This is an exceptional car in pretty good shape. I’m pretty sure it is a 1947 but I’m not too sure. Anyway, you can tell this car is a post WWII because it looks like its built like a tank. In retrospect, this car had nice lines and was a popular model after the war.
Here is a bit of information I could find on this car and era.
The Buick Super was a full-sized automobile produced from 1940–1942, and from 1946–1958; it was on Buick’s longer wheelbase shared with the Roadmaster. It and the Roadmaster were replaced by the new Electra in 1959. The 1950 Super came with a single two-barrel carburetor on a 263 cid I8. This setup produced an HP rating of 112. The car was able to achieve speeds over 90 miles per hour (140 km/h) with its Dynaflow automatic transmission which, rather than changing through gears, used the torque converter to couple the motor to a single gear ratio.
If you do know the actual year of manufacture for this car, please leave a note in the comments below. We all would appreciate it.
