So it was possible to get a sidemount on a Special? I never knew that.

Just my opinion but I thought they looked out of place. It must make engine access a bit of a pain too. Sidemounts look OK on the bigger models but not on the smaller models, especially on the '39s, but to each his own.

Can't say if this was typical of the as-sold sidemounted ratio but at Napier for the 2003 Buick North Island centennial the numbers were:

1937 with: 4 without: 3

1938 with: 6 without: 5

1939 with: 0 without: 5
