The 1935 Buick Series 50 Victoria Coupe (Model 58) is a rare five-passenger luxury vehicle, with only 1,589 units produced that year. Known for its spacious, closed-body design, it was a popular choice for touring due to its refined comfort and "rolling sculpture" Art Deco styling.
Key Specifications:
Engine: 230.4 cu in (3.8 L) OHV Straight-8, producing approximately 8893 horsepower.
Transmission: 3-speed synchromesh manual, providing smoother shifting than earlier models.
Chassis: 119-inch wheelbase with innovative independent front suspension ("Knee-Action") for improved ride quality.
Brakes: 12-inch mechanical drum brakes.
Performance: Top speed of roughly 8085 mph.
Design & Features:
The "Victoria" designation refers to its two-door, five-passenger configuration where the rear seat is positioned ahead of the rear axle for a smoother ride.
Trunk Style: While sedan bodies of this era gained "trunk-back" popularity, the Victoria Coupe typically featured a sloping rear or a rear-mounted luggage rack for external storage.
Interior: High-quality materials like mohair velvet or plush fabrics, often accompanied by a wood-grain dashboard and specialized gauge layouts.
Exterior: Distinguished by sweeping aerodynamic lines, a "thinner depth" chrome grille for 1935, and artillery-style or wire-spoked wheel
The 235 cubic-inch inline-8 had overhead valves, a cast-iron block, five main bearings, mechanical valve lifters, a Marver carburetor, and delivered 88 horsepower. It was backed by a three-speed sliding gear, synchromesh transmission, and stopping power was by mechanical brakes on four wheels.
