Buick's Special model range represented the marque's entry level
full-size automobile. The '36 was a very successful year for Buick
and also marked the first time of using names rather than the
simple serial numbers which had been in use before. 1936 - that
Buick offered the sport coupe body style on the Special chassis.
Only 2,003 were built and 17 of those were exported. This was the
year that saw Buick's turnaround begin. There was so much new for
1936 - dramatic new styling, hydraulic brakes, slanted v-type
windshield, bullet-type headlamps, turret top bodies, independent
front suspension, new alloy pistons and improved water temperature
control. This Buick Special is powered by one of Buick's famous
straight eight motors - the 233 cubic-inch version that developed
93 horsepower thanks to a two-barrel Stromberg carburetor. It was
capable of 85 mph. This privately owner '36 with it's outstanding
green color and tan interior was meticulously cared for and it
shows. This stylish vehicle is located at our Milwaukee showroom.
