The three-shield logo which is the instantly recognizable Buick emblem has been used for well over a century. Buick has been in the automobile industry since 1899 when it was founded as the Buick Auto-Vim and Power Company. Buick was the company that established General Motors and had then become the luxury option of GM. In 1936 Buick introduced the Buick Special, a full-size car. The Buc Special continued intermittently until 1996 in various forms. Up for grabs is a truly classic car, a 1939 Buick Special Series 40 Sport Coupe model with an elegant restomod and just 37,000 miles on the clock.
Exterior and Interior
The front of this 1939 Buick Special Series 40 Sport Coupe model features a very distinctive grille design with standalone lights. The hood bulges in between the headlights and splits the grille in two. A chrome front bumper is visible. The sides of the car feature a chrome pinstripe insert that extends to the rear quarter panel and has the “SPECIAL” lettering engraved in red. The new running boards are finished in chrome with black rubber for the tread surfaces. Compared to the front, the rear is a minimalistic affair, with a chrome bumper and a small “Buick Eight” badge on the trunk lid. The seller reports that the car has been repainted with its original green color. The car sits regally on a set of chrome full wheel covers surmounted by a wide whitewall tire. The interior features a tan and wood finish on the dash. New rubber floor mats are in place, along with a modern AM/FM radio which is hidden under the driver's seat, with the original radio still in place. Electric windshield wipers have been added. The seller reports that the original fold-down jump seats are still in place, with lap seatbelts for the front seats.
Engine
Originally the heart of this 1939 Buick Special Series 40 Sport Coupe model could either be a 3.8L or a 4.1L I8 engine. The restomod has entailed this car to a Chevy Small-Block 350 V8 engine, mated to a Chevy automatic transmission. Other upgrades include a Griffin radiator, electric fans, a new high-volume water pump, an electric fuel pump, and a new 12v electrical system with electronic ignition. Stopping power has been enhanced with a Ford 350 rear-end with disc brakes.

The 1999 Buick Riviera Silver Arrow Limited Edition marked the end of an era, serving as a commemorative send-off for the Riviera nameplate after decades as one of Buick’s most distinctive personal luxury coupes. This example is #27 of just 200 produced and shows only 28,978 miles. Finished in Sterling Silver Metallic over a Medium Gray leather interior, it pairs understated late-1990s luxury with the stronger personality of Buick’s supercharged 3800 Series II V6. Special Silver Arrow badging, interior logos, and its numbered plaque distinguish this car from a standard Riviera, while the low production count gives it genuine collector appeal.
The 1942 Buick Super 4-Door Touring Sedan comes from a brief and historically significant model year, with civilian automobile production soon giving way to wartime priorities. Showing approximately 78,842 miles, this example is powered by Buick’s 248ci “Fireball” inline-eight, bored .030-inch over, and paired with a 3-speed manual transmission. Finished in gray over a gray interior, it retains the formal proportions and unmistakable prewar character of Buick’s Super line while also benefiting from a refreshed front suspension. The current owner notes that the radio, heater, and temperature gauge are inoperable, and the car retains its original spare tire.
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. 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.
