Buick has built some beautiful and great models over its long history. From the 1930s through the 1950s and beyond, Buick was a real status car. If buyers had significant wealth , they would be more likely to buy Cadillacs; but if buyers had significant wealth but didn’t want to flaunt it, they would more likely buy Buicks.
The gas station owner offered to sell the car for $25, which was $10 more than the junk yard would pay. Coates, a student at the time, bought the car after borrowing $20 from his dad. The car ran but needed a lot of work. The body was in good shape, though, with just a couple of minor dents but no rust.
It has a three-speed manual transmission mounted on the column, and it has turn signals as standard equipment, as Buick was the first company to include them as such. The very distinctive turn signals were mounted on the trunk lid with left or right flashing arrows. Front turn signals were added later.
