Summary
This 1938 Buick Special Phaeton is one of only 776 Style 38-4449 Phaetons built, and notably features the rare $80. 00 semi-automatic Safety Transmission, with only six such examples surviving and this being the sole phaeton among them. After 30 years in storage, it underwent a meticulous restoration by John Sobers, known for his expertise with these unique transmissions, including a full engine rebuild and a bare-metal repaint.
