Saw this during a visit to Las Vegas last week. 1949 Series 76 Futuramic 4-door sedan. Owned by GM itself from 1949 through last year. $65,000 takes it.

Sweet, little pricey for me though

I'll go sell my house right now and buy that! Really nice, the level of conservation on that car is so high. I love the cloth wrapped wire, among about twenty other things about that car. Too pricey for me too though.

Wow

$65,000 might be about right if it were a convertible or maybe a coupe and an 88.

Yes, it has only the 6-cylinder engine.

While the little sign didn't state the car's mileage, I would think that if this car has been owned by GM all its life as the sign says, then it probably wasn't driven much, if at all. It might have less than 100 miles on it. Again, you would think they would say that if it were true, but maybe not. Low mileage like that, whether it's a 100 or 1000, certainly would add something to the value even if it isn't a V-8, wouldn't you think?

The 4-door sedan is still "For Sale" all over the Internet.

I bought a "bondo bucket" '50 Club Coupe intending to install a V8 and stick. The uniqueness is interesting. I have a mostly complete drivetrain but it will be the last step after brakes, body, paint, chrome and interior. By then, I may change my mind, keep the six and find an 88 shell for the V8 drivetrain. (It's not for sale now.)

The flat head has lots of torque and "goes down the road quite" nicely. The 4th Hydramatic gear is a "stump puller" so raising the rear end gears from 3.64 to 3.23 may be in order.

I would love to find '50 Series 76 Holiday hardtop or convertible... So few were made that a survivor would be very unique.

Thanks.

I am not sure if the ratio is exactly the same on the '46 but it is someplace near 3.64:1 or perhaps greater because it pulls, especially behind a 455 and TH400.
