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 1950 Buick Super blends postwar American luxury with custom street-rod refinement. Finished in a striking silver and black two-tone paint scheme, this Buick retains its unmistakable early-1950s presence while incorporating tasteful modern upgrades. Under the hood sits a 401ci V8 paired with a 3-speed automatic transmission, delivering strong torque and smooth cruising capability. With added comfort features such as air conditioning, power windows, and power seats, this is a classic cruiser designed for both style and usability.
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.

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.
This 1953 MG TD captures the charm of classic British motoring while incorporating a number of thoughtful upgrades aimed at making it more enjoyable to drive and easier to live with. Showing approximately 9,292 miles, this example is finished in white over a black interior and pairs its traditional 1,250cc XPAG inline-four with twin SU carburetors and a 4-speed manual transmission. A front disc brake conversion, LED headlights, electric upgrades, and a black half tonneau cover add usability, while the current owner reports an engine refresh approximately 5,600 miles ago. It also earned 3rd place at the 2025 Reno British Car Show, accompanied by a crystal trophy.
This 1955 Oldsmobile 88 Restomod is the kind of build that takes everything people love about a big mid-century American cruiser and gives it the hardware to be enjoyed with a lot less compromise. Showing approximately 12,640 miles, it pairs unmistakable 1950s Oldsmobile styling with a custom blue and white two-tone paint job, a reupholstered white and blue interior, and a strong list of drivability upgrades. The 350ci V8 crate engine, 700R4 4-speed automatic, power steering, power front disc brakes, and Vintage Air make this far more than a stock-style restoration. It is a proper restomod with classic looks and a much more usable road-going setup.
This 1959 Chevrolet Corvette Restomod takes the unmistakable shape of the first-generation Corvette and backs it with a substantially upgraded performance package. Showing approximately 37,998 miles, this C1 is finished in Hot Rod Satin Black over a black leather interior and includes a body-colored removable hardtop. Its 350ci V8 is equipped with FAST individual-runner electronic fuel injection and an 8-stack velocity trumpet setup, while a Muncie 4-speed manual, 4.11 rear gears, front disc brakes, and American Racing wheels give the car a much more performance-focused character than a stock 1959 Corvette.
