While Buick’s post-war lineup was still based upon its pre-war designs, the mildly revised 1946–1948 models nonetheless garnered very strong public favor. With the proven overhead valve Dynaflash inline eight, fully coil-sprung suspension, and Harley Earl-supervised styling with fade-away front fenders, broad grilles, and remarkably restrained bright-trim accents, these cars remain collector staples today. Fortunately they have enjoyed an excellent survival record, as they were solidly constructed and tended to endure nicely through the years.

The handsome Super convertible offered here has received a body-off restoration, performed to a high-quality standard and with excellent attention to detail, of which the consignor is very proud. Finished in the attractive two-tone color scheme of Aztec Green and Allandale Green, an original available option, it is equipped with the manual transmission and 115-horsepower engine standard to this model, as well as a push-button radio with windshield-mounted aerial, and a new set of chrome wire wheels with radial tires, adding welcome flash and additional drivability for modern cruising. The dashboard is a spectacular Art Deco design, with silver-tone instrumentation, and the top, seat, and windows are all power-operated, as was standard on this model.

Buick once claimed that when better automobiles were built, they would build them. This handsome Super is undoubtedly one of the nicest of its kind available and would be an excellent addition to local shows, concours d’elegance, and cruises this summer.
