1940 Buick Business Coupe

1940 Buick Business Coupe, click picture to enlarge.

Buick entered 1940 with a restyled automobile. The grill was much larger than the previous year and had heavy horizontal bars and the headlights were integrated into the front fenders. These features gave the Buick a new look but mechanically very little had changed from the previous year. The coupe had a 248 cid 8 cylinder engine that produced 107 horsepower. The coupe had a three speed column shifted transmission. The business coupe was the lowest priced car in the Buick lineup for 1940. It sold for $895.00 and 12,372 units were sold that year.
