EXTRA EXTRA read all about it! Check out this 1940 Buick Special
Convertible. Extremely rare Sport Phaeton model 41-C, with only 542

"Casablanca." This is a solid Texas car that has only received
restoration as needed and maintained over the years. It features a
Dynaflash Inline 8-cylinder engine and a 3-speed manual
transmission. It has a tan canvas convertible top. Interior
features include original turned-metal dashboard with woodgrain top
and restored trunk using correct materials. The completely new
