Harkins Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Hello, I’m trying find out what my 1949 Buick Super 8 looked like. I’m wanting to restore to its original glory. I’ve tried looking up the vin # but can’t find anything. Any and all help would be great! Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinneyhill Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 You could try the Buick forum below, too. Is there a body plate showing the model, colour, trim numbers etc.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lebowski Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 I had a '49 Special a few years ago. Is yours a 4 door sedan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 As far as I know the '49 Super is a completely different car. The Special retained the pre WW2 styling whereas the Super was all new for 1949. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 For what it is worth Google and wikipedia say this is '49 Super. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete O Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 The data plate, usually located under hood on the firewall, has all the codes that tell you what the original paint color was and what color the interior was. Is you plate still on the car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
