Buick was in a particularly good position since it had redesigned much of its line for 1942, and these cars were lightly face-lifted and re-trimmed for the post-war boom. Gone were the prewar Century and Limited lines, but the 121-inch wheelbase, entry-level Special returned with a two-door sedanet and a four-door sedan. The only available engine was the 248-cid straight-eight motor that delivered 110 hp and was mated to a three-speed manual transmission. Prices were right around $1,550, making the Special approximately $500 cheaper than the Buick Super. Even so, with only two body styles, a smaller size, and minimal features, fewer than 3,000 buyers opted for the base Special
