Meu saudoso pai, falecido em 1977 trabalhava com um modelo igual, aqui em minha cidade, Belo Horionte, Minas Gerais, Brasil e tinha as placas vermelha, pois era um taxi com numero 1.
so this i what the 48 buick looks look my father said had one for his fiirst car is was a rag top with a Straight 8 in it he worked at a mobil gas statsion in north jersey and the owner there was asking $80 or $100 he let him have it for $50 after a few weeks he whent and got what they called back then state plates and drove it home he said my grandfather was pissed that he when and got a car without checking with him first and told him he could keep it there so he had to park it up the street
I just bought a '48 for 2k in Huron SD. Body is solid. engine is there. Trim is all there but 1 piece. Dash looks pretty darn awesome. Not my first project, but first car I can call my own:) Im 26, a mom, a college student, and this video just excites me more for the long long project ahead. The car in this video looks amazing.
I had one of those about 5 years ago or so, I used to drive it every day to work for 5 years...it was in original condition, you can see it in my video, look for:
20 years from now these cars will still be thrilling. Do you really believe that we will be swooning over old Toyotas, Hondas or other crappy tinnny imports?
I own a lot of collector cars also in various stages of restoration. The Buick and Cadillac fastbacks (sedanettes) are my favorite body style in this era. I do have a 1949 Buick Roadmaster, unrestored as of yet, solid, runs great, going to paint it in a couple months.
Gorgeous Buick Roadmaster, plus it sounds great mechanically. To me, 1948 is the best year for post WWII era American automobiles. There were so many fantastic models from various manufacturers that year. There were the gorgeous Cadillacs, modern new style Packards and Hudsons, the Pontiac and Chevy sedanettes, etc. I am so envious. Thanks for posting this.
My crazy neighbor has this very same car rotting in his car repair shop. The inspection sticker is from 1959, it is too bad he will not restore it like the car in the video
The first person of whom I was aware of dying as a five year old in 1949 was Cecil McLellan (1900-1949). His wife Lucille showed me their light cream '48 Roadmaster Sedanet with Dynaflow sitting in from of their home on Hubby in Waco, Texas (my father was a car dealer and I was already aware of cars). On July 3, 1949, Cecil drove the car while intoxicated under an 18-wheeler in Dallas, TX, shearing off the top of the car and decapitating him. Lucille bought a blue '50 Special to replace it.
Belo Horizonte, fazendo devida correção!
