Name this car #10 (pic I took)

[Northstar]

Well yesterday I went to a little fair type thing where I live and they have a bunch of old cars there... unfotunately I got there too late I guess and there was only one left. I think they must have taken them home for the night or something and I might go back today to see if they're back.

Anyways, here's the two pics I took of this car. Tell me what year, make, and model it is.

It looks like a '40 Buick. Beautiful car.

[Northstar]

Yes, it is a '40 Buick.

My great grandfather had one of those.

Maybe a 1940 Series 70/80 Roadmaster Phaeton Convertible? If so, only 238 were produced. Edited August 29, 2005 by RichW5

It was a Phaeton Convertible, but I'm not sure about the Roadmaster part (unless they were all Roadmasters).

[HarleyEarl]

In 1940 Buicks came in six series, Special, Super, Century, Roadmaster, Limited 80 and Limited 90. Not sure where the Phaeton fit in.

WEll the Phaeton was just a bodystyle so it is separate of the model name. Kind of like a Silverado 4x4 LS long-bed. You can also get a Longbed in crew cab or extended cab... or an extended cab in LT trim. Anyway this car is gorgeous. :)

My "Collectible Cars" book only shows a Phaeton model for 1940 Roadmasters and the 1942 Limited. The car in the picture doesn't look like its' the "long wheelbase" Limited (133"), Roadmaster was (126" for 1940), but I may be wrong. Great car, nice pictures and I'll take it even if I'm wrong.
