1948' Buick Model 46 Special Sedaette

1948 Buick model 46 Special Sedanette
This is one special car only 11, 000 of this model made. 1 of 401 exported. Not sure how many right hand drive models were made. This was a special order for the South African embassy from the factory with a fisher body type.
This car has the fender skirts from the factory. This may be the only one with skirts. This car belonged to the president of the Buick club UK so you known it has to be something special.
It has been in dry storage for the last 40 years so no rust or rot anywhere. completely standard as it left the factory.
since the owner Alf Gasgoine passed away. I recently purchased the car from his brother who also had it in dry storage.
He was reluctant to part with it but decided the time was right.
This was a cover car in the 1980's in Custom Car, front page and center fold.
At the moment not sure were I want to go with the car. I have started to recommission it and ordered some service parts from the USA
