Vehicle Description
1940 Buick was (and still is!) a great design by the legendary
Harley Earl with its Torpedo C-body and a lot of great features
for that time period. Not only is the car a great looking design,
but its also quite a roomy, comfortable, and practical car to
drive compared to others in that time period. Stays with modern
roads and traffic just fine. Also a full size back seat for extra
passengers! Here we have a beautiful Buick Super that has been well
loved by its past few owners. It has been serviced well through the
years, has never needed a full restoration, and has been garage
kept its whole life. This would be a very nice car for all your
cruise night events, local car shows, or just own/drive for fun!
This car will be a treasure for your family to own for years to
come and a great investment too. Features: � Original sticker

(theoretical) This coupe was owned by a Buick Club member for many
years and was his favorite car to drive to shows and cruise-ins.
The original engine runs very well, idles smooth, and makes very
good power. The transmission shifts well/smooth and has a good
feeling clutch. Doors open and close nicely with a thud. The car
drives as close to a new one as you will hope to find. No extra
play in the steering, no noises, or anything of that sort. VERY
easy to steer and stop. The 12 conversion is also a big plus! Just
a beautiful looking car both inside and out.
