1950 Buick Series 50 Super Station Wagon

The Super was Buick's second-highest line between 1940 and 1958. For 1949, it shared the new GM full-size C-body with its Cadillac cousins and the top-of-the-line Buick Roadmaster, but on a shorter wheelbase. It wore three chrome-ringed (simulated) VentiPorts on each front fender (vs. the Roadmaster's four) to denote its smaller 248 CID (4.1 liter) straight-eight engine and shorter engine compartment. A three-speed manual transmission was standard, with the Dynaflow automatic optional.

The 1950 Buicks were distinguished by a new 'bumper guard' grille with its trademark vertical chrome bars overlapping the front bumper like a serious overbite. Their styling was a bit more rounded and their windshields were the new one-piece curved glass. Their oval-shaped VentiPorts were moved up to the sides of their hoods, and the antenna for their available AM radio could be adjusted with a knob located just above the center of the windshield. The 1950 Super, powered by new 112-hosrepower two-barrel-carbureted 263 cubic-inch (4.3 L) Fireball I-8 was capable of over 90 miles per hour with the optional Dynaflow transmission. An all-time record 251,883 Buick Supers were sold.

The Estate Wagon was the most expensive and lowest-production model in the Buick Super line, and this example is one of just 2,480 produced in 1950. A frame-off restoration was performed within the last ten years. It is finished in its original Kashmir green metallic color, which was introduced late in the model year.
