40 buick coupe pics.... let's see 'em

anybody out there have any good pics of 1940 buick coupes? would like to see what different syles of this car are out there!

 

Who'd want a land yacht like that.

 

Me for one... and I know where one has been sitting, now I may have to get the ****er...

 

The guy with a '58 Chevy is asking about land yachts? I love the 40 Buick. Don't think I have any pics though. Do a search.

 

I own a 41-Pontiac and this Buick drawn by Janne Kutja is my #1 inspiration so far. Eventhough it´s not a coupe and it also seems to be -41...

 

I had a 40 Olds coupe at one point.It wasn,t large by any means.....only room for 4 in it.

 

That's what I was thinking, what a *****

 

Here are some shots of my buddys 41' Buick Coupe. It's not a 40 but.......you get the idea.

 

Guys, lighten up! We're here to have some fun and exchange ideas and knowledge.

Love the old cars. The guy looking for the pictures (GMGrunt) and myself are going to FL to pick up a 40 Buick Coupe over Thankgiving weekend. One owner as far as I know. Nats North this year there was a killer 4o Buick coupe. Not traditional but a tremendous amount of time put into it.
Besides, Whos to talk about land yachts, for gosh-sakes the '58s been called the Pacific Princess more than once.

That's one of my favorites. I love 41 Buicks & I especially like the way that one's chopped. If I'd have seen that chop before I did mine, I probably would have went in that direction. Probably wouldn't have looked nearly as nice on a 40 chevy though.

Haven't seen it around lately though. Maybe because I don't get out enough myself?

 

Hey Cleatus, On behalf of my buddy, Thanks for the compliments. Yeah i agree with you....It is a beautiful car. I almost bought it from him and decided to build my hardtop instead...(still kicking myself )
Hey man, do you have any shots of your ride you can send me? I am doing a s**** book on taildragger coupes and would love to see your car.... If you can't send them, is there a post up where i can see your car. let me know.....Thanks

 

I found this on the net. May have been the HAMB.

 

I LOVE the '40 Buick coupes! There was one lurking here in Toledo that could maybe have been bought for less than $2,500. I had about three too many projects lurking in my garage, but I'll always regret not snagging that Buick.

 

Here is ´40 Pontiac I designed. I think the base body is the same or...
Well you get the idea:

 

thanks for the cool pics SHORTDOG! the car has a great look! i like the way the filled quarters windows look. can you tell me how much chop?

 

Well i don't know off hand but the guy who chopped my car is the same guy who chopped this Buick, so i'll ask and get back to you.

 

Great looking photos man....

 

I think it is funny that you went to FL to get yours and I bought on from a guy in MI.

 

The car that GMgrunt bought had not seen the light of day since 62 when it was put into that garage. Gosh it was solid. Stopped at Don Garlits on the way back and he spotted it and looked it over pretty close. Asked where county 15 was. When he found out there was an extend family attachment he thought it was pretty cool. I think he would have liked to have it too.
Buicks are cool rides. There's quite a few that I'd like to have. O'course I'd have to move a few things to make room.
What did you end up with?

 

This looks more like a '49 Buick Sedanette,.....there's one close to me, $4k and its mine,...stored in a barn for about 30 years, no rot, SOLID! I'm seriously thinking about it,...GOD only knows I cant afford it!!!

Hmmmm,.....now if I can just find an extra 4 grand laying around!!!

 

The one I bought is a project. It has a Camaro clip. I want to put a big Nailhead in it. Once I close on the new house I will be picking it up.

 

It is 1941.

 

I think this is a '40:

 

Some 40 to 42's...

 

'39 buicks have been catching my eye lately.

 

I'm picking one up (40 or 41) as soon as the snow melts. I haven't seen it, but the guy said it's pretty nice. It was rolled over and the top is squished down a bit, but he said that's all the damage there is... other than a broken engine mount. It probably rolled in the snow way back when. I guess the straight-8 still runs and everything is all there.
I can't wait to get it home... I've wanted to do a 'shine runner for awhile and this might be the ticket.

2002P51 I think that's a 39.Headlight pods instead of in the fenders.

 

Here's one I found nearby -- guess it's a '49 though. Still has the enginebut who knows. I think the guy would part with it for under $800
