Vehicle Detail

1952 Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon 79R Woodie RARE RARE RARE 1 of 359 Ever Built Straight 8 engine with DynoFlow Automatic TransmissionRuns and Drives Great! Daily Driver Condition! Being Sold at NO RESERVE! This is a beautiful car, fun to drive and gets a lot of attention. Mechanically SOLID, Body is SOLID, Wood... needs some help. Steers smoothly, shifts smoothly, brakes great, it simply glides down the road. Here are some youtube videos of it driving and walk around (add "http" in front of each link) ://youtu.be/KJVmBnEvQCs ://youtu.be/EY7XDEKEIIY ://youtu.be/mH3t4bZKT_M Lights work, All Gauges work, even the clock works! Even the fan under the seat works. Radio is out of the car, I was able to get the lights to turn on but it only picks up static. Newly upholstered seats, windshield is good, side windows have small cracks but they are not missing any pieces so any glass guy can remake them. Original 6 volt system, wiring looks good, even under the dash is the way it should be. No signs of anyone hacking/ splicing the wiring up. Has a new battery and it does not drain the battery, fires up on the first try even after its been sitting a while. The Victory Maroon paint is not the original but cleans up nice. This isnt a trailer queen but definitely car show worthy. No major rust issues, the only signs of possible rust are a few bubbles under the paint on the driver side rocker panel. Everything underneath is solid. It does have surfuce rust on the frame but can easily be cleaned up. Wheel wells, inside of the quarter panels and fenders are clean. I cant see any signs of patches, dents or filler. Paint has a few chips and blemishes (nothing serious) but in my opinion its better to have a car you can drive and enjoy instead of having to keep it locked up. The wood does need help, unfortunately it wasnt properly treated and so it rotted. I had someone test a piece of veneer applied to see how it would look as an option to fix the wood but now that ive decided to sell it, ill leave it up to the new owner to decide what path to take on the wood. I have tons small parts to go with it. I have the original battery warranty with the original buyer's information. I have a lot more pictures on photobucket of the underbody, interior, radio, extra parts... 123 pictures to be exact. (Add "http" in front of the link) ://s1380.photobucket.com/user/Buickroadmaster52/library/ Sold As-Is, I require $500 deposit with 24 hours of end of auction and payment in full within 5 days of end of auction. Via wire transfer, cashiers check or cash in person. All funds must clear my bank before car can leave.
