Tons Of Custom Work/350ci 4bbl V8/TH350 Auto/Power Drum Brakes/Kewl Cruiser

1950 Buick Super Series 50 Jetback Sedanet

For consignment, a 1950 Buick super 50 Jetback Sedanet with a title verified 5,857actual miles, however these may be lower than actual as the odometer is not working. The streamlined jetback of the model lends itself well to the street rod treatment, and this beauty's been chopped, nosed, sectioned, shaved, and after borrowing some parts from GM cousins, treated to a three stage paint job, clear over two blended colors.

Exterior
Streamlined best describes this nose up, tail down design, greatly enhanced by the 3.5 inch chop up front and the dramatically tapered rear window the share the C-pillar with an almost horizontal rear window which curves like '71 Riviera, maintaining the shape through the jetack bodywork, flanked by blue dot dressed tail lights from a 1953 Pontiac, turned on their sides. Pontiac also ponied up some side trim, a spear with pointed tip on front fender and whipped tail meeting the chrome bumper wrap around. Up front, a '53 Oldsmobile grille towers over the reworked and robust '51 Buick bumper and it all creatively works together. Artful application of Candy Brandywine along with Dark Candy Brandywine sets the tone here with a deep shine rarely interrupted and our builder kept the iconic ventiports on the side and 75 series white wall tires round out a stunning presentation. Imperfections? We couldn't find any major flaws on the exterior.

Interior
Black and red is the theme on the inside beginning with red textured vinyl panels framed by black metal headers and carpeted kick panels on the doors. The split bench seats share the pattern and feature red piping and this and the matching rear bench are in great shape. Up front, a more modern three spoke steering wheel is wrapped in black leather with patina, leading to a simple dash that retains an original speedometer, flanked by some updated AutoMeter ivory faced units. A jukebox like presentation adorns the center of the dash, a chrome ribbed affair with a speaker under the AM radio, BUICK spelled out on the push buttons, along with two rows of chrome knobs. We jump from the 50's to more current times with the lower stack, an AM/FM/Cassette radio and an equalizer in a custom case over the black carpeted floor. Red bows accent the charcoal headliner above and the sizable trunk is dressed in red and black carpet.

Drivetrain
Under the bulbous hood is a clean 350ci V8 with an Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor and mated to a TH350 3-speed automatic sending power to the Ford 9” axle in back. Power brakes are onboard configured as drums on all four wheels. We've got a 12 volt system and air conditioning is supplied, one of the many components under the hood that is show worthy clean.

Undercarriage
Clean conditions prevail underneath with dry pans and minimal surface rust. On our scan, we find some invasive rust on a body braces and inner rockers that appear to now be fully encapsulated and not progressing. We note a small spot of rust on the pinch weld on the driver's door bottom. Meanwhile, clean dual exhaust flows through Smithy mufflers, rolls through the X-frame, over the rear axle, and out to the back via chrome tips. Suspension sleuths will find coil springs up front and a 4 link with coil springs in the back.

Drive-Ability
We open the hefty door and take our seat on the big bench up front and pull the familiar GM column shifter our way after cranking the trusty 350 to life. There's a nice bellow coming from way back yonder and this smooth operator rolls out onto the test loop, providing straight tracking and plenty of power at hand. Despite the chop and the sharply angled rear window, visibility remains good, just mind the yacht sized front end! We note the odometer and trip odometer are not working, but all other functions operate as intended. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.

This is one wild ride with a coolness you couldn't build for this kind of money. Deep paint, a solid V8, and an interior that feels like an exclusive speakeasy. It's all here and more. If you've been looking for a sweet ride, this candy cruiser checks all the boxes. A custom build means you'll own one of one, but first, you'll have to call!
