The styling of the Buick Special Series 40 was modified for 1937with several noticeable changes, mostly to the front. The 1936 Series 40had a single grille with vertical bars; the 1937 model had horizontalbars and a divider down the center. The center section of the grille waspainted to match the color of the body. The fenders was revised andgiven squared-off ends. Though not very visible, the height was loweredby nearly 2 inches, with interior room remaining nearly the same by dueto the floors being lowered as well.

There were eight body styles to select from, including theconvertible phaeton, sport coupe, business coupe and convertible coupe.There was also a two- and four-door touring sedan available with anoptional rear trunk. The most popular Series 40 bodystyle - also Buicksmost popular vehicle for 1937 - was the four-door Touring Sedan with thetrunk. Pricing for this vehicle was $1020. This placed in competitionwith the Packard 120C, Oldsmobile L-37 and the Pontiac Deluxe Series 26.

Powering the Series 40 was an inline overhead valve Eight-cylinderengine that offered 100 horsepower. It had a three-speed sliding geartransmission with floor shift controls and a single dry plate clutch andshaft drive. The car rode on pressed steel wheels and braking washandled by four-wheel hydraulic drums. Options included a heater,defroster, dual side mounted tires, white side wall tires, and a grilleguard. A dash installed radio with a built-in speaker could also beadded for an additional fee.

Mechanical improvements to the 1937 Series 40 included a new oilpump and improved overhead valve mechanism which was much quieter thanthe previous version. The intake valves were updated and the coolingsystem was improved.

The Series 40 had a wheelbase that measured 122 inches, up from 118 inches the prior year.
