Beautiful restoration
Greetings from Tucson, Arizona USA.
Just discovered your channel.
You have a beautiful Roadmaster!
My 1st car memories began 1950 or so..
I was with Mama when she bought a 1950 Coronet Deluxe.
My gramma's sister had a 1951 Buick Super 4-door - all 4'9" and 98# of her.
and my gramma - same petite size, had a 1951 Ambassador.
Glad to see somebody respects the importance of stock originality. Too many cars from this era are ruined as customized low-riders.
Integrity. That is the KEY!
These cars were "battleships". My parents had a yellow, 1953 Buick Super 4-dr. sedan from 1954-'59. My uncle owned a blue, 1950 Roadmaster, same body style, from 1950-'56, until he traded it for a new, light green Ford--ugh!
I'd take either of those old Buicks today--or maybe even that Ford.
Your '51 is a real, unmolested gem. There's no mistaking the Buick straight-eight engines for anything else.
I had a 50. They are slow as hellfrom the get go but once it gets going is a comfy ride. It sways like crazy but that was 50s idea. Those 4 springs were a joy ride.... the most unique muffler for GM. You could tell it was a Buick by the sound....
I know someone that has a 51 Buick Super all original with a straight 8 in Taos NM. It has a push button trans shifter. I use to start it up every week. It was so quiet, I thought it wasn't running. I remember the tiny 1 brl carb. This car has the original upholstery. The suspension had hydraulic A-arms! You don't see that anymore. Great memories. Unfortunately, he's not selling.
That sounds amazing. Any chance they'd be willing to share a bit about it? Send us an email at eldon@moonrckt.com!
@@moonrckt6348 I lost contact with him, but I'll ask his brother in law if he can get me his info
No Buick 8 had a 1 barrel carb. Ever. And no Buick had a push button shifter. Ever. The hydraulic A arms were a combination shock absorber/upper A arm. In the 40s, all GM cars had those, and Buick and Oldsmobile kept them into the 50s. 54 I think.
Wish you could have put in driving scenes without music. Love to hear the old straight 8. I had an identical car from 1979 to 1983.
Looks like something the Men in Black would drive.
We are blessed to have rescued a 52 straight eight special 4dr..
97% original !
Paint & interior will be completed in 2024!

Nice
