Details
This 1936 Buick Special Series 40 is powered by a 233ci inline eight-cylinder engine and is backed by a three-speed manual transmission that sends its power to the rear wheels. This sedan wears black paint with beige cloth upholstery. This depression-era vehicle was designed with a synchromesh transmission, suicide doors, coil spring knee-action front suspension, hydraulic brakes, and a generator. The straight-eight engine is the correct configuration for the year and model, and the five-digit odometer shows 84,114 miles, but the true mileage is unknown. The current owner is believed to be just the third caretaker of the car. It is located in Saint Petersburg, Florida.
The third-party pictures of this 1936 Buick represent the car well and hide nothing. The deep black paint shows plenty of age and is in need of a respray. The car's shape compliments the black paint, and even though the exterior is weathered, it still appears stately. The chrome is fading like one would expect from a car 90-year-old car and rust is present in the trunk and on the underside of the car. Despite its aged appearance, the engine compartment and mechanical condition provide evidence that the car has been cared for over the years. The interior is torn in several places and in need of refurbishment. The owner reports that the car does run and drive but will require some light recommissioning, such as repairing the right front brake line. Overall the car is a strong candidate for a restoration or just a recommission to get it into solid driver-quality condition. Included in the sale is a new wiring harness, NOS parts, past owner receipts, and ownership documentation, as well as 1 set of keys.
This Buick is being sold through a Pro and is located in Saint Petersburg, Florida.
