This Buick Series 40 Special hardtop Coupé saw the first light of day in 1956. Buick is one of the GM brands that was just below the Cadillac in terms of prestige. Recognizable by the Ventiports in the front wings, which have been characteristic of Buick since 1949. Three for the baseline and four for the top-of-the-range model such as the Roadmaster.
This is a body off restored car in excellent condition in 1991. The full photo report is available. The bodywork is very nicely painted in the original colors and is correctly aligned. The two-tone paint is in very good condition with only some light traces of use. The underside of this Buick is painted in high-gloss black, is rock hard and has never been welded. The car is still a sight to behold. The chrome is nice with only a few minor blemishes. The front bumper and grill have been re-chromed in a high quality. The interior has been reupholstered at some point and is therefore in beautiful condition. In the dashboard you will find the typical 50s style. Also see the special effect of a fully opened side when the windows are down. In addition to the beautiful appearance, everything works optimally. The engine compartment is not inferior and is also very neatly cared for.
After the Dutch overhaul of the Nailhead 322CU V8, the car has not done many kilometers. The car has been restored to the last detail in the Netherlands for a long time and twenty-five years ago. It has been in storage for over twenty years.
We have also thoroughly overhauled the Buick and secured it for a long future to come. We installed many new parts, such as: new tires, power brakes, power steering, stainless steel dampers, electronic ignition and spark plug wires, cylinders and brake hoses. The new Edelbrock carburetor was tuned to a power bank. We have completely overhauled the original starter motor. We also tackled the Dynaflow and it has been fitted with new gaskets and seals and we overhauled the converter.
As you are used to from us, the car is equipped with fresh oils and the brakes have been fully checked. The engine coupled to an automatic Dynaflow transmission has two gears. The engine runs extremely smoothly and always has enough power available. The transmission is easy to operate, shifts smoothly and is free of play.
