Cherishing a classic car is about understanding and appreciating its history. That's why we love this 1940 Buick Limited Series 90 Sedan. It wears its decades with pride in a fantastically correct-style presentation. So you get a true pre-WWII treasure with a straight-eight motor and a premium attitude that was instilled from day one.

Buick people instantly recognize this as something special. The 90-series Limited sedans were true Cadillac rivals, and so they were a rare sight when new. And it only gets more exceptional over 80 years later. The black paint is what you want on a formal body like this. It's part of an older application that has plenty of aged-in style. So it sets the vintage tone from every angle. You can always opt for a high-gloss respray, but this kind of appearance today is decades in the making. And you really do want something looking quite vintage from 1940 because it was a landmark year. Buick redesigned the line so that it had a wider chrome grille, long parking lights, and headlights integrated into the fenders. This new styling was combined with classic formal elements like the full-length trim, whitewall tires, and dual spare wheels integrated into the front fenders. And of course, the Buick Eight badge in the back meant you needed a long hood up front leading the way. It's a distinct and beautiful style that didn't return after WWII, and so this one to cherish.

When you get to the car show, we know you're going to love opening the suicide doors for everyone to have a peek inside. Just like the exterior, the inside keeps a very classic/stock style that likes to be both complete and show off its age. These could have been put into limousine service. So the rear seat has ample space, a fold-down center armrest, individual ashtrays, and a foot rest. But vintage motoring today is all about the classic driving experience. Up front you get a big three-spoke wheel with Buick horn ring. There are replacement units available, but there's just something electric about feeling the generations who came before you every time you grip the wheel. And the smooth action of the column-shifted three-speed transmission is pure classic fun. Plus, the art deco dash looks nice and everything you want is in place, right down to the AM radio that's there for display.

Not only do you get to open the suicide doors at the shows, but the butterfly hood is always an attention-grabber, too. They'll marvel at the motor's presentation and its original-style condition - and we even believe this is original to the car. The 320 cubic-inch "Dyna-Flash" straight-eight looks amazing, especially with the self-promoting head cover that has the right touch of age. The motor has been given the right care in the fundamentals, like newer hoses, wires, belt, coil, and a rebuilt carburetor. The nature of the straight-eight means a smoother running car. Out on the road, this car also feels much more modern thanks to Buick's independent front end and coil spring rear. It's all part of a package that not only impresses you with how it looks, but also how comfortable authentic pre-WWII motoring can be...if you're in the right car.

The sale comes complete with the owner's manual, a service manual, and spare components. Don't miss your chance at this true classic Buick, call today!

General Terms

Terms & Conditions

We recognize the need for complete transparency when buying/selling vehicles on eBay. That said, we did not build, modify, or have the luxury of personal ownership that would give us the advantage of knowing all unknown aspects of each vehicle. Transparency is king and we're happy to try and answer ALL questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we welcome and encourage independent inspections (see Inspection statement below).

FEES: A documentation fee of $199 will be added to the purchase price at the time of sale. Sale price does not include any Title, License, Registration, State or Local Taxes or Processing Fees. We recommend you familiarize yourself with your individual state's taxes, transfer, or additional fees.

AVAILABILITY: Please inquire prior to purchase to assure any advertised vehicle is not already sold. We advertise across multiple platforms where a vehicle can sell in a moment's notice. Vehicles may be sold prior to eBay listing end, and we reserve the right to end listings early or to cancel bids/offers solely at our discretion and shall not be held liable for any such cancellation.

CONTACT: Note that you may hear from us after to the sale, but if you are a winning bidder, click a Buy-It-Now, or we accept your eBay Offer, it is your responsibility to contact us within 24 hours.

INSPECTION: VERY IMPORTANT. If a buyer chooses to buy sight unseen (many of our buyers choose this option) the buyer accepts the vehicle AS-IS and understands we cannot address concerns post sale. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer/buyer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale.

PAYMENT: We require a non-refundable $500 deposit within 48 hours of winning or commitment to purchase. Full payment is required within 7 days of offer acceptance unless other arrangements are agreed to in writing. If deposit and/or full payment are not provided within said timeframe, all vehicles will be relisted and transaction will be considered void. For balance of payment we will accept bank wire transfer (preferred), cashier's check, or personal check (vehicle shipment will be delayed until check clears).We also offer vehicle financing, please inquire for details prior to making bids/offers.

SHIPPING: We have access to a network of private and commercial carriers. Most of them can deliver the vehicle to your driveway and upon your schedule. We assume no responsibility for damages or delays incurred once a vehicle is in a shipper's custody. Buyers are welcomed to trailer vehicles home and we are happy to have everything ready to see you off with your new vehicle.

DRIVE IT HOME: If you plan to buy and drive home, please keep some things in mind. Anything is possible when it comes to a vehicle, especially a classic or antique one. We recommend transporting all vehicles to your home first, then driving it locally. Get to know the vehicle and its tendencies before embarking on a long-distance trip. If you choose to drive your new vehicle home, buyer accepts all responsibility as we are unable to control what may take place once it leaves our facility.

DOCUMENTS & VEHICLE TITLE: All purchase documents are sent immediately upon purchase. To avoid delays, we recommend returning any required documents within 24 hours of receipt. Please allow up to 30 days for vehicle titles. Usually titles are available sooner, we ask for the extra time in the event there are unforeseen circumstances.

VIN VERIFICATION: We photograph the primary VIN location of every vehicle and make sure that VIN exactly matches the vehicle's current title. Buyer agrees to hold seller harmless from any disputes arising from other hidden or secondary VINs present on the vehicle as seller only verifies the primary VIN location. If needed, it is the buyer's sole responsibility to verify secondary VIN locations their specific state may inspect, prior to purchase.

MILEAGES: Occasionally our vehicles may be driven or simply moved around our facilities. Slight differences may occur so we recommend you confirm actual and current miles prior to purchase.

CONDITION: We cover the obvious and do our best to describe our vehicles in detail. Even so, please have a transparent conversation with us before purchasing. Do be aware that all pre-owned vehicles, regardless of age, mileage, or manufacturer are subject to cosmetic wear and mechanical failure. Finally, be advised that although our sales associates are here to assist you with your purchase, they are not trained or certified vehicle inspectors.

AS-IS: All vehicles are sold "AS IS" and with no warranties expressed or implied. If you choose to waive inspection, do plan to have a detailed and transparent conversation with us regarding the vehicle's condition. Ask the hard questions up front. Please just call us, we are here to help and welcome all your questions!

DISCLAIMER: This site and all advertising information may be updated without notice whenever new information is obtained and may contain mistakes and inaccuracies. Information is provided to the best of our knowledge and we make no warranty or representation regarding the accuracy, truth, or reliability of such information. We cannot be responsible for any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies contained in information provided by the consignor/seller of the vehicle. We strive to perform extensive visual inspections on all vehicles we represent but we do not disassemble vehicles or components for inspection purposes and therefore it is always possible that there is hidden damage that is not readily apparent. All vehicles are sold AS-IS with no warranties expressed or implied.

Fees and Taxes

Sales tax, title, license fee, registration fee, dealer documentary fee, finance charges, emission testing fees, and compliance fees are additional to the advertised price. Vehicle is listed locally, we reserve the right to end the auction at any time.
