All original and numbers matching! This superb example of a 1941
Super 8 will grab the attention of anyone who knows these cars well
and has an extraordinary story to back it. The story goes back in
1941 when this car was purchased new by a young gentleman from the
Buick dealership and was put in storage in 1942 just before
shipping off to war. Unfortunately, this young man made the
ultimate sacrifice and would never truly get to enjoy this
beautiful car. Left in storage for many years on blocks so the
suspension and tires were not under the weight of the car, the
battery was taken out to prevent corrosion, the chrome and
stainless trim was coated with bees wax to preserve the metal, the
underside was lightly coated in machine oil, and was then covered
in a breathable cotton cover. The car had sat so long the cotton
threads had deteriorated to dust, but all the prep work did the
trick. No rust issues were found on the car and just need a good
clean up to make it look like new. The radiator and gas can were
cleaned up, all rubber hoses were replaced, and the carburetor was
rebuilt to get back to running condition. This Buick reads 15,369
on the odometer currently and looks spectacular. The Lancaster Gray
lays nicely upon the swooping fenders and body lines and is
equipped with the original glass. As you get behind the wheel and
fire it up with the simple press of the throttle, the straight 8
comes to life and purrs smoothly. The interior is an upgraded
Roadmaster interior and still has the original tube-style radio in
working condition. Drop the three-on-the-tree down into gear and
set off! The ride is smooth and floats down the road with ease. It
is truly a unique experience to drive and will take you back to a
different era. This great piece of American history is in need of a
new home and is ready to be enjoyed. This vehicle is located in our
Denver showroom. You can view this 1941 Buick Super 8 in greater
