Vehicle Detail
Offered here is another fine American classic awaiting it's next caretaker. This car is a 1940 Buick 40-4019 which features the incredibly desirable factory DUAL SIDE MOUNTS and factory IN-TRUCK AIR CONDITIONING! As you can see in the pictures, this car is a real looker and shows nicely in its dark blue exterior and gray interior, a true period correct finish on this car! Even better, the inside of the car is a time capsule with a completely orignial interior that always pleases the crowds at local cruise-ins! This car is motivated by a strong running and correct Buick Straight Eight which turns the correct column shift 3 speed manual transmission. The engine and transmission run perfectly in sync, making the car a joy to drive and can be taken out and enjoyed on any given day! The car runs extremely cool at all times and is a GREAT highway car, just a real pleasure to drive! This car gives you a sense of nostalgia which can only be expirenced in a car of this era! As said above, what really makes this car a stand-out piece is the fact that it has dual side mounts from the factory! This was a very rare Buick option for 1940 and gives this car the sort of majestic presence which you come to expect from the best examples of early 1940s American limosines! Further bolstering the rarity and desireability of the dual side mounts is the fact that this car features the rare and unique factory option of in-trunk FACTORY Air Conditioning! This is an unusual option to be seen on these cars and really makes this car stand out from other Buicks on the market today. They say that with classic cars, it is all about the options and trim levels on the car. Well, this car has it all with a fantastic exterior/interior color combination which is only enhanced by the level of desirability which the options on this car command. Most importantly on this car, though, is the fact that it drives like an absolute dream! This is a car that can be used to the owner's enjoyment on any given day but can still be thoroughly enjoyed attending regional shows or cruise nights at the local burger joint. We regrettably have to move this car along, but have greatly enjoyed it during the time of our ownership! The car has just recently been freshened up for resale and all systems gone through to ensure that it is a fantastic driver for the new owner. Over $650 has been invested in detailing and preparing the car for sale, our loss is your gain! The car is being listed at a sensible reserve low enough that we anticipate this car going on to a new owner by the end of the week so get those bids in and the best of luck in bidding!
