, at least up here. Will definitely agree that grill is oof Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Wells Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 (edited) Here are two '51 convertibles that I consider having more attractive colors. It's interesting to note the different rear bumpers and backup light arrangement on each car. The 1951 Buick brochures for both the US and Canada picture the backup lights integrated into the bumper guards, even the station wagon, same as the 1950 models. The subject dark red convertible appears to have different rear bumper and it's backup lights attached to the body panel below the trunk. The rear emblem is located higher on the trunk lid than the others, with the lock below. Also, the subject car has what look like '60's Buick wheel center caps attached to the rear quarter panels...strange. I still feel that CA$39,500. (US$28,726.) is optimistic, at least in the US. ...from the 1951 Buick sales brochure Edited April 18 by Dave Wells (see edit history) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidinCA Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 The subject car is a Buick Special, the others are either a Roadmaster (4 ventiports) or a Super (3 ventiports). Roadmasters and Supers used a different and larger body than the Special. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suchan Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 If the car had a lighter color top (tan, etc.), something besides 1 inch whitewalls, and the seller had made an effort to clean it up, especially the engine bay, the asking price might be in the ballpark. No interior photos? My favorite year of the 1950-53 Buicks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theconvertibleguy Posted May 11 Author Share Posted May 11 Potentially relisted, as I can't picture that many 51 Buick in Manitoba. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
