Slantback's
of this era offer un-matched elegance, comfort, style and
power. Simply fascinating, from the sweeping fastback body
lines to the glorious bright-work, incredible grill area,
luxurious interior and onto the powerful drive-train. One
of only 20,542 produced, the 6 Passenger 1948 Model "76S",
are always a special find when they retain most of their
original beauty and original engine/trans combination.
Certainly, a true classic collector automobile that can
effortlessly waft along with the greatest of ease. Read on

Residing under the dual-side lift hood is a formidable
Buick "FIREBALL DYNAFLASH" valve in-head 320cid inline
straight eight cylinder. Equipped with an optional factory
"DYNAFLOW" automatic transmission, the factory horsepower
was increased from 144Hp 6.6:1 compression ratio to 150HP
with an increased 6.9:1 ratio. It starts, runs and
operates flawlessly with a very recent in-chassis engine
overhaul including all new piston rings, engine bearings,
oil pump, lifters, gaskets, carburetor and complete
cylinder head overhaul utilizing stainless steel
valves/guides to meet today's unleaded fuel standards...
Finished in a Jet Black single stage, the straight body
and chassis represents itself well as a "very honest solid
survivor and/or driver", one that has previously received
a body-on cosmetic restoration several years ago. The
driver quality factory original chassis, related
mechanical components and braking have received a thorough
once over and are in good working order. Riding on BF
Goodrich-Silvertown WW 235/75R15 radial tires. Included
are all factory related assembly manuals, master parts
book, original owners manual and prior history file. A
very nice character with absolutely, no excuses...
Moving inside, the luxurious interior retains all of its
glorious dash trim, factory instruments, clock,
"Weather-Warden" heater/defroster, "EZ-I" non-glare
rearview mirror, windshield wipers, auxiliary driving
lights, "Breeze-Ease" draft deflectors, "Sonomatic" radio
and "All" are in working order. The complete interior
upholstery has been tastefully updated with a
professionally sewn black/white vinyl Naugahyde with
vertical center pleats. Functional, Extremely Tidy and
Very Drivable...
In closing, if you have not taken the time to view the
highly informative 19+ HD Video (hopefully on a TV size
screen) and high resolution photo set, now would be a good
time. We think this solid survivor speaks for itself, will
you be the next caretaker? Good Day, Paul Harvey... |
