"An imposing and beautiful model from the 1930s, and one of the most beautiful in my opinion. The test drive was relaxing and enjoyable."

Description

GM and Buick got a hit with their model Buick Type 40 Special. One of the icons from the 30s. This car was sold new in Sweden and is in a fine patinated condition. Several well-known Swedish motor history enthusiasts have owned and looked after the car over the years with valid information recorded by them about the car and actions performed. A review of the bodywork and new paintwork was done in 1978-80. Otherwise, the car is in original condition and of course maintained, serviced and repaired as needed. Now in a lovely and well-functioning condition.

Facts about the model

Buick startade sin tillverkning redan 1899 och är således en av de äldsta kvarvarande biltillverkarna. När General Motors bildades 1908 var Buick ett av varumärkena i koncernen och positionerades snäppet under GMs prestigemärke Cadillac.

Det var 1931 som Buick lanserade sin raka åttacylindriga motor. Buick hade haft försäljningsnedgångar efter finanskrisen 1929 och de första åren av 30-talet. Till årsmodell 1936 konstruerade man en ny kaross och stil, vilket blev en försäljningsframgång. Designen stod GMs gigant Harley Earl för. Små förändringar gjordes under åren men till 1938 blev det bl.a. en uppgradering av fronten och bensinpåfyllning flyttades från höger till vänster bakskärm.

Till 1938 års modeller fanns det Serie 40 Special om 122 inch wheelbase, Serie 60 med 126 inch wheelbase, Serie 80 med 133 inch wheelbase samt en Serie 90 med 140 inch wheelbase.

Serie 40 Special var således den enklaste modellen men eftersom det var en Buick, var den ändå att betrakta som en premiumbil.
