Grand Old Lady. Wide white sidewalls, suicide back doors and before the Buick circular engine vents. Oh yes, and the chrome was really chrome, on bumpers that didn't bend if you bumped something. You could even push another car without damage....What a concept. 1938....Wonder if they had ANY plastic in it?
Great shots. Thanks for sharing.

Love those white walls and grill. They sure don't make them like that anymore,
Lots of car shows during the summer allow us to reflect on some great rides.

jbcarm; thanks for posting this and bringing back some sweet memories. My second car was a black 1938 Buick just like he one you have posted a picture of. That was in 1953 in Chicago. I had three or four cars soon afterwards and I sold the Buick for....
wait for it....$25.00 and on payments at that! Was I a car nut? You betchca. I called it the John Diliginer Special due to the hand rail on the back of the front seat and the little pull down curtain on the back side windows.

My father, when he returned from WWII (Okinawa) bought a 1938 Buick Century. I have no idea how many miles it had. It seemed longer than this one, which I would have said was a 1939 but I'm not an expert. He had it in the garage most of the time having major engine work done, and as soon as he could he got a red 1947 Dodge sedan. Both of them were front heavy buggers. Cars are much more reliable today and balanced.

Arity...I have to add another one to my stable back years ago. Around 1954 I think; I bought another big long and heavy beast. A 1947 Packard. Yellow/brown four door. The steering wheel was like a white pearl color and big as one you would find on a bus. It was huge to say the least with a silver like face covering the dash. The engine would roar like a semi-truck pulling a load up a long steep hill. What memories come back to me while thinking back. Plastic? I don't even think plastic had been invented at that time.
