kingrudy Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 I had to stop the video halfway through because I could not stand listening to the salesman's excessive use of superlatives in describing this car. It's a nice car, no doubt, but it is a Special that has been restored all the way. I laughed to myself when he stated that everything works, but sometimes you have to lift the windows up a bit to get them started and then mentioned the windshield wipers don't work. This is the entry level Buick for 1956. It is not a Century, or a Roadmaster. Nice car, but optimistically priced at 37K IMO. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suchan Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 The red headliner makes the interior look weird and claustrophobic-is that original? Either the dealer is reaching for the stars, or the consignor is trying to recover some of the restoration cost. Not that any Special hardtop is worth $37K, but at that price, there's no question that everything should work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
