The use of the tag ‘Limited’ on Buick models made between 1931 and 1942 denoted that they were the very best that the automaker could offer. These were halo cars for buyers of this signature American brand, and sat right at the top of the hierarchy. Buick offered the Limited in sedan (limousine), hardtop, and convertible forms. Today’s 1940 Buick Model 90 Limited Sedan is of the first type, and it’s been subjected to a full restoration. With under 8,000 miles since rebirth, this lovely vintage car is up for grabs in McHenry, Illinois.
Exterior and Interior
Showcasing that unmistakable Thirties and Forties design, this 1940 Buick Model 90 Limited Sedan is quite a large vehicle to behold. With its bulbous fenders, external running boards and dual sidemounts, it’s actually more sizable than our photos would have you believe. Not surprising, given the 140-inch wheelbase which enabled a spacious passenger compartment. This car also packs fog lights as well as spot lights, and there’s even a siren in the engine compartment. Perhaps it was used for VIP transport when it was new – we don’t know. Whitewall tires on red steel rims with hubcaps in silver complete the period-correct aura. The interior of this car would have been considered lavish way back in the day. With plushly upholstered seats, including two jump seats, this car was definitely meant for the well-heeled. The who’s who of the 1940s world definitely rode around in cars like this, with headline features such as day/night rear-view mirrors, dashboard-mounted clocks, and push-button radios – all of which this car proudly shows off.
Engine
This 1940 Buick Model 90 Limited Sedan is powered by a 320ci Fireball in-line eight-cylinder engine. The engine reportedly made an impressive 140 horsepower at the time. It is connected to a 3-speed sliding-mesh manual gearbox and powers the rear axle. The gearshifter is found on the steering column, as floor shifters weren’t popular at the time. Braking is via drums, and you’d better have strong muscles. Ditto steering, which is unassisted. After all, power steering and brakes simply weren’t around back then. Driving was a very physical act, as a result. So, instead of wasting money on gym memberships, just buy this car and drive it a few times a week.
