After a successful 1940, in which Buick was the fourth placed United States automobile manufacturer, they solidified their place by continuing the modernization of their styling for the 1941 model year. Fenders integrated within the hood with wider grille and headlights pushed out to the fender edges and accentuated the cars width. Convertibles were instrumental in Buick’s sales success, and were second only to Ford in convertible sales in 1941. Also, for the first time on a Buick, a power convertible top was standard equipment. A complete set of gauges was set in an attractive Damascened chrome panel, as was the glove box-mounted clock. Engine maintenance became easier with the new one-piece hood, which allowed access from either side by activating the latch, blended nicely within the side trim. Releasing both latches would allow the hood to be removed entirely. Fashionable in 1941, this Buick six-passenger Convertible Coupe remains a quintessential reminder of pre-war elegance and style.

The beautiful convertible coupe on offer is a model 56C that was restored by Doug Seybold in 2007.
