Inventor David Dunbar Buick built his first automobile in Detroit, Michigan, in 1903. As Buick was more of a designer than a businessman, his lack of entrepreneurial talent led to numerous changes of ownership before the founder was finally dismissed in 1908. His departure from the Buick Motor Company coincided with the founding of General Motors by new owner William C. Durant. Under Durant’s leadership, production increased dramatically, and by the late 1930s Buick had become one of America’s most popular cars. For 1936, the Buick model lineup underwent a major styling and mechanical overhaul. At the beginning of 1940, the Series 50 models were launched, which were a better-equipped version of the Special Series 40 and were given the nickname “Super”. Like the “Special”, the “Super” also had a wheelbase of 3073 mm and a new body without running boards with headlights integrated into the front fenders. The radiator grille had horizontal chrome strips and was wide and strongly raised in the middle. In addition to a four-door touring saloon, a two-door coupé and a two-door convertible with an attached trunk, there was also a four-door Phaeton and a five-door estate. By the end of the Second World War, 253,837 vehicles of the 50 series had been built. After that, 1,170,204 units were produced until the fall of 1952.
