“While cruising a dead-end alley in Superior, Wis., I happened upon this big, old 1948 Buick Super,” and magazines. There’s something ‘gangsterish’ about this Buick with its big, toothy grille and bulging fenders and swooping lines. I’m hoping this sedan is still running and driving. The patina is perfect, the car looks straight and the glass is all good. Interior is well-worn, but serviceable. The design of those taillights on the side of the fenders was mimicked in 1956-’57 by Corvette. Note the ‘gunsight’ hood ornament. A lot of cars used them after World War II for many years as a nod to fighter plane and armament gunsights.”
