Some of the most beautiful American cars in the post-World War II era were Buicks, the torquey Fireball 248 CI Straight Eight and 3 speed manual transmission were standard equipment, as were back-up lights, turn signals, windshield washers, stone guards, fender skirts and wide whitewall tires matched with full-size chromed wheel covers.
The driver sits behind a massive steering wheel that makes guiding this big car effortless and gauges are arrayed in round pods, with the speedometer front and center and auxiliary dials on either side. Secondary controls are the chrome pull switches underneath and theres a Sonomatic AM radio up high in the center of the dash.
Step on the gas pedal and the big 248 cubic inch OHV straight-8 springs to life quickly and easily, immediately settling into an easy idle that sounds muscular but muted. It drives superbly with big Buick torque available at any speed. It wears correct Buick Turquoise engine enamel and following the war, all large-series Buicks used single 2-barrel carburetors, which is what is on the car today. Even the original oil bath air cleaner is still in place.
The brakes have been serviced and the floors are beautiful originals that have never been rusty or patched. Correct painted steel wheels with unique 1947 hubcaps and 235/75/15 wide whitewall radials complete the look.
The 1947 Buick Super 8 Sedan is a rare find that embodies all that we love about these land yachts. With a quality restoration performed some years ago and enough driving to ensure that its now properly sorted and dialed in, this is an excellent daily driver example thats ready to use and enjoy. These rarely come to market, so its a genuine honor to have it in our inventory, and we invite you to come see and drive it, because that's really the best way to appreciate these wonderful machines.
