1938 Buick Special

1938 Buick Special Business Coupe Full Restoration

This 1938 Buick Special Business Coupe represents a remarkable era of pre-war American automotive craftsmanship, blending elegant Art Deco styling with Buicks advanced engineering and legendary smoothness. Beautifully restored in 2016, this classic coupe has received a complete mechanical and cosmetic restoration and presents as an exceptional example of Buicks entry-level luxury automobile.

Finished in a refined Beige exterior with a matching Beige interior, this Buick showcases the sophisticated styling that made the Special a standout in the late 1930s. The flowing body lines, dual side-mounted spare tires, wide whitewall tires, and bright chrome accents create a timeless appearance that captures the elegance of the pre-war era.

The 1938 Buick Special was an important transitional model in Buick history and the final year Buick incorporated structural wood elements into its body construction, making it especially significant among collectors. The Art Deco-inspired design continues inside with an ornate dashboard, beautifully styled instrumentation, and classic details that reflect the craftsmanship of the period.
Inside, the Beige interior offers a comfortable and authentic driving environment. Equipped with a factory-style radio and heater, this coupe provides the charm of a vintage automobile while offering the comfort expected from a Buick. Every detail reflects the attention to quality and luxury that defined the brand.

Power comes from Buicks dependable 248 cubic-inch (3.8L) Straight-8 engine producing 107 horsepower, paired with a 3-speed manual transmission. Buicks advanced engineering for the time included hydraulic drum brakes, torque tube drive, and all-coil suspension, providing a remarkably smooth and refined driving experience compared to many of its flathead-powered competitors.
Recent mechanical updates include a new battery and new water pump, ensuring dependable operation and enjoyment. This beautifully restored Buick Special Business Coupe is a wonderful representation of pre-war automotive design, offering a unique combination of history, elegance, and drivability.
