1934 Buick Model 41 - Straight Eight Engine 3 - Speed Manual "Trunkback" Sedan!
Before World War II, there was no blurring of the hierarchy at General Motors. The ladder built by GM boss Alfred P. Sloan started with Chevrolet, with Pontiac a rung up, followed by Oldsmobile, Buick, LaSalle, and Cadillac. Although positioned between Oldsmobile and LaSalle, there was nothing inexpensive or bare bones about the Buick. It was a very good car that held status in its own right.
In 1933 Harlow H. Curtice was appointed the President of Buick. His main goal was more speed for less money. He also oversaw the modernization of Buick styling. Within the division, Buick had a hierarchy of its own, consisting of four series - the 40, 50, 60 and 90. As a result, Buick was able to offer cars for as little as $820 and as much as $2,000, which helped to substantially broaden the company's appeal. The Series 40 Buick's saved Buick Motor Company from bankruptcy in the depression.
In 1934, the series 40 offered a lot of car for the money, and almost 90 years later, the name still holds considerable weight. The long hood of the Series 40 made it clear that power came from a straight-eight. In the case of the Model 41, it was a 233 cubic-inch unit producing nearly 100 horsepower and an abundance of torque. It was mated to a three-speed manual transmission with a floor-mounted gearshift lever. The chassis was fitted with General Motor's "Knee-Action" independent front suspension and solid rear axle. Mechanical drum brakes were fitted at all corners. The Model 41 was the 4-door sedan with a humpback trunk, costing less than $1000.
