This car has the original look with Patina. This car has been in dry storage since I have owned it. Clean title.I bought his car out of Texas because of its good solid body several years ago. No rust, runs and drives great, very quiet, and just a very good car overall. Just squirt a little starting fluid into the carb and she cranks right up! This is a very nice example of the 1950 Buick fastback Sedanette. I have noticed that if I let it sit for an extended period of time without starting it, it take longer to start. There is a secondary fuel filter just before the carburetor and as long as you see gas in the filter, the car will. Radiator is in great shape, the battery is in great shape, all hoses are just about new and she generally will start on the first press of the gas pedal. I have driven the car and have not noticed any unusual "shaking or vibration from the front end. I have not driven this car "hard" but the straight eight motor, hooked up to the "Dynaflow automatic transmission will take you on a nice cruise down the road. These motors are slightly smaller than the big Buick Roadmaster motors, but they are still very powerful. The engine of this sadanette is the straight eight Buick motor. If it slips and falls on a hand or finger, well, just PLEASE BE CAREFUL WHEN OPENING THE HOOD ON THESE TYPES OF BUICKS. Hood is very heavy and one would need to be very careful and not place your hand or fingers in danger by locating them under the hood as you lift it. (The hood will open from either side of these Buicks (left or right). Next, pull either of the "hood handles" located on either side of the front corners of the interior and the corresponding side of the outside hood will pop up. Let me repeat, everything on the inside of the car looks factory new. The high powered heater is located underneath the passenger seat and with the car on, and the heater turned on, you are equipped to withstand the coldest of winters. All chrome on the inside of this Buick shines like new money including the instrument cluster dial surrounds, the steering column pieces, door handles and the massive chrome assembly that houses some panel pieces and the Buick radio. I don't believe that the clock works and I have not bothered it. Interior light works, instrument panel lights work, glove box light works. She also wears new carpet front and rear. Again, all of the interior of this Buick has been professionally done including the window lace, door trim, etc. The headliner was a part of the restoration is not sagging, although you can see some looseness there.
The padding on both seats (front and rear) feels as new and I don't believe that there have been many people in the car since the restoration. As you move towards the front of this jewel and open either of the two doors you will see an interior that you know has been restored to factory standard. The rubber seals around the trunk were apparently part of the restoration job on this car as well as the door rubber trim. The ignition key operates the truck and the glove box. parts in a box and tools, a brand new, never been on the ground "General" whitewall bias tire that perfectly matches the other four tires on the ground. Open the trunk and you will find, along with a fire extinguisher and some misc. From front to rear this Buick looks fantastic. This was the only year that Buick featured the huge "teardrop" front grill and this grill alone could be hung on a museum wall as a featured display. The chrome bumpers (both front and rear) are in remarkable condition and shine brightly. Car has the stainless steel standard trim on the body with some slight discoloration on some of the stainless along the lower portion of the right front windshield. They are whitewalls and are stock bias (non radials). It is in unbelievably nice condition and the dark paint finish is of a very high state. This is the Buick Special, two door model sadenette, which many affectionados call the "fastback" Buick.
