1941 Buick Super Coupe 56s
In 1941, there were five different Buick model lines, called “series.” They used both names and numerical designations. Of these five series, there were four different wheelbases and two different engines offered. The Special was broken into 118-inch and 121-inch wheelbases (A-Series and B-Series, respectively) and used a 248 cubic-inch straight-8. Dual carburetors were optional on Specials. The Supers used the same 121-inch wheelbase and 248 cubic-inch engine as the Special B-Series, with dual carburetors as standard equipment. The Century and Roadmaster lines were mechanically identical, riding on a 126-inch wheelbase and using a 320 cubic-inch straight-8 with standard dual carburetors. The Limited rode on a massive 139-inch wheelbase using the same 320 cubic-inch engine as the Century and Roadmaster lines. The Specials and Supers are often referred to as "small series" cars, while the Century, Roadmaster and Limited are, obviously, the "large series" or "big series." Buick also offered two distinct types of bodies. In 1941, General Motors debuted their new aerodynamic “torpedo” styling, a look we would today call a fastback.
