Is it Buick roadmaster 47? Ed
That seems to be a good thought ,..Here's a shot of a 1947 Buick Roadmaster .........Sure looks like this baby in the picture,.....I think you got it Edbro.
Hi Ed ! Very good analysis. According to my ref., it’s a 1946 Buick Roadmaster Sedanet. http://www.motorlegend.com/coupe/buick-roadmaster/6,8763.html As you can see on this link, the 1947 is very, very similar to the 1946. Here’s the 1946 Buick Roadmaster Sedan. http://www.allposters.com/-sp/1946-Buick-Roadmaster-Sedan-Posters_i1001902_.htm JM
Wanna have a guess at this one (no cheating)...........hahahahaha it has a 'retractable roof,..........so that sort of takes the thunder away from those late 50's Fords,.......or some old European rtractables: Yup ,it's that old 'real familiar' 1941 Chrylsler Thunderbolt, hahahah It looks like a prototype for the Oscar Myer Weiner Car,...........I can't say I think it's stylish,...............Unless they are going after that 'Early Junkyard look' hahahahahaha I suppose it was somewhat futuistic looking ????? I cannot recall ever hearing about a Thunderbolt,..........but Chrylser did a lot of experimenting,and tried many different ideas,...and were actually quite leading in the way of good ideas...................
How's this one for looking somewhat like the Buick Roadmaster,.......... .........1947 Packard Clipper Coupe.................
This one needs a little TLC,................I'd like to see that guy on TV who goes into a scrapyard,& pretends to be pick at random, a car that he uses his 'new improved car wax' on,...and presto (I like that word),.....hahahaha & Presto the car is like it came out of the Showroom,......... Try it on this Buick
Here's a 1946 Buick Roadmaster,.............& check this out ,.......Did this thing have an Incredible Heater or What ???? .........Wow ,I Wonder what it's 'Air Conditioner' was Like..............hahaha
Hi Les ! Thanks for the « hot » stuff on the Buick Roadmaster 1946. In 1946, Omer Barr챕 was a Buick dealer in Verdun. (Upper photo, 1976) JM
Hey JMH that's a Great picture ,.where did you find that? I think this building is now used as the Verdun Police Station,.is it not? I am still convinced we will find a big pile of old Verdun type pictures,,,,,,, I know we all keep looking,................Is this photo of Omer -Barre,...from the Guardian or Messanger ( I guess Messager seeing it's 1976 ish?? I have saved that photo,.Thanks Again........................ .have fun & Rmemeber Verdun

Sam McLaughlin was still President of General Motors Canada when he was 101 years old. Ed
I wasn't ..........................................................................(Yet) Dream Big or get into a different biz,.like Delorean...........he wrote the book On a Clear Day you can see GM neat book,........later they tried to nail him with dealing coacaine,,,,,,, Actually SNL did a great skit ,about this .........Garrett Morris ,Dan Akroyd etc etc ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
