Estate Station Wagon   The top-of-the-line Buick, the Roadmaster, and the Super model both rode on the longer 121.5-inch wheelbase. The Super was powered by a straight 8-cylinder engine fitted with a two-barrel carburetor and displacing 112 horsepower. Top speed was 90 miles per hour. Buick introduced the Estate Wagon on the Super chassis in 1946 and given a woody body produced by Hercules Body Company of Evansville, Indiana. The Hercules' ash-framed mahogany paneling made it a recognizable builder in the wood body industry, as most other builders used the plainer birch-paneled products. The Hercules' woodies featured an Everflex-covered padded roof and a horizontally split tailgate with a single window on the top and a built-in folding tray on the bottom. In 1946, there were 570 Hercules Body cars produced. This 1946 Buick Super Estate Wagon was delivered new in northern Michigan and has remained in the area since and has the original wood. It has been given a restoration since new.
