Buick 8 for 1937
Seen at the 'Classics under the Antlers' car show at the Buena Park Elks Lodge in April, 2021.
The engine is a straight 8. Buick’s engines were already overhead valve types whereas many other brands were still using flathead designs.
It’s a shame that Buick today no longer offers any sedan, coupe or convertible. Now all their offerings are crossover utilities. There are plenty of sedans by Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Hyundai, Kia, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Volvo and Lexus still being offered and sold in the market. The message that people take away from their abandonment of such models is that Buick admits that they are incapable of designing, developing, offering, marketing or otherwise competing for that automobile segment. Those other makes are certainly capable of offering not only sedans but also the crossovers in the field to which Buick has limited themselves.
