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.
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.
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 Buick Regal is one of those nameplates from the Seventies that you can still buy today, albeit not in North America, but China! Introduced in 1973, just as the Malaise Era was taking hold, the Regal has always been the premium midsize offering from this storied American automaker. Regals have been made in coupe, sedan and station wagon forms, and come with some hot variants too. North American Regal sales ceased in 2020, as Buick wanted to refocus its attention towards solely selling SUVS in North America. Today, we have a second-generation 1986 Buick Regal T-Type Turbo for sale from Downey, California. This was considered quite a hot car in its time, due to its punchy 3.8-liter turbo V6 and performance-tuned suspension. This 44,107-mile car also comes with an upgraded intercooler set-up for a bit more bite.
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.
By 1965, the Buick Riviera had firmly established itself as one of the most striking American personal luxury coupes of its time. Combining Bill Mitchell’s sharp styling with Buick’s refined powertrains, the Riviera delivered both presence and performance in equal measure. This example, a 1965 model, carries the legendary 401 cubic-inch “Nailhead” V8 paired to a smooth-shifting ST-400 3-speed automatic transmission. Showing 20,446 miles on the odometer, it has been repainted in an eye-catching orange finish and fitted with aftermarket wheels, setting it apart while still honoring the car’s bold original character.
