For Sale at Auction: 1942 Buick Special in Williams, Iowa

1942 Buick Special Sedan. This was an abbreviated year for Buick and all the other automakers with Buick production ending February 4, 1942 after the U.S. entered World War II. This Special Sedan was purchased from the original Phoenix, Arizona owner in 2002 with 17,500 confirmed miles on the odometer. It runs and drives very nicely. The Buick was part of the 41SE Series and has the Century interior which was used on only two models in this series. The five main bearing 248ci overhead valve straight-eight engine is mated to a 3-speed synchromesh manual transmission. The engine features dual Stromberg carburetors. Much of its life this car was warehoused in Idaho which may explain why it has such low mileage. The factory price for these Special Sedans was $1287 and 2286 of these were produced before the factory was converted for military production.
