Description of 1948 Buick Other

You're bidding on a Buick Super Convertible; New Upholstery, Convertible Top, lutch. The engine and rear-end, ront suspensionfreshened up.This particular Buick retains its original black paint from the doors backwhile having new upholstery (front fenders and hood repainted in the last 4 months). No bondoorrust holes in this car.This Buick has been written up in several magazines and has even had a write up by noted automotive writer Tom Strongman.The chrome and stainless is all in good condition for its age. There are minor imperfections such as scratching but overall shows well. The newer black, artz style, ower convertible top is in excellent condition and it looks great on the Buick. The Hydro-electric top and windowswork perfectly (see video link below). Inside, he interior has been freshly reupholstered andcompliments the black.The door panels are in comparable condition. The red carpet is also in great condition. When the carpet was replaced there was an additional underlayment put down to reduce heat from the car into the interior. The underside of this car is very clean, ou can tell it has been garaged for most of its life. It houses a set of original gauges that also look great.Under the hood, ou'll find the inline 8 cylinder "Buick Fireball"engine, ated to the engine is a 3-speed "three on the tree"manual transmission. The engine was rebuilt in the recent past and converted to a 12 volt system for convenience. The front suspension was rebuilt byan older Buick specialist out of Iowa. He also changed the rear gears from the original 4.56 to 3.90 gears. This allows the car to run at highway speeds and keep the RPMs lower. The car sits upon a newer set of 15"Tru-Spoke wire wheels with Buick center caps wrapped in P235/75R15 white wall radial tires. The VIN is 24875518. It is being sold on a clean and clear mileage exempt Texastitle.

As with any older vehicle, recommend you come see it or have inspected if you prefer before you buy. I cannot express how much attention this car gets and howgreat it rides and drives.

Will help buyer with shipping options.
