valk Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Wow - neat color (I think). Certainly unique. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allcars Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Amazing footage ... that '40 has a show car past, I'd bet! Notice the non-standard chromed rear fender stone guard. Although it seems to be in a dealership in the film, wondering if it could have been a show car for the Golden Gate International Exposition going on in Oakland 1939-40? Also, it is a Model 71 Roadmaster, same body as Super but four inches longer in front-end, with four section (Su;er had three) louvers on front fender and 15" inch wheels.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the chromed gravel guards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buicknutty Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Those stone guards are neat, and a friend of mine in Michigan has, or had, a '41 Special coupe with stainless ones, that looked like the ones the car in the film has. He said he believed they were original. Never found out any more about them. Keith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
