Vehicle Description
1933 Buick Series 50 Model 57 is wonderfully colorful, highly
authentic, and has a jaunty style we rarely see anymore.
Mid-30s classics are always a special presentation. We were still
in The Great Depression, and a style like this was seen as an
extravagance fewer could afford. Today this restored sedan proves
this lavishness with a tasteful and bright two-tone green paint
design. The light and dark green are expertly intertwined as it
highlights some of the best features in the car. This includes the
flowing fenders, full-length style line, folding external trunk
rack, and full-size spare embedded in each front fender. While we
all love the look of whitewalls, people might be even more
impressed by the color coordination of the wheels, where even the
Buick center cap is green. Even the black rubber on the running
boards match the top of the roof. It's a total package that leaves
a lasting impression.
A broadcloth interior with plenty of room means you're getting the
best of true old-school luxury. Sure, Buick wasn't producing Pierce
Arrow levels of prestige, but we cannot help but think upper class
when we see how nice the button top plush seats are. Plus, the
matching door panels and wood trim really make this one a special
place to log in some miles. While you could enlist a chauffeur, you
would miss out on the time machine feeling of grabbing the large
three-spoke steering wheel and watching the factory gauges dance as
you amble on down the road.
Buick's 230 cubic-inch straight-eight is likely to draw a crowd
with its impressive long block. And while the green block looks
like it's part of this car's upgraded color package, it's actually
correct for Buicks of this era. In fact, this is believed to be the
original motor. Anyone looking at the engine bay will easily
believe this thanks to a highly authentic presentation - right down
to the tag on the generator. Best of all, this torquey motor makes
that proper 1930s sound going down the byways - you know, that
invigorating rhythmic chug. You also can handle around-town driving
without breaking a sweat thanks to the synchronized three-speed
manual transmission.
We just don't see Buicks like this anymore. So you might want to
call today, or you might regret it tomorrow.
