1941 Buick Super 50 Phaeton convertible sedan, the first opportunity in 70 years to own the #1 judged Buick in the world! Its believed to be the first Phaeton built as well as 1 of only 467 U.S cars built that year, less than 1% of the 377,428 cars Buick produced in 1941! 5 year, no expense spared, photo chronicled with 1600 photos, 1000's of receipts totaling a documented $210,000! Restoration was done by the #1 Buick authority in the world Bill Anderson and the entire process is authenticated by noted Buick historian Terry Dunham. Judged one time, scoring a 394 points out of a possible score of 400 (99%) by known authorities Buick club of America and the AACA (Antique Automobile Club of America). This Buick also garnered both Gold and Senior AACA awards, almost unheard of for any automobile.

All the descriptions of the most spectacular restoration in the world are still second to how this car feels and the smiles it evokes when she rolls down the road.

Vehicle Claims and Descriptions:
Vehicle Descriptions, representations and claims are based on what can be seen by the human eye, documentation, previous professional experience, opinion, factory claims, and, or, information passed on to us by previous owners or restorers. It's to the best of our knowledge that everything we advertise has all indications of being that claim. Please inquire as to what documentation we have on the vehicle you are purchasing. It is with integrity and honesty that we describe our cars, but they are in fact, up to 100 years old, may have had many previous owners, modifications or alterations that are unknown to the sellers, so it's not possible to verify everything about every car.
As always we welcome personal inspections and or independent appraisers prior to the sale.
