Customs 1950 buick sedanette where too look?

hey guys, can you guys give me some ideas on where to look for a good original project 50 buick sedanette? besides ebay...

 

Here or in the US?

Over here, try Just Cars or Just Parts magazine.

 

both depends on the car

 

cool thanks

 

How about the H,A.M.B. cl***ified. Hotrod hot line cl***ified, Hemmings Motor News.com for starters

 

Here is one I just saw in a salvage yard in Springfield, MA



I don't know what condition it is in but from this angle it looks like it is mostly there

 

From the C pillar , that looks more like a sedan rather than a sedanette.
I'd call to verify...

 

It is and more than a bit rough when AusBuick was asking for suggestions on finding a "Good" sedanette. Which to me means a presentable running and driving one that is complete.

AusBuick,they show up at shows and swap meets once in a while. One thing you might do if you haven't already is join one of the Buick online forums that caters to that model of Buick more than the the Grand Nationals or later stuff. You might want to stay mum on wanting to customize one though.

Search engines work too. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&...&aqi=g2g-v4g-b1&aql=t&oq=1950+buick+sedanette A lot of those adds are pretty old though.

 

try dans old cars at www.dansoldcaremporium.com he can help you out

 

"Hemmings Motor News" would be a GOOD place to look as Padorey stated.....

 

old car trader is another source. those are not easy cars to find. there was a really nice body for sale at the Portland Swapmeet. it was missing susp but the body was nice.. great patina. would have loved to bring it home and put a different ch***is under it.

 

I am not talking about the black one closest to me, but the green one which is a 50 based on the fact that the ports are on the hood.

 

The correct URL for Dan's old cars

speters, that is a coupe/ hardtop, not a sedanette (fastback) but it is a buick

 

What yard is that 50 at in Springfield? I'm in CT and I need pieces!

sorry mate i want a 50 buick sedanette builder not a show car and not modified because we can not import modified cars anymore..
i have been looking for about 10 months and most of the time people say it too hard to deal with shipping co's.

 

hi buddy it looks like a 2 door hard top riviera to me, but its along the lines that i'm after, but i need a roller, shipping co's like to have them drivers. but i'll have to see what comes up. cheers

 

my buddy has one he might sell, i could ask him for ya. he has done a little work on it. it has a 350/350 which might be a pain in the *** for ya since im getting ready to dismantle a 34 that is going your way..although i think the smallblock is before your 80's alteration cutoff.

 

hi mate,
yeah could you send me some pics? what sort of cash is he looking for?
and would he pull the motor and trany out? i just don't want to risk being knocked back.
cheers

i found one that is not to far from me, but the add is about a month old. i sent the guy an email to see if it was still for sale. its a restoration, so you wouldnt have a problem with customs. i tried linking it but it wouldnt work. its on Craigslist in Orange County and i just typed in 1950 buick...

I wanted a Cadillac Sedanette for a long time. I waited for the right one to find me but that never happened. For about two years(pre internet for me) I looked seriously. I joined the Cadillac Club, watched their newsletter cl***ifieds and asked around at meetings. I checked auto trader type publications. I made a number of trips to check out possibilities listed in Hemmings and other old car publications. The car I bought I found out about from a customer. One of his co-workers had it and needed the garage space for something else. It was only a few miles from my house, it was exactly what I wanted, and the price was fair. If there is any point to the above, it is, you don't know where your car might be, so ask around and look in as many places as you can.

 

There's a guy living up here in Campbelltown, NSW. He has two 50's Buick sedanettes, a fastback and a 49 sedanette. I was gonna buy a '50 off him, but, how can I be diplomatic about this...the deal soured... I ended up chasin' one on ebay and bought a '50 custom, but now Dotars has put me in the too hard basket and the guy who is selling it has decided to relist it. I hope you had better luck than me.

 

Send me your e-mail address and will send you some info on 2 or 3 of them. my e-mail is sp1ke@embarqmail.com.
