After charting record production and sales for 1940, GMs cornerstone Buick division posted even better results for 1941 under the careful watch of division president Harlow Red Curtice, who went on to become GM president from 1953 to 1958. Under Curtices able leadership, Buick closely rivalled fellow GM division Cadillac in terms of luxury, style, and engineering prowess. Buick production was the fourth-highest in America from 1938 through the abbreviated 1942 model year and the redesigned 1941 models played a major role in positioning Buick as the car line of choice for upwardly mobile, performance-minded buyers with its entirely eight-cylinder model lines and standard dual Compound Carburetion for the Series 50 Super and above. Featuring advanced Valve in Head OHV architecture while most competing marques stuck with outdated L-head engines, Buick offered six distinct model lines for 1941 with a wide array of handsomely styled bodies available and a lower ride height for a decidedly dashing look. Continuing to benefit from a beautifully preserved, high-level restoration, this dashing 1941 Buick Super Model 56C Convertible Coupe is an outstanding and highly enjoyable, collector-quality vehicle. Finished in striking gloss black paint over beautifully contrasting Red leather upholstery, it benefits from a freshly completed mechanical reconditioning. The robust Buick inline 8-cylinder engine displaces 248 cubic inches and develops 125 factory-rated horsepower and most importantly, a very robust 278 pounds-feet of peak torque at just 2,200 engine revolutions, in concert with a 3-speed manual transmission. Highly desirable features and options include an AM radio and heater. A freshly completed mechanical reconditioning and detailing ensure this highly collectible vehicle is ready to enjoy to the fullest. While understandably popular when new, few top-quality examples of Buicks handsome Model 56C Convertible Coupe remain in existence and available today. As offered, this very fine example represents a truly rare opportunity to acquire and own one of the finest American motorcars of the immediate prewar era.
