Bitsa Buick


Sooner or later, they say, you can find anything at Hershey. Sometimes, though, it's hard to know what to do with it. Take this 1927 Buick, for example. Unless you had a similar car with front end damage or rotten sheet metal, you'd be hard pressed to use these pieces. Even a hot rod project seems pretty far fetched - sedan cowls and doors do not a rat rod make, at least without the back of the body. This Green Field Hershey vendor hints at his strategy, pricing the headlights and bar at $200. He'll sell his Buick in bits and pieces. One wonders how much he was asking for the whole shebang. Or maybe he simply meant all along to simply part it out.

I assume that the rest of this car lives on as a "racing special".

We still do not have enough parts to rebuild an "original" car from these pieces !
Come on, just a few more bits, and we have a "rediscovered" vehicle !
Excuse my Sarcasm !
