1950 Buick Special Four Door Sedan

Description for Buick Other 1950

1950 Buick Special I bought this car several years ago. The good part was a decent interior and it ran very well. I got into the body work and found the rusted through rocker panels amoung every thing else. Extensive bodywork tollowed. including welding in new rocker panels. rebuilding the doors where rusted through and many other repairs before putting on shiny fresh black paint. A previous owner had patched the floors and put in the upholstery and rugs. but I did rebuld the front seat as it sunk down too far to see over the steering wheel. A number of pieces werre rebuilt/rechromed. especially the two bullets in the front grill as the bottoms were sheared off. New bullets were obtained and the four bullets made into two. probably better quality than the factory in 1950. New emblems were put in the rechromed front and resr bezels. A new headliner was put in and new kick panels giving a very nice interior to match the outside and the pleasant and easy starting an driving this car gives. It could use new springs. but I have obtained used ones from a correct vehicle and they are included. A period radio was in the trunk. but as the car was delivered without one. so I did not install it and do not know if it works. The underfloor heater and defroster warm the car up very well in the winter and the heat does regulate with the heater control. The car starts remarkably easy and runs like a Buick should-quiet!
