The big news at Buick in 1941 was compound carburetion. Standard on upper series and optional on Specials, it used a pair of two-barrel carburetors. The front carburetor functioned all the time, the barrels each feeding four cylinders. The rear carb, with only a float system and jets, came into play during acceleration and at high speeds, when its barrels worked in parallel with those of the front carb. The system was used in 1941 and ’42 only.

An older restoration, this Super Convertible Coupe has had some touch-up to the paint and the brightwork shows its age, with pits on the die-cast pieces. The tan canvas top and matching boot both show some stains. Likewise, the tan leather seats and brown carpet evidence some wear, and there are several cracks in the plastic steering wheel. The undercarriage is generally clean, but shows signs of use, while the engine compartment has significant soil.

Equipped with Sonomatic AM radio, heater, clock and directional signals, the car also has fender skirts and a curb feeler mounted on the right-hand side. In its present state, the car is of driver quality. With a full restoration it would be worthy of the concours circuit.
