kermitdfrog Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 If it has the 243 CI engine, it's a Super. The Roadmaster has the 320 CI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest unclefogey Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 By my count there are only four (4) portholes which narrows it down to a Special or a Super. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serb Posted March 10, 2006 Author Share Posted March 10, 2006 I am starting to believe that it is a Special. I thought that body style was only used on the Super and Roadmaster but have found out that they also offered this style in the Special for 1941. Based on the "portholes", I think this is a special since the Super and Roadmaster seem to have more "portholes".Thanks Guys.Stevo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Olddog3 Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 It looks exactly like the front end of our '41 Mod. 47 Special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Harwood Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 If you've narrowed it down to Roadmaster or Super, it's definitely a Super. But from the photo, it's difficult to tell whether it is a Super or Special, because they used the same front-end sheetmetal. However, by examining the hood latch, it appears to be a short word: i.e. "SUPER" and not "SPECIAL". See the attached photo for clarification.Roadmaster, Century and Limited shared (more or less) front sheetmetal, but it is not interchangeable with the smaller cars. The bodies on Super and Roadmaster cars were the same from the cowl back, and the Century shared its bodies with the Special line in the same way.Here's my 1941 Buick Buyer's Guide that will help you with identifying just about any '41 Buick.

Nick_S Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 It's a 1941 Buick Super. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serb Posted March 16, 2006 Author Share Posted March 16, 2006 Nick,Thanks for the info. After getting with Matt, he is pretty firmly convinced it is a Super. I was leaning that way and with the affirmations, I will consider it a 1941 Super.Thanks,Stevo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
