auburnseeker Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 Looks like an inner rocker or quarter. Actually for a Northeast car, it's pretty clean underneath. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smartin Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 I see no rot. But I an suspicious of the body work on the wheel opening. Its distorted and likely made of mud. Careful. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could end up at a flipper's yard for double the price--say $25,999--with a stated mileage of only 56,000! In another thread, I documented just that with an (allegedly) disreputable dealer. I hope this Buick went to a good Buick family who now have an old car to enjoy. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skylark4367 Posted 12 hours ago Share Posted 12 hours ago The car sold in the car corral at Hershey. I saw the car and was going to ask the owner some questions, but he said he sold it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
