This is a custom 1948 Buick Super. It has been chopped, decked, frenched and shaved. Body work and paint are done. A fresh dual carb 1942 straight 8 motor is installed. A one of a kind front opening hood was fabricated. Other items completed are 12 v conversion, alternator, wiring, clutch, trans, instrument conversion, stock looking radio with new internals and iPod hookup, brakes, and tires. It needs completion: carb linkage and hookup, some ignition and wiring, door and trunk poppers, interior, exhaust, window seals, etc.

This 1948 Buick has been heavily modified. We believe this build was performed in the early 1980’s. The body on this car is exceptional as far as rust, the frame, body mounts and rockers are rust free. The car is very straight with the exception of the lower front valance, that has several dents, that can be seen in the pictures. The only place on the undercarriage that shows any metal work at all is the trunk pan itself. The whole flat of the trunk area has been replaced with one piece of steel. We believe this was done to accomplish its very low stance and it also appears to have a more modern gas tank. The rest of the body shows several bubbles and light rust, where the custom body work had occurred, such as bumper mounts in the front, the bottom of the headlights and a couple areas on the skirts. The body, fenders, doors, hood, trunk and so on are very rust free. The paint work, which is very dated, has some cracks and adhesion problems. The rear glass is shattered and we’re not sure if this was intentional or not. The shop that did the work was definitely a very capable custom shop with some very talented builders. The top has been chopped between 3 ½” to 5”. The handless, solenoid pop doors add to the smooth sleekness of this custom ride. 102 louvers were added to the already custom appearing hood that, from the factory, opens from both sides. The headlights have been Frenched in, as well as the antenna and both bumpers. The rear taillights were replaced with a custom round 4 taillight design which gives a very sleek and sporty appearance to an already outrageous body style. All four windows have been converted too electric and operate very well. The interior is dated but still respectable with the exception of the Masonite door panels, which need to be covered (see pics).
