1939 Buick business coupe Coupe Brown RWD Automatic

Beautiful 1939 Buick Business Coupe Restomod!! This is not your typical restomod that you will see at your local car show, this truly is a very rare and unique automobile. It took about 5 years, hundreds of hours and lots of money invested to get this Buick where it is today. During the restoration her original gorgeous body lines and curves were preserved to make her look original on the outside but upgrades were made to the car to make it safer, more reliable and more fun to drive! Power steering, power disc brakes, air conditioning, fuel injection and Bluetooth are just a few special features this Buick has to offer.

The upgrades on the frame and suspension were handled by hales speed shop in Texas. The center x-member was removed from the factory frame and the rails were boxed. The front end was converted to a Farman Fabrications MII stage II system, with 2-inch drop spindles for a street Rod stance and a power rack for effortless maneuvering. Ride quality is improved by QA1 shocks and springs mounted on all 4 corners. The power transfers to the tires by the Quick Performance Racing 9 inch rear end with 3.90 gears, 31 spline axles and a locker posi differential. Another huge improvement was the stopping. The car stops exceptionally well thanks to the Wilwood 11 inch front disc brakes and 11 inch rear drums plumbed to a reverse 90-degree under dash master cylinder and booster setup from Kugel Komponents.

The power is delivered by a GM 376 cubic inch LS3 engine that makes 525 horsepower and 435 lb ft of torque. The polished stainless fuel rail covers are from American Car Craft and dress up the engine bay nicely. The spectre performance intake system draws cold air from the rear of the engine compartment through filtered intake tubes feeding a custom throttle body. The LS is paired with a 4L70E overdrive transmission and a driveshaft from Automotive Driveline Supply. The 3 inch exhaust system tucks up for ground clearance and has a nice throaty sound to it under acceleration but is quiet inside the car.

The beautiful lines on the body of this 39’ Buick are all the more stunning in the rich Bentley color called Havana (a beautiful metallic dark chocolate hue). The paint job was done by one of the top shops in this area. The build was completed in 2016 and has less than 2600 miles on it. The paint shows very nicely but it’s not perfect, there are some minor imperfections that are noticeable which is to be expected for a street driven car.

Compton Custom Interiors installed a leather-covered interior over the original seat and original style door panels along with a custom covered trunk and a custom built storage area in the rear interior compartment that looks like vintage luggage. The original seats and original-style door panels were covered in tan hides from Replicate Custom Leather and the floor has all been covered in a beautiful German square weave carpet. The trunk lid is power and activated by a switch, when you open it up you will see a very nicely detailed trunk area.

Car is also equipped with vintage air conditionin, vintage series gauges by Classic Instruments, a AM/FM/Bluetooth radio stereo system with Addison processor, JL Audio amp and Alphine speakers. The LimeWorks 16-inch 1940-style steering wheel and 1940 Ford-style column look amazing in the car and really give the car that classic feel while your driving. The car rides on 15” Wheel Vintiques 20 Series Solid wheels with vintage style caps and rings (rears are wider than fronts) and BF Goodrich Silvertown wide whitewall tires, rears are 235/70R15s and Front are 185/70R15.
