1952 Buick Super 8 Series 50 Riviera 2-Door postless hardtop. Presented in Apache Red with Glacier White top. This car is very classic and extremely collectible! It runs and drives with its original rebuilt 263 C.I. In-Line Fire Ball Eight engine and all power is transferred by its 2-Speed Dyna-Glide Automatic Transmission. This 2-Door Hardtop is an excellent example of a very original Buick with just 1 repaint in its original color of Apache Red and has been properly maintained by its previous owner who owned her for the last 27 years. All of the chrome front and rear to be in outstanding condition and all factory trim to be present and really nice. The interior is well above average condition with very presentable seats, door panels and also new carpeting front and rear. The headliner looks like new. There is some pitting on the dash. Still starts with the accelerator pedal. Really what this car needs to make really beautiful is a fresh paint job. It is hard to tell from the pictures but the paint has some fading and places where the clear coat is thin. I think when it was repainted the first time is was not a very high quality job. This car was parked for a year under a cover which caused paint on the trunk deck to peel. This would be an easy job. The body is straight and in great shape. There is only a couple of small bubbles in the paint. Car is really solid! Everything besides the windshield wipers seem to work. Some of the things the car could use are, New tires, the ones on it hold air fine and have good thread they just have some dry rotting on the sidewall. Rear window seal is dried out but not leaking. drivers side vent window has some cracks. There is a few trim pieces that have some pitting. Car was parked for awhile. Has a brand new battery and starts right up. I did drive it down the street and it seems to have some loss of power could be a carburetor. Car does have an exhaust leak (easy fix). All the floor pans, frame and trunk are in great shape. Has had new wheel cylinders. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. This car available for inspection with an appointment. Is located in Asheville NC. Car is being sold AS-IS where is. Thanks for looking. I also do have some more photos I can email. I am offering this car at NO Reserve to sell it!!! Happy Bidding !!
