Our Take:
- The 1936 Buick Special Series 40 Business Coupe is an automotive gem from a bygone era. This model marks the last year Buick offered the iconic rumble seat—a feature reminiscent of carefree summer drives and simpler times. If you've ever wanted to literally sit outside the box, the rumble seat gives a playful nod to open-air travel.
- Under the hood, you'll find an inline 8-cylinder engine, a powerplant that brings to mind the robust, straightforward engineering of the 1930s. These engines were the workhorses of their day, known for their smooth yet torquey performance. Paired with a 3-speed manual transmission, there’s an engaging driving experience waiting for those who appreciate the tactile feel of vintage gear changes.
- The notion of a car staying in one place all its life is a romantic one—this vehicle has been a Florida resident from day one. It's often said that cars from sunny states like Florida are more likely to be rust-free, which is like sunshine in the world of classic car ownership. A clean body is a joy forever, isn't it?
- Besides its unique history, this car has a few period-correct goodies: a factory radio and clock, which were quite the modern conveniences at the time. Dual side mount tires not only give it an aggressive stance but also a dash of dapper 1930s style. The new tires and completely refurbished brake system mean it’s ready to hit the road—or at least the vintage car parade circuit—with confidence.
