Matt Harwood Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Are you asking if there is a '41 Chevy with a sedanette body or if there were any 1941 Buick Special sedanettes made on the short 118-inch chassis (which used Chevrolet bodies)? 1) I don't know if Chevrolet used the sedanette body in 1941, but Oldsmobile and Cadillac both had sedanettes in addition to Buick. Pontiac may have had one also. I do know that Chevy had one after the war (1946+). I know a Chevrolet expert will help us out and answer this question for us. 2) The 2-door Buick Special (A-series) coupes on the 118-inch wheelbase used Chevrolet bodies and had a standard trunk profile, not the fastback sedanette look. If you wanted a Buick Special sedanette, it was on the B-series 121-inch wheelbase.Does that help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrbuick714 Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Some 41 & 42 Buicks used he Fisher "A" body. There were no "B" bodied Convertibles in the G M line that I know of,those years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick_S Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Yes, in 1941 Buick had a chevy bodied 2-door coupe, and as Matt stated it was a regular trunkback, not fastback. It would be labeled as a 41-44 and I personally have only seen one or two of them. Of the chevy bodies, fourdoor sedans and 2 door convertibles seem to have survived much more.

In 1942, the sedanette body style was available on all lines but the Limited (Special-A, Special-B, Super, Century and Roadmaster), including both the 118-inch and 121-inch Specials (for a total of 5 different sedanettes available!).
