    My brother got this 1940 Buick last weekend all original with the straight eight and it runs it did sit for a year or two but ran under its own power!!!!!!!!!! Think he'll just make it a runner and run it to have a bunch of fun....

  6. The only thing cooler than a 40 Buick Coupe, is one that still has its original straight 8. Other than the jack stands, dont change a thing.

    Buick's were alway a good car ! Will make a great cruiser for the family or friends !
    My Dad had a 56 Buick Special and I loved that car ! It was big and roomy with a strong running engine . I miss the chrome on the dash and the front ends .
    Enjoy the ride !
