Buick Super Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1942–1953) — First Generation
The first-generation Buick Super stands as a full-size American sedan from the era when comfort came from long wheelbases and unhurried power. Here is what its mechanical side offers a modern reader.
The Buick Super engine in the 4.1 MT sedan is a 4.1-litre petrol unit paired with a manual gearbox and rear-wheel drive. Such a large-displacement powertrain was tuned for relaxed low-rev pulling rather than high speed, letting the drivetrain cruise quietly with few gearchanges.
