**1940 Buick : Super 8-Coupe Convertible; model 50 series:::::Two owners in 75 years.
No holes in floors, trunk, with very small holes on inner rocker.
**Body & Paint: solid body metals with very little repair, if any. Splash fender areas & wells are rust free. The paint is original (old & still serving). Driver's roll up window glass has a crack, but is firm, still water tight, & winds flawlessly. There are no visual blocks, so no need to change any time soon. Glass is available on Ebay. All other glass is perfect. Windows roll up/down great. All chromes (door window surround frames, etcetera) are Nice. Doors close nicely with hardly any effort & have good alignments with NO drops. And, they lock. No rust on door bottoms or skins.
**Interior & top: ALL recently NEW. Top switch is under dash not hooked up; hand operation is the NOW method). Top clamps nicely with very little effort.
**Engine: the straight eight overhead original motor. Smooth operation, no oil smoke, not overheat & no valve tapping
**Stability: Stays easily true on road with minimal steering wheel play (acceptable & better than most I've known). Had recent new brake work (stop on a dime thing). .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .
**Transmission: manual column shift seems to be flawless(rebuilt). No clutch slippage, noise, or kinking(all new parts).
**Gauges: That are working-gas, charge, oil pressure, temperature. Not work: rear directional lights, horn. Speedometer works, but seems half scale). Heater is hooked up ( fan motors under the front seat is heated seat 1940 STYLE ). .. .. .... The emergency brake does work, as does generator.
