Projects Finaly after almost 45 years i now own a 1941 Buick Sedanette

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by Norrland, Sep 5, 2026.

  1. Dreams can come true. In 1981 or 82 i saw a story about Lee Pratts 41 Sedanette in a Streetroddermagazine. Just loved that car and said to myself that one day i will have my own 41 Sedanette. Today i made my dream come true. Drove the car it almost 200 miles home. Most of the time in heavy rain.

    I love when a car gets driven home on the first day of ownership.

    Very nice acquisition!

  9. Happy for you.

  10. Just drive to begin with. Mild kustomtouches will come in the future and properbly also replace the 3 speed with an automatic so the wife can drive it. But for now just drive and smile

  11. It’s the greatest feeling. Remember when i bought a 1961 Silver Hawk in Southern Sweden some years ago. Drove it around 800 miles to get home.
