My 1940 Buick Special

Aceswild 02 · August 28th, 2011, 04:34 PM

Im finally moving into a place with a garage...so I can move my 1940 Buick from my grandparents house to my mine!!!!!!

Its been sitting for about 5 years, so it needs some work, but for an all original car it is in awesome shape! The guys at Mo's Speed Shop are picking it up this week to do a little work on it before I take it to Augusta.

Here are a few shots I took this weekend as I was uncovering it and getting it ready to be picked up...

I will be taking a lot of pics as I make progress on it. I am looking for a old picture I have of my grandparents with the car about 40 years ago. The car was still in show condition up until about 10 years ago when my grandpa got to where he couldnt work on it anymore and it began to just sit more and more. Not any longer though...ACE to the rescue!

The last pic before the car left its home of the last 40 years:

Being loaded on the truck:

Arrived at the shop the next morning:

Its inside now. In the next couple of weeks it should be running again with new brakes and tires...then the fun will start!
