1941 Buick Super 50 Phaeton convertible sedan, the first opportunity in 70 years to own the #1 judged Buick in the world! It's believed to be the first Phaeton built as well as 1 of only 467 U.S cars built that year, less than 1% of the 377,428 cars Buick produced in '41! 5 year, no expense spared, photo chronicled with 1600 photos, 1000's of receipts totaling a documented $220,000! Restoration was done by the #1 Buick authority in the world Bill Anderson and the entire process is authenticated by noted Buick historian Terry Dunham. Judged one time, scoring a 394 points out of a possible score of 400 (99%) by known authorities Buick club of America and the AACA (Antique Automobile Club of America). This Buick also garnered both Gold and Senior AACA awards, almost unheard of for any automobile. Talk about show detailed driveline components, painted grey for the first production cars ( later they became red) Freshly rebuilt 248cid "fireball" Dynaflash inline 8 cylinder with twin down draft carburetors, rebuilt super smooth 3 speed manual transmission, freshly rebuilt and detailed rear differential. Original color coded wiring, still retaining the Generator equipped electrical system, its engine compartment detailing is world class. Mirror finished in its correct Carlsbad black paint, show waxed and detailed, great looking red (pre distressed) leather interior with seating for 6. Correct coded tan cloth Stafast convertible top w/ red piping. All new triple plated chrome and polished stainless trim, restored and working Tube type Sonomatic AM radio, working windshield wiper system, restored 3 spoke "Banjo" style steering wheel, great looking engine turned dash trim, fully restored array of gauges including 120mph Speedo-Amps-Water and Fuel gauge. Even the trunk was not only classy, its restoration is beautiful with two tiered shelving, houndstooth mat and original date coded 1940 spare tire! Color matched correct 16" wheels w/ pinstripes, wide whitewall tires and polished center caps. All the descriptions of the most spectacular restoration in the world are still second to how this car feels and the smiles it evokes when she rolls down the road. Great acceleration, super tight chassis, rattle and squeak, its grace is recognized by every passerby with a thumbs up. This is really the way to buy a collector car, the restoration funded by someone else and then own it for just about half price. These are considered the next "Duesenberg "in the terms of cars to appreciate quickly, it was also the last 4 door convertible built by GM. Also keep in mind that World War II was the next year and vehicle production virtually ceased, again just another notch of rarity. Get yourself not only a great investment, but a great car to show or just drive.

I would listen to Big Band Glenn Miller music on that car! I would never touch or change a thing! What an awesome piece of Real American Beauty!
This Buick is Superb !!! The man did a Beautiful Job. Out Standing !!!!!
I love this series but Mr. Fleming: you have to fix your ceiling!!! I can see a lot of the panels sagging; some having moist stains and whatsoever. This will not do any good to the appeal of the showroom.
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous car!
OMG! That thing is so gorgeous!
That's a sleek looking car!
Unfortunately, pre-war Buicks only came with a manual transmision. Olds and Caddy had automatics as options in that period. .
What a great car. Funny how in 1941 they made convertibles with 6 roomy seats compared to today where you are lucky to get 4, and extremely lucky to get 4 usable seats (honestly can't even think of a convertible with usable rear seats).
Straight eight engines also went out of production because the crankshafts were that long that they actually twisted. Plus it was almost impossible to "feed" all cylinders evenly with a single carburetor, cylinders 1 and 8 usually ran too lean and overheated quickly.

Note that this 1941 Buick had “compound” carbs (dual carbs)

If the starter button is under the gas pedal,is there a "lock out" when you flatten it? Wow, you even get the original "Moaners Annual" in the glove box,Emma Chisit? $100.000, $200.00, $300.00 half a Mil?

+john brown The vacuum when the engine starts opens a switch that prevents the starter from turning. The starter can only turn when there's no vacuum.
My dad had one of those.
The rear door are suicide type on this phaeton and it is easy to enter and exit the car, but it can pop open by the wind.

No, they're not. They open at the rear.

Agreed, can't go visiting and leave it in the streets, pity you have to be with it at all times when out, or be in a super safe location.
Was this the same model they used in Casablanca,why oh why is his shirt tucked into his jeans just so that belt buckle can scratch the juts out of that immaculate paint job.

+rhett burger No. The movie car was a 1940 Phaeton. Our family had a 1940 Buick Special, on which I later learned to drive. So this Super 50 on offer really moistened my peepers.
Please dont put a new stereo system in that car...
Phaethon means "radiant" for the Greek sun god Helios.

The car is a sex symbol. It's strong, beautiful, & solid-just the way you want your lover to be. I've gotta check my Powerball tickets now, 'cause I'd love to drive it just once, even on the minefields(streets) of Chicago.
what a monster lol

That car is longer than a Chevrolet chevelle, good grief you haven’t a clue
You mean GM didn't just shove a Chevrolet engine in and say that's good enough. Back when a marque was unique and had value. Now they are all just jelly beans.
It would be a shame to put that car on the road.
Isn't "Built by Fisher" all Bullshit, I mean, who else, built "in house" for GM?, even yer cheap Chevy.

+john brown The answer to your question is Fleetwood. Fisher built chevy buick etc and the low end Cadillac, Fleetwood built the high end Caddy bodies.
The interior leather work doesn't look so good. Lots of puckering and wrinkles.
The engine is the wrong color. So, not restored.

+Mark Rookus exactly what I was thinking. Supposed to be red. Somebody really screwed that one up.
