The 1937 Buick Special Series 40 Convertible represents a distinctive moment in prewar American automotive design, blending elegant Art Deco styling with the smooth, streamlined proportions that defined Buick’s entry-level luxury models of the era. While Buick was known for refinement and engineering sophistication in the 1930s, this example advances that legacy by integrating modern performance and comfort into a classic platform. Finished in Silver and fitted with a Carson-style removable top, this restomod preserves the graceful lines of the original convertible while transforming it into a high-performance cruiser that bridges prewar aesthetics and contemporary hot rod culture.
Exterior and Interior
The exterior of this 1937 Buick Special Series 40 Convertible features a custom Corvette-style silver finish that highlights the flowing fenders, long hood, and low stance characteristic of the Series 40, while polished brightwork and aftermarket wheels add a restrained modern contrast. The Carson-style removable top maintains a period-correct convertible appearance while enhancing usability. Inside, the black interior is cleanly executed with custom upholstery, a modern gauge cluster integrated into a simplified dashboard, and an aftermarket sound system discreetly incorporated to retain a vintage visual character while offering contemporary functionality.
Engine
Power is supplied by a 427ci tall-deck supercharged V8 equipped with a BDS Roots-style supercharger and dual four-barrel carburetors, providing performance far beyond the vehicle’s original specifications. Power is delivered through a TH400 three-speed automatic transmission to a rear end with a 3.73 gear ratio, offering a balance between strong acceleration and highway drivability. A custom chassis supports the drivetrain, complemented by four-wheel disc brakes and air conditioning, resulting in a mechanically robust build designed for confident modern road manners while accommodating the engine’s substantial output.
This 1940 Buick Special Series 40 Convertible Coupe blends prewar elegance with postwar V8 performance thanks to a later-model drivetrain upgrade. While retaining its classic proportions and convertible charm, this example benefits from a 350ci Buick V8 and automatic transmission, making it far more usable and approachable for modern driving. The combination of vintage styling and mechanical updates gives this Buick a restomod character without straying too far from its original identity.

The 1938 Buick Special Series 40 Sedan captures the elegance and innovation of pre-war American motoring, blending Buick’s hallmark smoothness with stylish Art Deco design. Offered from Nevada, Missouri, this example remains highly original, powered by its 248ci inline-eight paired to a 3-speed manual transmission. With 72,366 miles, it stands as both a collectible pre-war classic and a usable vintage sedan that showcases Buick’s engineering achievements of the era.
This 1957 Buick Roadmaster Riviera 2-Door Hardtop is pure late-1950s American excess in the best possible way, combining dramatic Harley Earl-era styling with the torque-rich character of Buick’s Nailhead V8. Showing approximately 14,574 miles, this example was refurbished in the late 2000s and is finished in Dover White and Bittersweet Red over a Rust and Ivory interior. Its 364ci Nailhead V8 was overhauled, the Dynaflow automatic was rebuilt, and the car was later upgraded with an Air Lift Performance air suspension system. Add in power steering, power brakes, power windows, a power front bench seat, Hot Rod Air climate control, and wide whitewalls, and this Roadmaster delivers the extravagant look of a flagship ’50s Buick with a few thoughtful upgrades that make it even more enjoyable today.
The 1972 Buick Gran Sport is a great example of why Buick’s muscle cars have always had their own following. Where some competitors leaned almost entirely into aggression, the GS mixed real V8 performance with a more polished, upscale feel, and this 60,979-mile example captures that balance nicely. Finished in Burnished Copper with a Black vinyl roof over a Black interior, it pairs a 350ci V8 and 4-barrel carburetor with a TH350 3-speed automatic and rear-wheel drive. The equipment list is especially appealing for an enthusiast cruiser, with power disc brakes, power steering, air conditioning, a full-length console, Rallye steering wheel, tinted glass, chrome-plated wheels, and period stereo equipment all part of the package. It has the visual presence of a proper early-1970s muscle car, but with the comfort and restraint that made Buick’s Gran Sport line feel a little more grown-up than the average stoplight bruiser.
The 1984 Buick Riviera Coupe comes from an era when personal luxury cars were all about presence, comfort, and a sense of occasion, and this example delivers that character in a particularly period-correct package. Showing 41,329 miles, it is finished in Light Sand Gray over a Burgundy velour interior and powered by a 307ci V8 paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. The padded Burgundy vinyl roof, burl woodgrain trim, split front bench seat, column-mounted shifter, and Riviera hood ornament give it the unmistakable look and feel of an upscale 1980s Buick, while air conditioning, power accessories, and the Concert Sound audio system add the comfort expected from the nameplate. It is the kind of Riviera that appeals less through outright performance and more through its relaxed cruising character, distinctive styling, and richly finished cabin.
This 1956 Chevrolet 150 Restomod is a clean Tri-Five build with the kind of mechanical and cosmetic upgrades that make these cars genuinely fun to drive. Showing approximately 3,050 miles, it features a custom Green and White paint job over a reupholstered Brown leather interior and is powered by a 383ci Summit Racing crate V8 paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. The engine has been positioned 1.5 inches forward, while Sanderson headers, a 3.90 Posi-Traction rear end, power-assisted disc brakes, electric cooling, and an aluminum radiator give the car a far more capable setup than a stock 150. Add Dakota Digital gauges, air conditioning, a trunk-mounted battery, 17-inch mag wheels, and an upgraded sound system, and this is a well-rounded restomod that blends classic Tri-Five style with much more modern road manners.

This 1971 Dodge Charger Restomod Super Bee Tribute brings together the aggressive third-generation Charger shape, period-inspired Super Bee styling, and a thoroughly updated big-block drivetrain. Showing approximately 62,213 miles, it is finished in Vitamin C Orange with a Black vinyl roof and Black interior, while the current owner reports that the car underwent a rotisserie build. The centerpiece is a 440ci V8 fitted with FiTech electronic fuel injection and a Mancini Racing Six Pack intake, backed by a TorqueFlite 3-speed automatic and an 8¾-inch Sure Grip rear end with 3.55 gears. Add in the N96 Air Grabber system, AMD bulge hood, Rallye instrumentation, Slap Stik shifter, and Super Bee graphics, and this tribute captures the visual attitude of Mopar’s muscle-car era with a more usable modernized fuel system.
