| One of only One ever built! Bohman & Schwartz were commissioned to make this 1940 Buick Limited Phaeton - you'll note windwings, and an open side area - making for a beautiful and graceful design. We believe it was ordered for Shirley Temple, the movie star. Prior owners include Lorin Tryon, the former chairman of the Pebble Beach concours! |
 |
| Of course, it's a full CCCA Classic, eligible for all tours and events. It's amazing how much the Bohman & Schwartz conversion to the Phaeton body style impacts the design - the car is cleaner, more open, and looks longer than the convertible sedan! |
 |
| It's in beautiful condition! Note the excellence of the plating, and the wonderful paint. |
 |
| Dramatic lines, combined with excellent restoration. |
 |
| None other like it! |
 |
| Note the dual sidemounts! |
 |
| The Limited series 80 was the top of the line open car that year for Buick. |
 |
| The steering wheel and dashboard look like brand new! |
 |
| I love the damascened finish on the Buick Dashboards. |
 |
| Horn ring like new! |
 |
| Can't get enough of the engine turned finish! |
 |
| Here's the buick Sonomatic Radio! |
 |
| Wow! |
 |

 |
| Excellent rear compartment |
 |
| Inviting! |
 |

 |
| Nice clean inner top and top bows. |
 |
| More top bow detail. |
|
| Excellent! |
 |
| Here's the big 320 Cubic inch Straight eight, correct for the 80 series. Plenty of power here! Rated at 165 HP. |
 |
| Note the correct silenced air cleaner. |
 |
| Manifold side. |
 |
| Nice and new wiring harness |
 |
| The chrome plating on this car is in wonderful shape! |
 |
| Bohman & Schwartz body tags, on both sides of the car. |
 |
| Nice doorhandles. |
 |
| Buick folks will know this 320 cubic inch engine is from a 1950 Buick, but will also know the engine is the same as a 1940 320 engine. No point deduction would be made here in Classic Car Club of America judging. |
 |
| I love the turn signals! |
 |
| Look how nice that grille is! |
 |
| The runningboards are good, but not perfect. there are minor flaws here and there. |
 |
| Excellent windshield wiper detail. |
 |
| Oops, a ding on the stainless here. |
|
| It's an awfully nice car |
 |
| One of One! |
