_______________________
This lovely 1941 Buick is a beautifully maintained example of a stunning pre-war classic. Powered by the correct 248 Cubic Inch “Fireball” Straight 8, this Special was “spruced up” by the noted Buick specialist Doug Seybold in Westlake, Ohio at the turn of the century. The Buick has been under the care of the same Indiana family since then.
