I had the same thing happen. I got a call from a lady whose husband had passed away and she saw my ad in the paper. She wanted $2500 for a 56 Ford pickup truck he was working on that was a runner. I'm still kicking myself for not going and getting it. That Buick looks real nice to me. Go get it!
Hmmm... 56 Buick, with 23,000 original miles, for $4,500....Hmmmm.... HELL YES!! I hope it is sitting in your garage or driveway by now...
Good deal. You won't find one more original with lower miles. '56 was the first year they made a 4 door hardtop, relatively rare body style.
Great car, hope you just clean it and tune it up, please don't cut it up or slam it on the ground. Good Luck!
