Up front, the top was chopped three and a half inches. By doing this, Sam was able to retain the original body lines and use the original rear window. He chopped the flowing roof in the rear by sectioning the body and by reducing the height of the deck lid. Īfter removing the body trim outside and inside, Sam decided to chop the top on the Buick. Sam had to pay $650 US for the burned out remains. Sam found the Buick at the wrecking yard in 1951 and decided to bring it to the Barris shop in Lynwood. The car was then sold to a wrecking yard so it could be dismantled for parts.
After a garage fire, only a shell full of ashes remained of the Buick. Built in his spare time, it took 22 months of hard work for Sam to turn his Buick into a full fledged custom. 1950 Buick Sedanette owned and restyled by Sam Barris.
