This Convertible Coupe, painted in a striking blue with a white convertible top, is proof why Buick was seen as a style leader in this era. An older restoration, it was totally rebuilt to a prize-winning level slightly over a decade ago and remains in excellent overall condition. There is just the mildest of patina evident in some areas, but overall this Convertible Coupe remains a stunning example with its brilliant chrome and desirable accessories. This Buick Special is equipped with a spotlight, radio, dual outside rear view mirrors, skirts, power top, wide whitewall tires, twin fog lights and bumper guards. The jack, tool roll, lug wrench and spare are all tucked away neatly in the trunk.

The Special's bright blue paintwork also provides a bold contrast to its lavish red interior, which remains virtually spotless. The dash layout features an engine-turned finish and full instrumentation. Neutral-colored carpets were tastefully fitted throughout, including the trunk. 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.
