From the auctioneers listing "Antiques: 1937 Buick Limited Hearse Partially restored has new paint, electrical & straight 8 engines runs nice. Offered w/ reserve."

I'm suspecting they are fishing for values.

37 Buick Limited hearse auction

I suspect from the location that this 37 Buick hearse belongs to a PCS member.
Since he did not post it on the site I will refrain from naming him. This would be a real beauty finished.
Hope it goes to a good home.

Early bird. Worm. Winner! Purrs like a kitten and drove right into trailer. Next stop, Marietta. More pics/details upon returning.

Do you people really think stuff slides by me..?

Curious

So what did this coach eventually sell for?
If it was no reserve what did they start at and how many people were bidding?

 

[Attila Bethlenfalvy]

Per auction description in link provided by James, there was a reserve. Auctioneer dropped all the way down before opening floor at $2k and bidding ultimately did not reach reserve, which was subsequently negotiated after becoming high bidder. Fuller story:

Highest bid number I saw was 62 so that's about how many bidders were at auction.

I am not to be trusted on this board......I was sure I read " offered without reserve " but have gone back and seen the error of my ways.
Sorry Atti.

I saw Atti's prize, the car is awesome with that gold trimmed snout.
