Doug writes...

"I purchased this auto online from Richard and Dee in Fresno, Cal. I was reluctant to make a purchase that way but was lucky enough to be dealing with an outstanding couple who were very cooperative. It was all a "learn as you go" experience as far as the actual purchase and setting up the transport once everything was finalized. I have always wanted a car with the 'suicide' doors. The way the hood opens up and latches into what can best be described as a gull wing pattern is also interesting. I am just now getting into the post-purchase stage of getting to know this fine automobile."

Now this is travelling in style. How do you spell class? 3-8-B-U-I-C-K. I've always loved the shape of 1938 cars and Buick seems to have extracted all that was good about design that year. I can imagine how you felt on delivery day and how Richard and Dee felt having to let such a fine automibile go to another home. Thanks for sharing this fine Buick with us Doug. - Bill

P.S. Richard and Dee are the couple in Fresno California who owned this Buick before Doug. They emailed me to say...

"We are the couple in Fresno, Ca. that Doug bought his '38 Buick from. Not only did this fine automobile (that we enjoyed for many years) go to a good home but we made some great new friends as well.
Great web site!
Richard and Dee."
