Buick Motor Car Company was first established in Detroit in 1903. In 1904 the firm moved to Flint, Michigan and by 1908 it had become one of the original companies in W.C. Durant’s new General Motors. Buick quickly established itself as a builder of reliable, stylish, slightly higher priced automobiles. In 1938 Buick and Harley Earl produced GM’s first “Dream Car."

For 1941 Buick introduced twin carburetion, new bodies and a two-way hood that could be opened from either side. Buick’s “Fireball” eight-cylinder engine was fitted with dome-shaped pistons and combustion chambers in 1941. The Buick Special models all received the new bodywork with front fenders that extended almost to the front doors with headlamps fully integrated into the fender lines and a wider grille.

This Convertible Coupe, painted in an attractive light yellow with a black convertible top with red piping that matches the exquisite interior setting, and proves why Buick was seen as a style leader in this era. Clean in all areas, this Buick is in excellent overall condition. Overall this Convertible Coupe remains a stunning example with its brilliant chrome trim elements and desirable accessories. This Buick Special is equipped with dual spotlights, outside rear view mirror, skirts, power top, wide whitewall tires, radio, twin foglights and bumper guards. The jack and spare are tucked away in the neatly presented trunk.

The Special’s paintwork provides a warm contrast to its lavish red interior, which remains virtually spotless. The dash layout features an engine-turned finish and full instrumentation. The carefully-detailed overhead-valve inline eight-cylinder engine is fitted with the optional dual carburetion. Power is transferred via a column-shift, three-speed manual transmission. A mere 4,285 Buick Special Model 44C Convertible Coupes were built in 1941 and few survive today; particularly one in such fine condition as this fashionable example.
