Historic information of this model:
This 1937 Buick Limited Series 90L eight-passenger limousine is one of 965 produced, an exclusive model that accounted for only 0.5 percent of total Buick production that year.
Buick’s fortunes were in the ascendant in 1937, due in no small part to Buick President Harlow H. Curtice’s careful stewardship and parent corporation General Motors’ ability to withstand the financial shocks of the Great Depression. A believer in “more speed for less money,” Curtice also encouraged daring engineering and advanced styling that eschewed the boxy features of the 1920s in favor of the streamlined look introduced by GM Styling Chief Harley J. Earl on Buick’s 1936 models. At the top of the model hierarchy was the Series 90, comprising four distinct body styles. Endowed with elegance and engineering that approached Cadillacs in their refinement, the most majestic of these was the 90L limousine.Built on a 138-inch wheelbase, the Series 90 was powered by an all-new 320/120 HP straight-8 engine that would be a Buick workhorse through the 1950s.

In 1937, Buick further refined its lineup with hypoid rear gears, an improved electrical system, windshield defroster, front and rear sway bars and a steering-wheel horn ring, an industry first. A California example that qualifies as a Classic Car Club of America Full Classic, this 1937 Series 90 Limited limousine shows Earl’s styling influence in its “trunkback” configuration, covered dual side-mount spare tires in elongated pontoon front fenders and artfully detailed exterior trim. Finished in formal Imperial Black, this Series 90 limousine carries all the plumage reserved for its station: horizontal grille bars with complementing hood trim, chromed front and rear bumper guards, wide whitewall tires with chromed trim rings and center caps, fog lights and fender skirts, and a handsome gray interior featuring a glass divider window between the front seat and the rear passenger compartment.
