‘37 Buick
Fun project that finally went home yesterday. 1937 Buick Special Convertible.
Original style restoration for the interior and top. I tried to mimic what would have come from the factory. Main exception was owner wanted carpet rather than rubber flooring which was factory.
Wooden bows for the top were luckily in “good” enough condition to be restored.
Same style of welt cord and bordering top stitch for the seat, no pleats, sew lines in the door which were specifically raised individually, wire on over sides, the devil is in the details when trying to be “original”.
My team and I learned so much on this project, very few people to speak to with real knowledge on cars like this!
