1931 Buick 56C 56-c Description

Classic car enthusiasts, especially those who have an appreciation for the epic and rare models of the 1930s will recognize what a rare find this 1931 Buick Model 56-C Convertible Coupe represents. The first year for the famed Buick Straight 8 engine and the first year for the smooth shifting synchromesh transmission.The car you are viewing has spent the last 61 years in dry storage. The car was acquired by a long time auto enthusiast who intended to restore it some day. Yes that infamous and reclusive day that cannot be found on any calendar. The day that never comes.
This wonderfully important example of Buick automotive history is complete in every detail and has virtually every option available in the day. Look at the pictures and see if you can find them all. This beautiful old girl is straight as an arrow (and not a Pierce Arrow) with no bodywork ever having been performed. She is rust free and complete. Her wood is excellent! The gas tank is clean, as is her oil. This car is 100% complete! That means we have every part that came on the car new.
All she needs to fire up is her new nos points to be installed and a new exhaust pipe. She is a true survivor patiently awaiting for you to restore her for show, or just a few minor things like a new top and interior and drive and show her as she is. She is not a rat or street rod, but she longs to head out on the street again. Yes she is indeed a rumble seat convertible coupe, waiting, worthy and ready. In the endless sea of 1930-1934 Ford roadsters and convertibles (no I didn't say belly-button) "Wouldn't You Rather Own a Buick" ?
