jponti65's 1937 Buick Special DeluxeWELL MANY PEOPLE IN AUSTRALIA ARE WONDERING WHAT HAPPENNED TO THIS UNIQUE VEHICLE AND IF THEY READ THIS THEN YES IT IS TILL IN MY POSSESION.
THE BUICK STILL RUNS ORIGINAL STRAIGHT EIGHT THE AND ALL RUNNING GEAR IS COMPLETELY ORIGINAL AND HAS NOW BEEN COMPLETELY RECONDITIONED.

jponti65's 1937 Buick Special DeluxeTHIS CAR IS MY MOST PRECIUOSE ITEM I ALSO OWN JOHN DENVERS 1978 MERCURY COUGAR XR7 ALTHOUGH THAT IS A GREAT CAR THIS 1937 BUICK HEARSE IS MY MOST DESIRABLE VEHICLE IT ORIGINALLY WAS OWNED BY A FUNERAL PARLOR WEST OF BRISBANE AUSTRALIA AND WAS BUILT IN THE U.S. AS A HEARSE WHICH WAS NOT NORMALLY DONE IN THOSE DAYS MOST OF THEM WERE BROUGHT INTO AUSTRALIA AS PARTS AND THEN CONSTRUCTED HERE.
I HAVE ALL THE ORIGINAL ROLLERS AND PINS TO HOLD COFFIN IN PLACE AND WHEN I DIE MY PLAN IS TO BE BURIED WITH THE CAR BUT I DONT THINK IT WILL HAPPEN MY WIFE WOULD PROBABLY STICK AMATCH TO ME AND THE CAR IN THE BACK YARD JUST TWO GET RID OF US BOTH.LOL.
