The 1941 Buick Limited 8/90L is a grand and imposing example of American pre-war luxury, representing the pinnacle of Buick’s engineering and craftsmanship at the time. Known as the flagship model in Buick’s lineup, the Limited was renowned for its opulent proportions, smooth inline-eight power, and chauffeur-driven presence.
This particular example is presented in limousine configuration, with seating for eight and a wheelbase stretching over 3.5 metres, resulting in a commanding total length of 5.57 metres. Finished in classic black with a grey interior, it exudes elegance and understated style—hallmarks of Buick’s most prestigious offering in the early 1940s.
Powered by a 320 cubic inch (5.2-litre) straight-eight engine, the Buick delivers 105kW (141hp) of power at 3600rpm and a hefty 365Nm of torque available from as low as 1000rpm, giving it an effortless and smooth driving character. The power is transmitted through a 3-speed manual gearbox mounted on the column, maintaining authenticity in both mechanical operation and driving experience.
The odometer indicates just 99 miles, likely since a restoration or engine rebuild, and the car is accompanied by a current roadworthy certificate. As a rear-wheel-drive luxury sedan, it delivers refined motoring with the dignified road presence only a full-size American limousine can provide.
With its stately proportions, distinctive waterfall grille, and elegant art-deco detailing, the 1941 Buick Limited 8/90L is an exceptional piece of motoring history. Rarely seen on Australian roads—particularly in this specification—it would make a striking addition to a collection, a unique promotional vehicle, or a standout presence at classic events and concours gatherings.
