philr ◊ 2008-01-02 08:16	It is a Super.

Ray B. ◊ 2008-01-02 10:21	Agreed on 1952 Super. However it seems to have a 2-pieces windshield that no 52 Buick still had. Maybe GM had some leftover 1950 bodies that they used for cars sold overseas. It's true that many 51-52 GM cars were not the epitome of design. That is worsened here by a strange non-standard two-toning. I've seen some on french Buicks or Oldsmobiles of those years (like in "Tirez sur le Pianiste"). I guess it was another nicety offered to european customers. -- Last edit: 2008-01-02 10:47:12
