Vehicle Description
I'm impressed with the overall condition of this 1939 Buick. It was
sold to the gentleman I bought it from as an original "survivor
car" and they believe that it's 54,616 original miles. Now has
56,421 miles showing. There is no way to prove that. I will tell
you that the car is pretty amazing for the fact that almost
everything works. The cigarette lighter works, the dome light does
not. Maybe Old School Garage will get it working when they do the
service and safety check. The trunk light works. I could not get
the fog lights to turn on but Joe will. You won't believe how
smooth the doors close. The engine is an eight cylinder 107 hp 248
cu.in. It runs very well but it has been rebuilt. Right now it has
an exhaust manifold leak so it is noisy. Joe has found an exhaust
manifold for it already. The transmission and clutch operate
smoothly. Did you know that Buick was the first car with turn
signals? The Buick emblem on the trunk lid is where the turn
signals are and they were just fine. From 5 feet away you would
think the paint is beautiful but it is not. It has been repainted
at sometime. The interior could be all original except for the
cloth wind seals around the doors. They just look too good to be
original. It has jump seats in the back that fold up, out of the
way for more storage. Another thing that works is the seat
adjustment. It was smooth and they are almost always frozen up. The
seat moves freely back-and-forth when you go to position it for
your comfort. The trunk looks all original. It has the spare tire
and jack. The chrome looks good but not perfect. It has BFGoodrich
wide whites. The Buick is just in and needs to go to Old School
Garage so Joe can make it a very pleasurable car to drive. I think
you'll be very surprised how smooth and nice this car is to drive.
