1939 Buick Series 40 Special Navigation
This 1939 Buick Special Sport Coupe wears a well-preserved older restoration in dark green over a grey striped interior. It rides on red wheels with trim rings and chrome hub caps wrapped with wide whitewall tires. The rear of the vehicle features light-up turn signals contained within the Buick Eight emblem. The interior houses a heater and electric clock, and a wood-grained dashboard. The wood-grain detailing is continued on the window surrounds. The 248 cubic-inch inline eight-cylinder engine produces 107 horsepower and is backed by a three-speed manual transmission.By Daniel Vaughan | Feb 2022
