What’s special about this listing

Up for sale is a beautiful and largely original 1939 Buick Special Straight 8. This pre-war classic is a great example of Buick’s craftsmanship and style — an elegant black sedan powered by its smooth and reliable straight-8 engine.

The car runs and drives, starts easily, and shifts through the gears as it should. It has been well preserved, showing great patina and originality throughout. The black exterior pairs perfectly with the tan interior, giving it that timeless 1930s luxury look.

All major components are intact and functional. The chrome, trim, and glass are complete and in good shape for the car’s age. The odometer shows 51,775 miles.
