1939 Buick Special

The exterior displays an all steel body in very good condition.
This car retains all of its original bright work.
This interior is beautifully detailed, an absolute time capsule.
The plastic used in the steering wheel and controls is very well-preserved.
The original speedometer & odometer is crisp in coloration and the lens is clear. The speedometer and monitoring gauges are working too. The upholstery is clean and detailed as well, finished in soft gray mohair styled plush cloth material.
The seating, door panels, and headliner is very nice, notice the correct door handles and window cranks. The dashboard displays beautifully. I believe Buick referred to this wood patterned finish over metal as "Di-Noc" Correct me if I am wrong. Buick's beautiful Sonomatic pushbutton radio is in place, but is not working. This is a great candidate for a rebuilt & retro-fitted AM/FM unit. The factory heater is still in place as well.
The "suicide" rear opening doors are another delightful feature of Buick's '39 4-door Sedan
The Fireball 8 engine runs smooth and the 3-speed manual gearbox shifts without effort. Enjoy the following video clips!
The original firewall identification tag is still in place. The Vin plate is intact as well. The hood opens and closes easily on either side
Notice the welting is intact and the metal is in very good condition. This is obviously a dry-climate example.
This is your opportunity to purchase a very unique piece of Buick's motorcar history.
Closer inspection of the exterior finish will reveal an older paint job with some checking. The patina adds to the appeal in our opinion. The checking is primarily on the trunk lid.
All of the original brigthwork is still in place. It appears the bumpers retain the original luster too! This stance is courtesy of the factory wheel/wheelcovers wrapped in Garfield (not the cat) 4-ply wide whitewall tires.
The distinctive grille is one feature that makes this pre-war example unique. "Buick Eight" adorns the center section.
The trunk is detailed and clean, complete with a full-sized spare tire/wheel.
