1929 Buick Model 46
Rare 1929 Buick Coupe
Loss of storage facility forces this sale.
This car is not restored, and has been in dry storage, in Connecticut for approx. 45 years. The car is 98.5% complete, the car is solid, and with very limited rust and no rot or rust through. Minor items missing like rear trunk lock.
The upper body is wood frame and is sound, one minor upper corner joint that had dry rot has been repaired - mended. The cars steel framed chassis also solid. The car is free rolling on original steel rims. A newer set of Coker white wall tires included ( cost $900) - not yet installed. The engine has not been run or tested since it has been in storage. However, the front crank will turn the engine, so it appears free. The older no-detergent oil tends to keep many parts pretty clean and deters rusting. The Transmission is free and working.
Wood spoke wheels are sound and one is completely restored. Original Aluminum Hubcaps are clean and in excellent condition.A full set of spare wood spoked wheels are included in this package.
Some parts have been removed and are bagged - tagged. Pictures show condition when stored.
