Description

This 1948 Buick Special represents a high-end custom build with show-quality execution throughout. Featuring a potent 454 GM crate engine paired with a 700R4 transmission, the car delivers modern performance wrapped in classic 1940s styling. The Art Morrison chassis foundation supports coil-over suspension, four-wheel disc brakes, power rack-and-pinion steering, and a Ford 9-inch rear with 3.73 gearing for responsive handling.

Finished in show-quality paint with only minor imperfections, the car wears 18-inch Boyd Coddington wheels and pristine show-quality chrome and trim. The interior showcases hand-sewn custom leather, power front seats, hand-made rear seats, and a custom full-length center console. Modern convenience features include vintage air conditioning, keyless entry, power locks, tilt steering, cruise control, and a quality Kenwood stereo with Rockford Fosgate speakers and amplifier.

The car has less than 100 miles of drive time since completion. A few minor mechanical details remain to finish the build; the professional builder can address these items. This is a serious custom restomod for the discerning collector.
