This particular example spent the vast majority of its life in California and currently displays only 66,313 believed to be actual miles! A largely original example, this Buick has undergone some sympathetic paint work and presents with the amount of patina that one would expect from a nearly 80 year old motorcar. It is accompanied by its original owner’s manual, tools, period brochures, California registrations dating back to the mid 1980’s and more! We are proud to offer this wonderful 1940 Buick Special Sport Coupe to the most astute collector, investor or enthusiast who appreciates the particular charm that comes with a pre-war American classic.

    Financing

    Finance rates as low as 8.9%.


    We know that classic car financing can pose a unique challenge. Although a vintage or exotic car can be an excellent investment, some financial institutions attempt to apply standard “used car” rules for financing a classic car, which in many cases can make loan approval difficult.


    We work closely with many banking institutions that understand and recognize the collector value of classic cars and view them as an investment, which allows us to help you get the financing you need so that you can have the car you have dreamed of.


    Terms available up to 144 Months


    If you have any questions, feel free to contact us, (314)291-7000 or credit@schmitt.com
