Vehicle Description

4566-TPA 1940 BUICK SUPER 8 COUPE

Prepare to be amazed by this 1940 Buick Super 8 Coupe, a true survivor with an astonishingly believed low 43,019 miles on the odometer! (previous title showed actual miles, current title is exempt) Yes, you read that right - this octogenarian beauty is believed to have covered less than 500 miles per year on average since it first hit the roads during Franklin D. Roosevelt's presidency. Clad in a dignified burgundy hue with sporty orange pinstripes, this time capsule on wheels is a testament to the enduring quality and craftsmanship of the pre-war era. The all-steel body, proudly displaying its earned patina, stands tall on the original Buick 16" steely wheels, wrapped in era-appropriate 7.00-16 tires and topped with gleaming chrome caps. The low mileage is evident in the well-preserved exterior, a clear indication that this Super 8 has led a cherished life.

Inside, the tan vinyl bench seats, thought to have been recovered at some point, welcome you to a cabin that feels like a snapshot from 1940. The original gauges and dash are in remarkable condition, shows careful stewardship this car has enjoyed. The three-spoke steering wheel and column-mounted shifter for the 3-speed manual transmission complete the authentically vintage driving experience.

Lifting the hood reveals the 248 cubic inch inline-8 engine, a powerplant that has seen less than 45,000 miles of use in its 83-year lifespan. Fed by a single barrel carburetor and an oil bath breather, this engine is paired with a 3-speed manual synchronous transmission, offering a driving experience that is as engaging as it is rare. The upgraded aluminum radiator ensures reliable cooling, while the 6-volt electrical system stays true to the car's origins. Manual steering and brakes provide a pure, unfiltered connection between driver and machine.
