THE MOTORCAR OFFERED
The stunning 1953 Buick Super Estate Wagon offered here is one of just 1,830 examples produced. The Estate Wagon was the most expensive variant of the Super line and carried a staggering $3,430 price tag when new. This magnificent example has received a compressive, nut-and-bolt restoration, and presents in concours condition. The sinister black exterior is beautifully complimented by a red interior, with neatly contrasting butterscotch cream top of the seat backs, door panels and dashboard. The woodwork is superb, as is the chrome and brightwork. Chrome wire wheels are fitted with white wall tires, and the engine compartment is correct and tidy.
Recently the motor was treated to a complete rebuild and freshening resulting in, smooth, nearly silent running order. Previously part of the Bryan Frank Collection, this Super Estate Wagon is among the finest in existence.
