This is a remarkably clean and straight 1956 Buick Special 40 carrying its original 401 "Nailhead" engine and its 1956 buick, original 401 engine with Dynoflow 2 speed transmission. This beauty has the creature features of power steering, power brakes, a new cold blowing A/C and a ride like few other cars of the 50's. For many, the appeal of the smallest Buick can be explained by its big car comfort and power and Chevy-sized package Air Conditioning
