Vehicle Description
Words can not express the quality and elegance of this 1936 Buick
Special 40 Series. Very desirable 3 window coupe. This particular
1936 Buick coupe has been through a complete and collector quality
grade restoration to factory specs, even down to the correct wiring
on the amber driving lights. Powered by the Buick 233 Cu In
straight 8, and backed by the 3 speed manual transmission. Fuel is
delivered by a single Stromberg 2 barrel downdraft carburetor. As
you can see from the pictures, all mechanics have been restored to
factory specs including the wiring harness. The factory black paint
code 422 is in excellent condition, as well as all the exterior
chrome. Some features of this beautiful Buick that help it stand
out are the dual side mount tires, side chrome on the hood, front
driving lights, red pinstripe and fabulous chrome grill. Riding on
matching body color factory wheels, that also have the matching red
pin stripe, that are wrapped with Firestone wide white wall tires.
The trim code 245 interior is also finished in the factory style
mohair material, and is in excellent condition. All gauges work
just as they should, including the glove box mounted clock. This
great example of the fabulous 1930's cars, runs and drives just as
a 1936 Buick should. This car is ready for the show circuit, or
just a cruise on a sunny day to get ice cream. The time that was
spent to detail shows without looking to hard. The passion the
owner had for this special vehicle was second to none. Some of the
