This particular example spent the vast majority of its life in California and currently displays only 66,313 believed to be actual miles! A largely original example, this Buick has undergone some sympathetic paint work and presents with the amount of patina that one would expect from a nearly 80 year old motorcar. It is accompanied by its original owner’s manual, tools, period brochures, California registrations dating back to the mid 1980’s and more! We are proud to offer this wonderful 1940 Buick Special Sport Coupe to the most astute collector, investor or enthusiast who appreciates the particular charm that comes with a pre-war American classic.
