mikemgb Posted June 29, 2016 Share #8821  Posted June 29, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) Which is one reason why a flight in a 2 seater Spitfire at Imperial War Musem Duxford with Classic Wings costs £2995 for 30 minutes.  I compromised and flew in a de Havilland Rapide with 11 other passengers for £39.  dunk  The first aeroplane I flew in was a Rapide at Duxford, I followed that with a DC3 at Swanton Morley, loved both flights. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Z. Goriup Posted July 1, 2016 Share #8828  Posted July 1, 2016 If memory serves me correctly, there were three Buick models back then - Special, Super and Roadmaster. Since this is clearly a "three-holer" it's not the latter............therefore I'll guess that the  chrome 'shades' above the windows make this a Super.  JZG Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wlaidlaw Posted July 2, 2016 Share #8834  Posted July 2, 2016 The only car I can think of that had windows anything like this shape was the Packard Twelve Le Baron Coupé Model 1106. That would certainly be an American Classic.  Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Z. Goriup Posted July 2, 2016 Share #8836  Posted July 2, 2016 Well, that didn't work out at all the way I expected..........thought it was going to take a little longer than that. I'll have to raise the difficulty quotient if I ever guess correctly again & get to post another one in the future.  Of course you're correct, dunk - a Silver Arrow it is.  This one is part of the San Francisco based Art Academy of S.F. collection who display at an old, defunct, recently refurbished automobile showroom on Van Ness Ave. in the city.  A beautiful venue and certainly a striking and rare car, which caused a real sensation when introduced............at more than $10,000 during the darkest days of the depression.  You're up.  JZG Welcome, dear visitor!

John Z. Goriup Posted July 2, 2016 Share #8837  Posted July 2, 2016 And the front view as well. The panel in the front fender , behind the wheel-well is where the spare wheels were stored.  The body design was actually tested in a wind tunnel........mind you, that was in 1933. Revolutionary indeed.  JZG Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!
