1948 Buick Super Convertible

Description

• Three Owner Buick Super!
• Newer Upholstery, Convertible Top & Clutch!
• Fresh Engine, Rear End & Front End!

MotoeXotica Classic Cars is pleased to present yet another handsome 1948 Buick Super Convertible. This particular Buick retains its original black paint while having new upholstery, convertible top and clutch as well as a freshened up engine, rear end and front suspension!

This wonderful classic has had three previous owners. The gentleman we bought the car from says this car was his father’s pride and joy. He purchased the car from the second owner in Washington state and then drove it home to Kansas City – how’s that for some serious faith in an old car! This special Buick has been written up in several magazines and has even had a write up by noted automotive writer Tom Strongman. It’s ready for its next chapter!

The body and paint on this car are both original from 1948. It is amazing to see a car that is this old still rocking the original paint – and looking good while doing it. It is not showroom perfect – the paint is 65 years old! Some areas show where the paint has rubbed thin, along with some scratches and rock chips, but overall it looks great with nice patina! Most people will stare at your with astonishment when they realize this is the original paint applied back in 1948! The chrome and stainless is all in pretty good condition for its age. There are minor imperfections such as scratching and some pitting but overall shows well. The newer black, Hartz style power convertible top is in excellent condition and it looks great on the Buick.

Inside, the interior has been freshly reupholstered in the recent past and looks great. The rich, red interior is in great condition and compliments the black, original paint on the exterior beautifully. The vinyl is easy to care for, looks great and the seats are comfortable. The door panels are in comparable condition. The red carpet is also in great condition. When the carpet was replaced, there was an additional underlayment put down to reduce heat from the car into the interior. The dashboard appears to be original and is color matched to the exterior. It is dressed up with the original chrome accents that look great. It houses a set of original gauges that also look great. There is also a SunPro temperature gauge mounted beneath the dashboard, a clock and an AM radio.

Under the hood, you’ll find the inline 8 cylinder “Buick Fireball” engine. Mated to the engine is a 3-speed “three on the tree” manual transmission. The engine was rebuilt in the recent past and converted to a 12 volt system for convenience. The front suspension was rebuilt by John Hemmingway, an older Buick specialist out of Iowa. He also changed the rear gears from the original 4.56 to 3.90 gears. This allows the car to run at highway speeds and keep the RPMs lower. The car sits upon a newer set of 15” Tru-Spoke wire wheels with Buick center caps wrapped in P235/75R15 white wall radial tires that look great and even better – make this “Rainman” machine cruise smoothly down the road!

This is a very special and awesome 1948 Buick Super Convertible. It could continue to be a classic driver or find a home in just about any nostalgic car collection. The VIN is 24875518 and the mileage currently shows 7,463. It is being sold on a clean and clear, mileage exempt Iowa title. GET OUT AND DRIVE!

Motoexotica Classic Cars has been a part of eBay Motors since 1999 and has maintained a great reputation and 100% positive feedback. We would like to keep it that way for future customers! The Vehicle is being sold by a Licensed State of Missouri Dealer (Motoexotica Classic Cars, LLC). You will need to check with your local government for any special rules regarding these older vehicles passing any inspections. We will not be held liable for any vehicle not passing inspection.

The vehicle is offered with a right to a personal inspection by any bidder or agent. If you or an agent upon completion of a scheduled inspection at our St. Louis location finds the car not to your liking, we will refund your deposit with no questions asked. Feedback MUST be left before the vehicle is released to the buyer/agent/shipper. If you are the high bidder and unable to inspect said vehicle before auction close, you or an agent will have seven (7) days to inspect said vehicle after the close of auction. I encourage a physical inspection strongly to avoid any misunderstandings or representations.

All disputes arising out of or resulting from this sale shall be finally determined by binding arbitration in St. Louis, Missouri in accordance with the commercial rules of arbitration of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitration shall be carried out by one or more arbitrators in accordance with said rules. Any award shall be enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction in the same manner as judgments. This agreement to arbitrate shall survive the sale of the automobile described herein. Buyer and Seller hereby agree that Missouri law shall control for all purposes under this Bill of Sale. Buyer and Seller hereby consent to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts of Missouri to specifically enforce the agreement to arbitrate and to enter judgment of and enforce the award of the arbitrator. All above terms and conditions are applied to vehicle sales, whether through EBay or otherwise.

Payment Terms

Payment must be made by Cashiers Check, Money Orders or Wire Transfers payable in US Dollars. A Refundable deposit in the amount of $500.00 must be received within Twenty-Four (24) hours of the auctions close either by Master Card, Visa, Discover or PayPal (Credit Cards or PayPal for deposit only NOT for full payment). Purchaser cannot make any claims of ownership to said vehicle without payment in full. The buyer has seven (7) days from close of auction to inspect the vehicle. If an inspection or decision takes longer than seven days and you find the vehicle not to your liking, your deposit will be forfeited and the car will be relisted. Final payment must be received within ten (10) days of the auction close. The refundable deposit only applies if you or an agent inspect said vehicle in St. Louis and find it not to your liking. Documentation Fee: There will be a $195.00 fee added to each car sold. This includes title transfer, inventory tax, holding costs, vehicle preparation, storage and priority documentation delivery.

We will not be responsible for buyer’s remorse or problems found to said vehicle once they have left our property. We are just being realistic; most of the cars we deal in are vintage and by their very nature will need TLC and some degree of attention sooner or later. These are not new cars and your expectation should not be of a perfect, new car. Once full payment has been received, Seller will email or fax a copy of clear title, Bill of Sale, Buyers Guide and additional DMV forms to the Buyer to sign and return via email or fax. The fully-executed forms must be returned to the Seller prior to the shipment of said vehicle. Original paperwork will be sent to Buyer via USPS Priority Mail within ten (10) days from date of final payment.

Warranty

ALL SALES ARE FINAL WITH CAR BEING SOLD WHERE IS, AS IS! The vehicle is offered with a right to a personal inspection by any bidder or agent of any bidder. The vehicle is available for inspection prior to bidding. If you are the high bidder and unable to inspect said vehicle before auction close, you or an agent will have (7) days to inspect said vehicle after the close of auction. I encourage a physical inspection strongly to avoid any misunderstandings or representations. All used vehicles should be assumed to have some degree of wear. No vehicle is perfect to everyone. Each vehicle has its strengths, styles, tendencies and shortcomings. Therefore, despite our best efforts to verify a vehicle’s mechanical condition, we are not able to warranty a manufacturer’s workmanship or previous owner’s diligence in care. It is for this reason that all vehicles are sold ”WHERE/IS, AS/IS”. We have described the above mentioned vehicle to the best of our ability. However, with all classic and exotic vehicles, the condition is subjective. Please be advised that no oral or written statements concerning any vehicle constitutes a representation or warranty of the condition of the said vehicle.

INDUSTRY UNIQUE RETURN POLICY: If for any reason you receive your vehicle and have buyer’s remorse, are not happy with the vehicle or just don’t want it for any reason we will purchase the car back from you. We must be notified in writing of your decision to return the vehicle within seven (7) days of your receipt of said vehicle. The vehicle may not have more than 75 additional miles on the odometer from the time it left our possession and be returned in the same condition that it left.
