https://m.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s-a...erstbeitz-originalzustand/1153372156-216-5919 Sharing this lead, knowing that it is probably only of serious interest to our European members. Seller claims it is all original one owner car. Wow 67years.... And only 38000miles on It.... The pictures are nice albeit some are missing e.g. from the underside, engine. What do you guys think about the price? If legit I would think it is probably worth it. Patrick
Thanks for the article Erik, I think the proper term for it would be "Quatsch". The whole story sounds a bit "out there", and not very plausible. I had an original condition Buick from 1946 in Canada, and it originally came up from Arizona in 1982, nothing from that era has survived the winters here intact without seeing a serious restoration. So I'd say the likelihood of one surviving is slim to none, even in BC on the coast where the climate is bearable. Even winter storage of cars is difficult unless it spends time in a climate controlled environment. I used to work with a museum, and our cars were all stored under cover but at ambient temperature, and they rusted like shipwrecks. We live in a cold dry climate here, most of the rest of the country is significantly "wetter"but just as cold. The photos weren't the greatest, and I could be wrong, but the fabric on the lower door part almost looks like a 1980's GM fabric pattern like you'd find in a Citation of the period. I also don't think the Super was made in Canada; they built a lot of Specials up in Oshawa, but I thought the senior series were always built in the US, the article says it's Canadian production. But, I could be wrong, and I'm sure you'll have the info at your fingertips if I am.
Thanks Erik for digging up that article. Good reading. So first owner from 1951 t0 2018 second owner shipped it to Austria and then sold it. Hence the one currently selling it is at least 3rd owner. Nevertheless it might look like low-mileage 1one-owner car. Unfortunately it doesnt mention where in Canada it survived for 67yrs. @Erik: interesting what you are saying about the Dutch TÜV. My car once was registered in the Netherlands. If I could find the licence plate no. that might clear some of the history? Patrick
