This exquisite 1940 Buick Special Model 46 Coupe is a rare gem, featuring an authentic and period-correct design. It’s powered by an inline 8-cylinder Dynaflash engine, paired with a smooth and reliable 3-speed manual transmission, known as ‘three-on-the-tree’. The engine runs quietly and efficiently, demonstrating meticulous maintenance over the years with a recent carburetor overhaul ensuring its optimal performance.
The Buick boasts wide white wall tires that elegantly complement the steel wheels with classic hub caps, maintaining its vintage aesthetic. The cloth interior is well-preserved, offering a glimpse into the comfort and style of the 1940s. Although the original AM radio is not functional, it adds to the authentic charm of this classic car.
For enhanced comfort, custom fabricated bolt-on mounts and air shocks have been added to the rear, delivering a smoother ride. The Buick comes with a clean title, reflecting its well-documented history and careful ownership.
Recently, all essential fluids—including the engine, transmission, differential, and brakes—have been inspected and serviced with new gaskets and fluids, further demonstrating the level of care this car has received. The vehicle has also been outfitted with new brakes, tires, a fuel pump, and a battery, ensuring reliability and safety.
Though the exterior paint may be considered a ’20-footer’, it buffs out nicely for a car meant to be driven and enjoyed regularly. If you are a collector or an enthusiast seeking a rare and genuine piece of automotive history, this Buick Special Model 46 Coupe presents an exceptional opportunity to own a piece of the past.
