Summary
This 1938 Buick Series 40 Special Sport Sedan, repainted metallic gray over tan cloth, features a rebuilt and bored 263ci straight-eight engine paired with a three-speed manual transmission. Notable modifications include a 12-volt electrical system conversion, an electronic distributor advance, and a 3. 60:1 rear axle from a 1950 Buick, though the car reportedly runs hot when idling or at speeds over 55 mph.
