1953 Buick Super 8 Estate Woody Wagon

This car is possibly one of the finest examples of the few remaining from the less than 2,000 vehicles that were originally produced. They were the last of the true American “woody” station wagons. This exquisite Buick has been beautifully restored both cosmetically and mechanically. The exterior is a pale yellow and the interior a dark green. The chrome and most importantly the wood, both inside and out, are impeccable. The engine starts easily, idles almost silently and is absolutely smooth. Odometer reads 3,843 miles. It is currently registered in California and has a clear title.
VIN# 16746850
