1941 Buick Super 3-Passenger Business Coupe

MotoeXotica is proud to announce another classic American automobile a 1941 Buick Super 3-Passenger Business Coupe. Using General Motors new C-body platform Buick began to offer four different body styles of their Series 50 Super; with the 3-passenger business coupe being one of the rarest body styles. By the time Buick was done with their Super B-Series production a total of 93865 Supers were produced; from that total only 2452 Super 3-Passeneger Business Coupes were produced. That equates to just over 2.5% of the Super’s total production leaving the factory as Business Coupes! This particular model’s rarity is due to the fact that 1941 was the only year of production. Buick created their Super series by using a combination of two different cars they already offered; the Roadmaster and Series Special 40. From the cowl back the Roadmaster body was placed on the C-body frame the Series Special 40 front clip completed the car. The result of that combination was an economical body design with voluminous interior room while providing better fuel economy. This formula is still used in many luxury cars today. For instance most companies offer their best luxury models with a base engine from a lower model for those who do not value performance and rather would have an economical engine with the same amount of luxury.

This 3-Passenger Business Coupe is a stunning example of Buick’s Super Series model. As stated by the previous owner this car has been repainted and re-chromed approximately 15 to 20 years ago the rich black paint is in very good condition and shows extremely well along with all of the exterior chrome accessories and trim. The previous owner also stated this Buick underwent a frame-up restoration at time of repaint and judging from the condition of the body it was done professionally. Both sealed beam headlights seem to be original and perform their intended function well. Only available on the 1941 Super Series was a redesign of the clam-shell style hood which opens in one piece from either side of the car.

Taking a step inside this classic American business coupe the amount of passenger space is immediately apparent. A tan vinyl bench seat which is in excellent condition allows enough room for the 3 passengers to ride in comfort. If more passengers need to enjoy this Buick two tan vinyl rear jump seats are tucked away behind the front bench seat. The original steering wheel and Art Deco dashboard appears to be original and has aged gracefully with the car. Newer black rubber lines the floor pans and is period correct.

Mechanically this Buick is powered by a straight-eight Fireball engine which as previously mentioned came over from the Buick’s Special Series 40. Mated to the Fireball is a column shifted 3-speed manual gearbox delivering power to running gear in a smooth and proper manner. The rear suspension consists of leaf-springs connected to a straight or “live” rear axle; while the front is handled by independent coil spring suspension. All four wheels are stopped by drum brakes which are hidden behind what appear to be original wheels and hub caps. Finally Firestone whitewall tires are mounted to the wheels there is also a full-size whitewall spare; all of the tires are in very good condition only showing very minor road use.

What are you waiting for? This is your chance to own a very rare one year only full-size classic American business coupe. This car is perfect for any Buick collector that is missing their showpiece Super Series! GET OUT AND DRIVE!
