If one were to hear the brand name Buick, what would spring to mind are some of the most impressive classic cars in history. An interesting fact about Buick is that it was among the first American automobile brands and was the company that established General Motors. It was founded more than a century ago and granted the world with fascinating automobiles that are coveted today. The Buick Special, otherwise known as the Series 40, is a model line produced by the company that was usually its lowest-priced model. In the year 1940, Buick marketed their year lineup as new and improved, and our subject, the 1940 Buick Special Series 40 Coupe, was among them.
Up for sale in Virginia, this fully restored example harks back to a time when even the entry-level models exuded glamour and presence. Being a 1940 model year, this Buick gained an inch on its wheelbase and had its headlamps incorporated into the front fenders. Its enclosed nose, wide chrome grille, bumpers, side trim, and intriguing details like the turn signal atop the front fenders add to its character. Completing the look is a deep black paint job, which is complemented by period-correct steel rims with chrome hubcaps wrapped in new whitewall tires. The interior has also been restored to its original specifications with grey Bedford cloth and mohair fabric. All the gauges, trim pieces, steering wheel, and other associated parts are as they came from the factory. The trunk compartment houses the spare tire and remains as it would have left the factory in 1940.
Giving life to this 1940 Buick Special Series 40 Coupe is a smooth 248 cubic inch “dynaflash” straight 8 engine. This is an overhead valve powerhouse that utilizes five main bearings, aluminum rockers, and mechanical valve lifters. A respectable figure of 107 horsepower is enough to move this classic beauty with grace. Sending power to the rear wheels is a three-speed manual transmission that can be controlled with a column shifter, a rarity in the contemporary world. The current owner reports all maintenance has been done and is up to date, including the brakes being redone.

The Buick Special, a nameplate that spanned several decades, underwent numerous redesigns, including this distinctive 1956 Model 48 iteration. Crafted as a versatile full-size vehicle, the Special was offered in a variety of body styles, this instance being a 2-door sedan from its second generation. Under the stewardship of its current owner, this 1956 Buick Special Model 48 2-Door Sedan has been meticulously maintained, blending original charm with necessary modern updates for enhanced reliability. With its eye-catching finish, modernized components, and an engine that's covered just 17,980 miles since refurbishment, this vehicle stands as an enticing proposition for any classic car enthusiast.
The Special was built for several decades, undergoing multiple facelifts, including this particular iteration of a 1964 Buick Special Restomod. An automobile built for the people, the Special was a full-size car that came in different forms, this one being a 2-door. A restomod project, this Buick has been saved from expiration and given a new lease on life, ready to be enjoyed and appreciated by all passers-by, especially the driver. Packed with plenty of modern conveniences, a slick paint job, and a rebuilt engine that the current owner reports has less than 3,000 miles on the clock, very little can be said to turn down this special Buick.
Buick’s midsize offering from 1973 to 2004, the Regal, entered the market just as the Malaise Era was getting started. So, instead of moaning about the stringent emissions and economy regulations, Buick made it a bit more upmarket than segment contenders. Then, the second generation came about in 1978, bringing with it fresh styling and a station wagon body style. Then, in 1982, the Grand National trim came out, to celebrate Buick winning the Manufacturers Cup in 1981 and 1982 for the NASCAR Winston Cup Grand National. Buick proudly advertised the car as “What wins on Sunday sells on Monday”. Up for sale today is a 1985 Buick Regal Grand National, but one that’s been extensively modified. The car pushes a four-figure horsepower digit at the wheels, and the current owner proudly tells us that it does a 5.2 in the 1/8th at 131mph. Want more figures? How about an 8.4 in the quarter mile, passing the line at a staggering 161mph? Furthermore, this build has just 4,500 miles on it, and comes with some creature comforts that make it a viable regular car when required.
Cars from 1950 are getting rarer. During that time, automakers went above and beyond to produce works of art on wheels. Classic car enthusiasts know well enough that these icons are worth preserving, but there is a cost, namely convenience. That's when the topic of restoration comes up. Users can add modern amenities that make everyday life with the car more comfortable while still enjoying the nostalgia of the bygone era. This 1950 Buick Super is an excellent example of a classic that has been tastefully restored. According to reports, it has only been 2,000 miles since its full restoration.

The Ford Model A was the successor to the original mass-produced mobilizer: the Model T. It had massive shoes to fill, and fill them it did, with improvements over the Model T in terms of engineering and style. As with many cars of this era, our featured Model A has been extensively transformed with a Streetrod-style build. While the Model A retains its good looks, it now features a 305ci V8 engine for more power, coil-over suspension for a much lower stance, and a new custom interior.
The Ford Model A is best known as the successor to the car that put the world on wheels. It was the first Ford to use the standard set of driver controls with conventional clutch, brake, and throttle pedals, along with a gearshift — unlike its predecessor, the Ford Model T. First produced on October 20th, 1927, the Model A was a great success among the populous with almost 5 million units being sold, ending production in March 1932. The survival rate of this fabled car is quite small, so to find a Model A in great condition, such as this 1930 Roadster pickup version we have for you, is an extremely rare find. Featuring an all-steel 1932 Ford shell, this particular model has received a complete restoration from the ground up. The Ford Flathead V8 engine has been rebuilt, and only a mere 5,200 miles were clocked after the build. With servicing up to date, you can find this meticulously maintained Ford Model A for sale in Bennettsville, South Carolina.
Colloquially known as the “Tin Lizzie”, the Ford Model T was the world’s first mass-produced, affordable automobile. This was the vehicle that made travel by car available to middle-class Americans. It was produced through an assembly line instead of individual handcrafting, which brought the price down from $780 in 1910 to $290 in 1924. Adjusted for inflation, it’s still an impressive $5000 in modern-day money. Of course, you don't get air conditioning or an infotainment system with Apple CarPlay, but for an almost 100-year-old car, the Ford Model T was truly a bargain for its time. Rightfully, the Model T was also named the most influential car of the 20th century and was also the most-sold car in history till 1972 before being surpassed by the Volkswagen Beetle. This particular coupe model has been restored from the ground up and presents you with an opportunity to own one of the most iconic cars in human history for sale in Chesterfield, Virginia.
