    Hi all, I've been in love with 56 Buicks for a long while and I think I've found a good car that I'm very interested in getting. It is located in Monroe, Wisconsin and I am hoping to find someone in the area who would be willing (for a fee) to go take a look and make sure its on the up and up and as pictured/advertised. Any ideas?

    My cars: 59 Chevy Apache Truck (restored)
    57 Chevy Cameo (restored)
    57 Bel Air 2 Dr HT (I got it back in running order, needs a total restoration but I'm having fun driving it around as is)
    57 Corvette (total basket case project, I've got the frame done)

    I had always wanted a 58 Impala too but I saw 56 Buick Century in California some time back and fell in love. I've let a few projects slip by over the years but I've decided I just want a nice car that I get to enjoy now and maybe improve. I've always been hung up on two doors but over time, I've grown on the 4 dr Buick which is what this car is.

    Yes, That is the car! I've talked to the guy and technically he is the third owner.

    What services has anyone used? With my work restrictions due to COVID, there is no way I can go myself without talking 14 days off using my leave time or no pay for going out of local area.

    Post a thread on here with a title like "Anyone in the Monroe, WI area that can look at a car" and you may have some luck. Guys on here are pretty helpful although may/may not be knowledgeable about 50's cars. Nice looking car and IIRC the Century back then was one of the fastest cars around.
