The lot features an original 1950 Buick Super Dynaflow Sedan Model 51 4-door sedan in all original factory condition. The car is in all original driving condition and shows a strong 263.3 cubic-inch Fireball L8 straight eight and three-speed manual transmission. The Fireball L8 came with 128 Max Horsepower and 217 ft-lbs Max Torque with an original base price of $2,139.00. This is truly an iconic design and the quintessential style of the late 1940's and early 1950's, so much so that this exact model was displayed on the award winning show The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. The vehicle shows a nice chrome finish with factory dark green paint with clothe and vinyl original upholstery. This is a rare model showing the straight chrome trime, shark mouth front grille, three air inlets on either side of the hood with only 8.31% of all 1950 Buick's being a Model 51 Super Sedan. Refurbished examples sell for between $20,000 to $40,000. Factory original green's from Buick in 1950 consist of Allendale Green, Geneva Green and Kashmir Green. The vehicle shows some slight rust, but overall is a great base and all original. Please inspect the vehicle for condition and functioning order. This vehicle does not come with any warranty to function. This comes with an original owners guide.
