ON my 55 buick i dont really have alot of rust, it was mostly surface rust. I do believe at one time before i owned the car, that the heater leaked some water inside the cabin, mainly on the floors of course. Also considering that over a 50 yr span ur weather stripping gets old and leaks ect...

I have a late 1955 buick special 4 door sedan and i am wanting to spice up my seat interior. My current seat covers are the original ones, they are in great shape for being 50 yrs old. IM pretty positive a good cleaning would take the few stains it has away. There are no cuts in the covers...

I just won a auction on ebay for rear knee action buckle shocks, brand new in original box for roughly 250. I consider this a good deal because companies charge at least 125 each to rebuild them. So i can install these and replace my current used shocks for the same price and maybe get away with...
