Good Morning and Happy Monday to you all from Hubcaps.com. I hope you all had a great weekend.
Roland Irle, from Sweden, drops us this little e-mail and some pictures of his 1948 Buick Special Sedanette. He purchased our BK52 Buick wheel covers for a 1952 Buick but they fit perfectly on his 1948 Buick Special. “Its a 1948 Special 2-door Sedanette, with original straight eight, three on the tree, torque tube drive and all the goodies of these days. There are not too many around anymore. Two-door Specials, the base models, made only about 5 percent of Buick sales during the car-hungry post war years. Around 11,000 of model run 1948 were build, largely unchanged since 1942. Found it in Molkom, Sweden, in Nov 2004, sold by a guy who imported it from Ramona, CA, east of San Diego. Presumably it had also been assembled in Buick’s California plant and had a good life in the sun. It’s rust free and the original paint is sun burned in some areas. The previous owners have mildly customized it, with a 2-inch lowering kit, the fattest usable wheel + tire combination and a Y-pipe twin exhaust system. Interior trim was new. Otherwise it’s original and straight. We are into our third season and it’s nice to drive, nice to look at and reasonably easy to work with. Little do I know about the cars history in the US. So, if anybody knows something about this Ramona car, please drop me a note. Want to know more, just let me know. Great to do business with you! Roland”
