Vehicle Description
This 1949 Buick Super is a true patina street machine with an
upgraded suspension and a dual quad V8 lurking within. And while
this has that cool sleeper look that we know you love, there are
also the right upgrades, like air conditioning. So this has the
distinct style, serious power, and even the right features to make
it a fun classic.
The gray/green color of the car might as well be original to the
car, because it has the ideal look of decades being worn-in. It's
this true patina look that really sets this Buick apart from the
moment in comes into view. And the lowered stance on the American
Racing Torq Thrust wheels signals this is a Special is
extra-special. Overall, this street machine classic style is
absolutely understood. The Buick's design in '49 did a great job of
blending classic elements with the new era of streamlined cars. The
long fender lines extend through the door sheetmetal both on the
front and rear. The form-fitting bumpers look great with just the
right amount of patina to fit in with the overall untouched
attitude of the body. And there are terrific details everywhere
from the waterfall grille to the triple portholes in the fenders.
So you have a car that looks totally vintage, and with plenty of
style to get respect for all the modifications within.
The interior keeps the classic style going with two rows of extra
plush cloth bench seats. In fact, there's almost a limo's worth of
legroom in the back, and there's even a fold-down armrest for added
comfort. And speaking of comfortable, the upgraded to cold-blowing
R134a really keeps everyone happy. And while the Art Deco dash
makes sure this always feels vintage from the driver's seat, they
also added all the right pieces to give this the ideal cruiser
feeling. That's why you have worthwhile upgrades, like the
wood-rimmed steering wheel on a tilt column, Lokar floor shifter,
auxiliary gauge trio, and a Bosch tach.
The piano-style hinge of the hood is always something that draws
attention, and it's absolutely worth showcasing what's in the
engine bay. While the straight-eight of these Supers made them
desirable in classic times, it also left plenty of room for serious
muscle. This is a 455 cubic-inch V8 from the era when Buicks had
some of their most potent machines. And it that wasn't already
enticing enough, the dual air screens signal this has a twin set
out four-barrel carburetors feeding the big V8. Plus, if you really
want to have people hear your motor upgrade, this has provisions
for electric cutouts on the dual exhaust already in place (will
need servicing.) Not only do you have a powerful motor, but also
the right supporting components. That means a TH400 three-speed
transmission that's stout enough to handle the power while also
delivering nice automatic cruising. There's an upgraded tubular
A-arm independent front suspension, ladder bars in the rear, power
steering, and power brakes with discs up front.
Complete with build receipts and maintenance records, this is a
cool custom Buick with patina style, big power, and all the right
upgrades. That makes for a distinct and easy street machine that
you need to get your hands on right now. Call today!!!
