Gamer ◊ 2022-11-02 16:55	This Buick has an extremely interesting story! Almost entirely original car, originally sold in the Netherlands. In 1940, when the Germans invaded Holland, the Dutch used it for some sort of provocation against the occupying powers. Out of fear of them discovering the car, it was walled into a bakery. The men were discovered and shot, but the car remained forgotten in the bakery until 1972. It was given to the successors of the victims, restored and ended up in a private collection. And now for a story that has nothing (directly) to do with this car but is so riveting I'll share it anyway: 1400 km away, a man in Estonia wanted to restore a ZIS-101 and was looking at an offer in Kharkiv, Ukraine. The 101 was a wreck on GAZ 12 ZIM axles. The seller told him he also had the original ZIS axles and led him to a backyard where he had laid them out, rusty but complete. As the man knew nothing about the ZIS, he began to research the car back in the hotel. Now here's where things get interesting: looking at pictures of the ZIS's transmission, he realized it looked nothing like the ones on offer. There was no code of any sort on them and none of his friends could make an offer on what they belonged to. He initially assumed it belonged to some prewar German war trophy or some other Russian car and, just to be sure, went over the Wikipedia page of the ZIS 101 again. There, two tiny arrows directed him to the predecessor and successor. The predecessor was the Krasnyy Putilovets L-1, a car he had never heard of, based on the 1932 Buick. By interest he began to research the L-1 and soon it dawned on him that those Kharkiv axles bore a very close resemblance to what he was seeing online. Turns out at least one of the L-1s was sent to Kharkiv, then the capital of the Ukrainian SSR, for charioting the nomenklatura of the CPSU. He couldn't confirm the axles belonged to that very car, but he was later able to get confirmation 100% that they belonged to a 32 Buick. Deciding the possibility of a 1932 Buick being in Soviet Ukraine being very small, what with the Great Depression and all, the likelihood was extremely high that these were, indeed, the remains of an L-1. Said and done - he was going to build himself a Soviet Buick. But 32 Buicks were hard to come by. In 5 years, no one in the US had one for sale. And the few that were on offer were either hot rods and unfit for the conversion, or $100 grand painstakingly restored auction lots that were the wrong chassis to top it off. But then his luck changed. The Dutch collector contacted him about moving to NZ and having the Buick for sale. He didn't think twice and brought it up North. An expert commission was able to tell him the car was 98% original. Now he had the car, but with a smaller engine, axle width and shorter wheelbase. It also had the extremely rare lever-controlled shock absorbers, which were also used on the L-1. Because the car had mechanical brakes and the braking system clashed with what he had, he felt the need to buy a second Buick. And in February 2020, he was finally able to get a 1931 Model 31-80 from the US, which had the same 5641 cm3 engine that also powered the L-1. TL;DR - he bought a 1931 Buick and is restoring it to its Soviet L-1 clone. As of October 2022, work is almost completed but the final straight is long and complicated... https://forum.automoto.ee/showthread.php?tid=64630

Looks like it, indeed

I'd dare to say it's this exact model 67 :

This Buick has an extremely interesting story!

Almost entirely original car, originally sold in the Netherlands. In 1940, when the Germans invaded Holland, the Dutch used it for some sort of provocation against the occupying powers. Out of fear of them discovering the car, it was walled into a bakery. The men were discovered and shot, but the car remained forgotten in the bakery until 1972. It was given to the successors of the victims, restored and ended up in a private collection.

And now for a story that has nothing (directly) to do with this car but is so riveting I'll share it anyway:

1400 km away, a man in Estonia wanted to restore a ZIS-101 and was looking at an offer in Kharkiv, Ukraine. The 101 was a wreck on GAZ 12 ZIM axles. The seller told him he also had the original ZIS axles and led him to a backyard where he had laid them out, rusty but complete.
As the man knew nothing about the ZIS, he began to research the car back in the hotel. Now here's where things get interesting: looking at pictures of the ZIS's transmission, he realized it looked nothing like the ones on offer. There was no code of any sort on them and none of his friends could make an offer on what they belonged to. He initially assumed it belonged to some prewar German war trophy or some other Russian car and, just to be sure, went over the Wikipedia page of the ZIS 101 again. There, two tiny arrows directed him to the predecessor and successor. The predecessor was the Krasnyy Putilovets L-1, a car he had never heard of, based on the 1932 Buick.
