Buick was founded in 1903 as the “Buick Motor Company”, in the state of Michigan. Buick has been part of General Motors (GM) since 1910. In the decades leading up to World War II, the so-called “Series” plus a number of models were produced. Production was only resumed in 1946 with slightly modified pre-war models. In 1947, only a few changes were made, with Buick’s stylists limiting themselves to a new grille design. Production continued unchanged until mid-1949, when the controversial Bucktooth design appeared on the new 1950 series. Four body variants were catalogued, including the four-door sedan, a slim fastback sedan, station wagon and the 56C convertible. Powered by a 4.1 liter (248 cui) inline eight-cylinder engine, called Fireball 8, with 115 hp at 3600 rpm and a three-speed manual transmission. 85% of Buick buyers opted for the optional two-speed automatic transmission, called Dynaflow. The 1949 Buick Super Sedanette offered style and functionality in one package.
Buick promised: “Here the long, curved lines of a coupé hide the surprising spaciousness”.
