Vehicle Description
This 1948 Buick Super 8 Convertible is a beautiful cruiser that is
sure to grab anyones eyes rolling down the road or at the local car
show. Consumer demand for Buicks were strong after the war, with
many of the returning soldiers yearning for a nice family home in
suburbia with a luxurious Buick in the driveway. The Buick Super
was the mid-level model for Buick, less expensive than the
Roadmaster but nicer than the Special. Despite high demand at the
time for new automobiles, the early post-war Buicks were just
slightly different than the 1942 models, with the '48 Supers
featuring new "Super" script on the front fenders and a bit of a
lower stance. The '48 Super Convertibles were advertised as "the
smartest thing on wheels" and "your constant invitation to
adventure." Under the hood on this particular '48 Buick Super
Convertible is a 248 Cubic Inch Inline 8 Cylinder engine paired
with a single 2 barrel carburetor that pushed out 115 horsepower in
its day. The 248 Straight 8 is mated to a 3 speed manual
transmission with a column-mounted "three-on-the-tree" shift lever,
which was standard equipment back in 1948. The engine has received
several reliability upgrades including an electric fuel pump, an
alternator that replaced the antiquated generator, and 12 volt
electrical system. The beige cloth power convertible top is in nice
shape and goes up and down with the simple push of a button. The
exterior on this '48 Buick Super Convertible has been refinished in
a beautiful Custom Dark Blue paint job. The interior on this '48
Buick is superb. The front and rear bench seats were recently
reupholstered in a beautiful beige imitation leather that provides
a beautiful contrast in the overall look of the car. The dash, door
panels, and steering wheel all appear to be in their stock
configuration as well. The dash is equipped with a speedometer,
battery gauge, temperature gauge, oil pressure gauge, and fuel
gauge, as well as an AM Radio and clock. If you're looking for a
classic convertible with a great look, this 1948 Buick Super 8
Convertible is the car for you. Give us a call today!
