Rolling into the 1930s, Buick was riding high; their confidence
boosted after a series of highly successful years. The late 1920s
had been quite good for General Motors' cornerstone marque, readily
achieving top-five results in the sales charts.
With only 463 units produced, this car is gorgeous in every aspect
and demands immediate attention. The attention to detail throughout
the restoration is stunning. This handsome flagship series 60 model
65 was purchased by its current owner in un-restored condition out
of Chicago in 1986 and was professionally restored by David
Griffioen in 1992. After its restoration the car won 1st place at
the Buick Nationals.
The engine compartment is highly detailed and polished to a shine.

are clear and in good condition. The steering wheel is in good
condition and is not cracked. The car rides on 19 inch wire wheels
with Custom Classic 6.50-19 wide whitewall tires with dual fender

and shows very well. It is a rare, highly attractive, and
