The car has the typical patina underneath, but is solid in the floor pans, etc. While I was skeptical of the underside being solid, we had the car inspected from a local Buick (BCA) club member and found it was indeed in great shape. While in WI, the car was garaged each winter and brought back out in May to enjoy the summer.
