A 1949 Buick Super



This 1949 Buick Super was found ready for transport — perhaps to an automobile restorer — in Pikeville, N.C. The Super was a full-sized Buick on Buick's larger body shared with the Roadmaster. The Super was produced from 1940 through 1958. It could be differentiated by its three VentiPorts. Three engines were available in 1949 — two inline 8 cylinders rated at 248 and 263 cubic inches and a V-8 with 322 cubic inches. All were mated to a 3-speed sliding shift manual Dynaflow automatic.
