Description
It is 4 door trunk back sedan with a 248 CID displacement engine. The vehicle had an interior restoration sometime in the 70?s and repainted from its original Botticelli Blue to another 1937 factory Buick color, Van Gough Green. It has always been garaged. I had the engine, transmission, radiator, starter, generator, fuel pump & clutch rebuilt. In addition a new wiring harness was installed using period correct materials. One of the country?s most knowledgeable and respected individuals, in 1937-1938 Buick engines, rebuilt the engine, transmission & clutch. Based upon his recommendations the pistons were changed to 1940 model pistons, the block was bored out 30 over, carburetor was updated to the more reliable 1940 Carter 2 bbl downdraft, and bearings were changed to a more modern style along with the addition of hardened valve seats. The water pump was also changed to the more reliable mid 1938 style to overcome the leaking problem of the original design. These changes slightly increased the compression and the vehicle now puts out about 107 HP. New exhaust system was also added. All brake linings replaced including new wheel cylinders, new spring hardware and resurfacing of drums.
