Hello all I have just purchased this 1946 sedan It is sporting quite original paint and appears to have been lowered .I would like to return it to standard height.
The left hand hood latch is broken ( the handle is fine ) the bracket is no good. I can't wait to get into this car we are under siege from Bush fires at the moment and we are very close

They just ooze style don't they

Yes they do and are so beautiful. No way todays cookie cutter cars can compete for style points.

Hello Al,
Yes we have a couple of historic cars and they all can turn heads but you can see a big smile as the Buick goes by

Thanks for the welcome. I now have it painted and sourced the bonnet handle from the states now I will address the ride height. It looks great low but not practical for our roads
