The 1950 Buick Super featured the new prominent \\\\”bucktooth\\\\” grill with an all bumper grill
guard and more rounded styling. They had VentiPorts on each side of the hood with four for the
Roadmaster and three for the Supers and Special. For 1950 the portholes or VentiPorts became
flatter and were moved from the front fenders to the sides of the hood. Buick stayed with the
tried and proven valve in head \\\\”Fireball\\\\” straight eight engine rather than following Cadillac and
Oldsmobile to the short-stroke V-8. That would come in 1953. The model 56C convertible was
equipped with leather power seats as well as power windows and top. Model year production was
a record for Buick with 558,439 leaving the factory. Sales placed them fourth on the sales charts.
This 1950 Buick Super Series 50 Convertible is powered by the \\\\”Valve in head, ahead in Value\\\\”
263 cubic inch straight eight cylinder engine that produces 124 horsepower. The engine had its
origin in 1936 and would used by Buick for a few more years. This example is presented in an
attractive yellow livery. It is mated up to the optional Dynaflow transmission and, of course, is
distinguished by its three iconic chrome VentiPorts on each side of the hood.
Only 12,259 Buick Super convertibles were produced and they were priced at $2476 which was
about $500 less that the Roadmaster convertible. According to Buick authorities few have
survived. This very attractive example is powered by a 263 cubic inch in-line 8 cylinder engine
that produces 124 horsepower. With leather seats, power windows and top it is an exceptional
example of elegant early fifties Buick styling.
