The following video is with the Buick 99.5% complete and restored including all new 650R16 Auburn whitewall tires from Diamondback Classic Tires. All new glass was installed except for the curved back glass that was still in good condition and was removed carefully before body work. The front and rear glass are glued in with 3M 08509 Auto Bedding and Glazing Compound between the glass weatherstrip gasket and the stainless reveal molding. No pinchweld seals between the reveal molding and the body were used in 1940. Door weatherstrip and glass seals were ordered from Steele Rubber.

Purchased in January 2018, restoration work started in October 2020 and completed November 2023. Approximately 3 years of active restoration work.
