This 1957 Buick Model 40 Special Convertible was offered for sale at the 2007 Sports and Classic Car Auction presented by The Worldwide Group, in Hilton Head Island, SC where it was estimated to sell for $40,000 - $60,000. It was offered without reserve.
By 1957 the Series 40 which had seen the name-plate production since 1930, was a very ornate and beautiful machine. The design was very pleasing and accepted by many willing buyers. Under the hood was a proven 364 cubic-inch V8 engine that provided ample power to match the vehicles luxurious appointments.
This example has many rare factory options including the highly sought-after air conditioning, power windows, power seat, power brakes, and power steering. It is finished in its original color of red and white. It has been treated to a frame-off restoration since new and is still in excellent condition.
At auction the lot was sold for $56,100, falling in-between the estimated value.By Daniel Vaughan | Nov 2007
