1939 Buick Eight Suicide Door Sedan Survivor

Buick Other 1939 Description

1939 Buick Super Eight Suicide Door Sedan. This is a survivor that is not running. The motor turns over but has not been attempted to start. The car rolls fine but brakes do not work. All else seems fine. The car is complete and about 95% rust free. This would make a great restoration project or a hot rod. The interior is also complete but is a little tattered. This car was sitting for many years as a local restaurants front door attraction. Last ran about 3 years ago so it shouldn't be a major overhaul. This car will have to be trailer / towed as it does not run or stop. Please call / text / e-mail to set up a time to see it. Only other issues I see is drivers side glass is cracked and the drivers mirror is cracked. Tires are not great but do hold air for rolling. From 1936 to 1958. Buick's Special model range represented the marque's entry level full-size automobile. The '36 was a very successful year for Buick and also marked the first time of using names rather than the simple serial numbers which had been in use before. The Special continued to also be known as the 40-series. however. [1] The first Specials rode on a 118 in (3. 0 m) wheelbase. but for the next model year this was increased to 122 in (3. 10 m) as all Buicks grew for that year. The engine was also new. and was now of 248 cu in (4. 1 L) rather than 233 cu in (3. 8 L). [2] The Special (and all other Buicks as well) underwent a full restyling for 1939. with a more enclosed nose and a wider grille. The wheelbase was also two inches shorter
