To me though, I would pay the most for the jetback simply because the lines of a jetback are amazingly cool from a design standpoint. I guess that's just the opinion of the masses and I could see why a 2 door would bring more solely based on that fact. I remember being shocked and amazed the first time I heard somebody trash talking a beautiful car just because it had 4 doors. Thinking one was better than the other never entered my mind. If it's a cool car with great lines I liked it regardless of how many doors it had. Growing up, I never made any distinction between the two. So you guys don't think the jetback would bring more? I've never understood that thing people have about 2 doors being better than 4 doors. Not all of us have photographic memories, so here are examples of the models under discussion here. In fact, they're often used as parts cars in the rebuilding of flashier models. Sadly, unless they're found in superb original condition or have a strong family story, big 4-door sedans don't usually get restored (my own being an exception). Not to snub the stately, sensible Super Deluxe Tourback Sedan model 52, it can't hold a candle to the flash and dash of the other two presented here. The rear styling is just terrific and would eventually outweigh one's fear of backing up, without being able to see a danged thing. On the other side of the brain, if you're hoping to fall in love with a car, the Special Deluxe 43D 4-door Jetback Sedan could be a front-runner. That's the sensible choice, if you've got the three to pick from. They generally cost the same to restore as any other regular body style. Anything that lacks back doors and fixed B-pillars brings top dollar when nicely refinished.

The seller mentions some chips in the body varnish at the filled joints as shown in the photos.JAMES, the Super Riviera 56R 2-door hardtop is the hands-down favourite of 'the masses'. The underside of the car is shown here and more extensively in the gallery below. An Ionia Manufacturing tag is found on the passenger side of the front seat fascia and Ionia is stamped on the body plate.РІР‚в„ў Back at Buick the body was mounted on the frame/powertrain and a front clip was installed to complete the vehicle. Ionia installed all interior fittings including a second-row folding seat which was unique to the Estate Wagons. In 1950 the sedan body would have had the roof removed, the C pillars revised, wood framing added for the D pillar and a wagon body and a new roof stamping installed to complete the job. The bodies were trucked to Owosso where they were cut apart, the station wagon features added, trimmed-out and trucked back to Flint for final assembly on the Buick line. Body shells left the Fisher Body plant in Flint, Michigan in an unfinished state. The rear features a two-piece wood tailgate for access to the carpeted cargo area.Р”В¬ool model history provided by the seller: РІР‚ВBuick Estate Wagons in the 1950s were manufactured in association with Ionia Manufacturing Company headquartered in Owosso, Michigan.

One special accessory is the functional spotlamp on the driver side mirror. One of the coolest features is the side-hinged hood that can tilt from either side to access the Fireball Dynaflash straight-8 engine. The car was recently serviced by the local Buick dealer in Grand Blanc, Michigan. Carpets are wool throughout including in the cargo area. The interior features two bench seats, each upholstered in green leather, and matching leather door panels. The seller will include extensive restoration records, a video of it at the restoration shop, an image of it in Round-up, Montana.

The Super Estate was the most expensive and lowest production model in the Super line at $2,844.00. This 1950 Super Estate is one of 2,480 built that year. The vehicle is offered with extensive restoration records in Flint, Michigan with a clean Michigan title in the sellerРІР‚в„ўs name. The body was removed from the frame for the extensive restoration and was refinished in the original Kashmir Green Metallic paint. It is powered by a 263 cubic inch Fireball straight-8 with a Dynaflow automatic transmission. It had only 350 miles on the restoration at that time, and the seller has added another 1000 bringing the mileage indicated to 1400. This 1950 Buick Super Estate was restored at the direction of a Buick Club of America board member who owned the car before the current seller bought it 5 years ago.
