The Special was a mainstay of the Buick division line-up for many years, and without question, the most desirable of this 40 Series line was the convertible body style. Attractive and economical, this car offered the lesser horsepower than the larger offerings from Buick, yet was quite sprightly for a large convertible. Presented in a two-tone red and white exterior with matching vinyl interior, this Buick is indeed “special.” It is well-equipped for the day with an automatic transmission, power steering and brakes, AM radio, defrost and a Continental kit. It has been treated well over the years as evidenced by the quality finish of the paint, chrome and trim. The Buick Special represents a great way to enjoy a base level 1950s convertible.
