Overview of 1942 Buick Super 4-Door Touring Sedan For Sale by Owner

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.

Exterior and Interior

The exterior of this 1942 Buick Super 4-Door Touring Sedan is finished in gray and features chrome front and rear bumpers along with front bumper guards, details that suit the car’s substantial prewar styling. Its long hood, broad fenders, and upright four-door touring-sedan profile give it the kind of road presence associated with early-1940s American luxury cars. The front suspension has been refreshed, adding an important mechanical update beneath the otherwise period-correct presentation. The interior of this 1942 Buick Super 4-Door Touring Sedan is finished in gray and retains a traditional column-mounted 3-speed manual shifter. The cabin keeps the straightforward character of the era. According to the current owner, the radio is inoperable, the heater does not function, and the temperature gauge is also inoperable.

Engine

Power comes from a 248ci Buick “Fireball” inline-eight that has been bored .030-inch over and breathes through dual two barrel carburetors. The engine is paired with a 3-speed manual transmission and sends power to the rear wheels. Hydraulic drum brakes handle stopping duties, while the refreshed front suspension supports the car’s road manners. The long straight-eight layout remains one of the defining mechanical traits of this Buick, giving the car the smooth, deliberate character expected from a large prewar touring sedan.

Buick’s Super line represents a distinguished chapter in American automotive history, produced between 1930 and 1958. Originally known as the Buick Super, this full-size lineup encompassed an impressive variety of body styles—coupes, convertibles, sedans, station wagons, business coupes, phaetons, and hardtops—offering something for nearly every buyer of its era. Power came from Buick’s celebrated Fireball and Nailhead engine families, both known for their durability and smooth performance. Today, these cars stand as quintessential examples of late-ʼ40s and early-ʼ50s American motoring, prized by collectors for their craftsmanship and charm. This particular 1952 Buick Super, offered from Andover, Kansas, shows just over 25,000 miles and includes its original repair manual—an invaluable resource for preservation and maintenance.

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.

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 1950 Willys-Overland Jeepster captures a fascinating moment in postwar American motoring, blending Jeep-derived simplicity with the open-air style of a roadgoing convertible. Showing 75,749 miles, this example is finished in Yellow over a Black interior and is powered by a 161ci Lightning L-head inline-six paired with a 3-speed manual transmission with overdrive and rear-wheel drive. Its tall chrome grille, split windshield, external spotlights, rear-mounted spare, and wide-open bodywork give it a look unlike almost anything else from the era. The column-shift manual and overdrive setup add to the vintage driving experience, while the black convertible top makes it equally suited to sunny cruises or more traditional touring. For an enthusiast looking beyond the usual postwar coupes and sedans, the Jeepster delivers personality in abundance.
