Summary
[edit]DescriptionBuick Super Straight-8 ca 1940 dressed for war at Dover Docks.jpg |
English: 1940 Buick Series 50 Model 51 in USAF paint scheme. The 1940 Buick in question is clearly a Super (given that it has hood moldings consistent with the smaller straight-8). Specials and Centurys were built on GM's B-body and Supers and Roadmasters were built on GM's C-body. In 1940 the GM C-body received cutting-edge "torpedo" styling that featured shoulder and hip room that was over 5" wider, the option of eliminating the running boards and exterior styling that was streamlined and 2-3" lower.
