NEW TO WAGHOON · OCTOBER 19, 2026

1952 Buick Super Estate Woodie

Cream paint, real wood bodywork and a straight-eight engine give this Buick a formal touring character. The advertised aftermarket air conditioning is paired with manual steering and brakes—not a fully modernized chassis.

Inspection priorities

Questions suggested by this advertised configuration—not diagnoses or claims that a problem is present.

Wood and weather sealing

Inspect finish wear, joints, lower timber, roof seams and the cargo floor for moisture damage.

Straight-eight and transmission

Arrange a cold-start and fully warmed road test; inspect cooling, leaks, automatic operation and supporting service records.

Comfort and controls

Test the air conditioning and assess manual steering and braking effort. Confirm the car suits the buyer’s intended use.

Before contacting the seller

Confirm the exact car remains available, obtain an itemized quote and current photographs, and request its title and service records. Arrange an independent inspection before committing. WAGHOON does not sell, reserve or inspect vehicles.
