THE STORY: CURRENT OWNER PURCHASED THIS 1937 BUICK IN 2000 FROM A FELLOW BUICK CLUB MEMBER. IN 2007 OWNERS DECIDED TO DO A NICE RESTORATION CHOOSING ORIGINAL COLORS PAINT CHIP SHEETS AND AVAILABLE BROCHURES AND INFORMATION. THE HUSBAND WAS STRICKEN WITH CANCER. HE MADE OUT A LIST OF WHO SHOULD PERFORM WORK ON THE CAR AND WHERE TO PURCHASE ITEMS FOR THE RESTORATION. HUSBAND PASSED IN 2009 NEVER SAW FINISHED BUICK. WIFE CONTINUES THE RESTORATION PROCESS PER HUSBANDS LIST. BUICK RESTORATION COMPLETED IN EARLY 2012 FIVE YEARS IN PROCESS. UPON COMPLETION A NEIGHBOR OFFERS TO HELP THE WIDOW EXERCISE THE CAR PERIODICALLY, THAT WORKED FOR SOME TIME. NOW THE CAR NEEDS TO GO TO ANOTHER PERSON THAT WILL TAKE THE BUICK OUT AND SHARE IT AND GO TO THE BUICK AND OTHER CAR SHOWS.
SO IF YOU ARE READY TO GO TO THE SHOWS AND ARE TIRED OF WAITING FOR YOUR RESTORATION PROJECT TO BE FINISHED , THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO GET IN AND DRIVE THE SAME DAY. OIL AND FILTER AND FUEL HAVE BEEN CHANGED OUT AND BUICK HAS BEEN ON THE ROAD FOR ABOUT 4 MONTHS AND IS READY TO DO THE 2016 TOURS AND SHOWS ANYWHERE YOU WANT TO DRIVE THE BUICK.
DURING THE RESTORATION THE COUPLE PURCHASED A 2008 F250 4X4 CREW CAB LONG BED 6.4 DIESEL AND A 20 FOOT ENCLOSED TRAILER. THIS WAS TO BE THEIR RETIREMENT TRAVEL TO NATIONAL BUICK MEETS AND OTHER CAR SHOWS, EVEN GOT THE PERIOD CLOTHING. SO THESE TWO ITEMS ARE ALSO FOR SALE AT THIS TIME. THE 2008 F250 HAS ONLY 25, 975 MILES AND HAS ALL THE OPTIONS INCLUDING NAVIGATION AND BACK UP CAMERA. IT IS ALSO LISTED ON EBAY AT THIS TIME.
