The 1940 Buick "C-body" (often called the "torpedo" body) was a revolutionary streamlined design. This wider, lower platform eliminated running boards, boosted interior space, and is considered one of the most beautiful pre-war classics.

Excellent driver, 8 cylinder engine with the 3 speed column shift that runs and drives great with modern traffic. This Buick has been well loved by its past few owners. It has been serviced well through the years, has never needed a full restoration, and has been garage kept. It has a 12 volt conversion for reliability, an updated ignition switch, under-dash gauges, and new tires with less than 200 miles on them. The exterior paint, and cosmetics in general are older, but the car displays wonderfully as is. Re-chromed bumpers and taillight bezels. Very good interior, nice dash, and a beautiful steering wheel. Tidy engine bay and trunk. Hard to believe an 86 year old car drives and looks this good... This would be a very nice car for all your cruise night events, local car shows, or just own/drive for fun!
