This 1941 Buick four-door Super Touring Sedan is finished in gorgeous Ranier Blue with correct Dante Red wheels and wide whitewall tires. This is reported as an incredibly nice car with only 84,960 actual miles and the recipient of Silver awards at two recent Buick Club of America shows in 2011 in Colorado. It is stated to be a very rare pre-war Buick with the factory high performance dual-carb straight eight engine that runs perfectly, drives perfectly, was recently driven on a 1,000 mile Buick Club of America event. It is further reported that everything (head and taillights, brake lights, turn signals, wipers, horn, all instruments, heater, etc.) all in proper working condition. Even the factory clock works properly and the factory AM radio (with correct roof-mounted antenna) sounds great. The drivetrain is all original and unmodified. The Buick starts right up and settles into a smooth quiet idle with no issues; no smoke, no leaks, no noises. The dual-carb option (predecessor to the later four-barrel) was available for only two years and works perfectly. The three-speed manual transmission shifts smoothly and the factory rear end allows relaxed highway driving.

The Buick displays excellent correct gray cloth interior with the fold down armrest in the rear. There are no marks on the seats, no wear on the carpets, and it has a perfect headliner. Excellent dash with no sunfade and no wear, no cracks in the factory ivory bakelite steering wheel. None of the cigarette lighters or ashtrays have ever been used and there is no evidence that the car was ever smoked in. Very comfortable seats and with lots of room in the rear.

The car has an excellent all-steel original body with no dents, no dings, no waves, body filler or signs of damage. The underside is also excellent and there is no rust or damage. The paint is stunning and is so dark it is almost black. Excellent glass and all windows open smoothly including the crank-operated rear vent windows. Excellent weatherstripping, window whiskers, and trunk molding. Excellent chrome bumpers front and rear, excellent chrome head and taillight bezels, and excellent polished brightwork and trim. The trunk contains the original spare tire, jack assembly, and carpet. Just professionally detailed, polished, hand-waxed, and turnkey ready for cruises and shows. Runs and drives perfectly and is extremely reliable; starts every time and drives perfectly. Recently completed a 1,000 mile road trip to the Buick Nationals without fault. Documentation includes the owner's manual and the trophies from the Buick Club of America. This is, overall, a very nice car.
