Introduction:

Welcome to my project: the complete ground-up restoration of a 1941 Buick Century Sedanette. This is a relatively rare car; only about 5500 of them were built in 1941. Who knows how many have survived the past 60+ years?

I am somewhat familiar with '41 Buicks, as my father drove a 1941 Buick Super business coupe to work daily when I was a kid in the early '80s, and they've always held a special place in my heart. I found my car on the Internet, and bought it sight-unseen after having a friend take a look at it. This web page will chronicle the complete restoration of the car.
