1940 Buick Special

[RivNut]

I can't post links using my tablet, but if you'll go to the Pittsburg, PA Craigslist and type "1940 Buick" in the seaech bar, you'll come up with a 'barn find for which the seller is asking $7,500.

This car is a Series 50 Super.  No running board, tail lights distinctive of the C-body.  Front seat suggests 103600 miles. Looks like later model hubcaps which would not fit 1940 16-inch wheels.  Other wise looks complete from photos provided.

Good eye Ken.  He'll need to come off that price just a little *clears throat* ?

Seems the Supers are hard to sell as I see plenty of them on CL for long periods of time.  You are correct, this one will likely have a price adjustment or will stay in the barn.  I'm guessing that the generally affordable and plentiful 1940 Buicks  with running boards have greater appeal because they have the distinctive prewar, older appearance.

I found the link to this on a story started by a blurb by something/someone called Jalopynik.  He thought the condition of the front seat was the result of the seat being used by a dog as its bed. ?
