Art & Inspiration Lets see those Sedanet's!

48 caddy and 49 olds were always my favs. had uncles that had them and i got to drive them if i washed the cars for them. great fun for a 12 year old.

 

Buicks and Cads. I have a '47 Super.

 

The use of Sedanet seems to be used only by Buick, at least in '49 GM cars. Cadillacs were Club Coupes, Pontiacs are Streamliners and Chevrolet were Fleetlines.

 

Here's a picture of my 1949 Buick Roadmaster Sedanette.

I realized I left out Oldsmobile for '49, which was called a Club Sedan.

 

Here is my beater '49 Super.

 

Thats far from a beater. Id call it a survivor. Beauty. You wanna see a beater then look at my 50 caddy haha

 

The paint is peeling off in sheets and it was in a barn for s long time. I will never get the rat poo smell out of it until I restore it. Got a nice rat hole in the headliner, too. It's a cool old driver with a 455 LeSabre drive train in it.

 

Yeah. Shes still beautiful!

Those upside down Packard tail lites are drop dead gorgeous.

 

Here's my 41 buick that I chopped 4" but then sold !

 

Mine in the build.



Check out my 49 Buick sedanette build

 

My two favorites, 1950 Buick super (or roadmaster IF you can find one) and a 1950 Oldsmobile 98. I miss my '50 super I sold in 1997.

 

Beautiful stuff !

 

'47 Olds in Irving (Dallas) TX in the 80s. I found it in Plano, drove it to Waco for a rod run at the park by the river (NSRA state run?) after a duct tape repair to the timing cover, sold it to someone in North Dallas, and always wondered what happened to it.
I do think we are seeing two body styles in this thread: 2 door sedans and the longer, and much lower "Sedanettes".

My 47 buick

 

Winzy I love it - and the photo in general.

rfraze that tan one is stunning

 

I saw the upper tan '47 at Goodguys DelMar 5 years ago, and unless it has a double, the first time in OKC during Nats in '91.
Here is DeRosa's in progress

 

More recent pic of my 47, getting her stripped down for some custom touches

 

What is the term for the trim on the front of the rear fender ahead of the skirt and the trim on the fender behind the front wheel?

 

Stone guards or gravel guards, Paul. Don't forget that when most of these cars were new, many of the roads were still gravel or worse.
