1950 Buick Super Sedan

By the 1920s, Buick cars were considered a luxurious, upscale choice. Growing sales in the early 1950s reflected the strong appeal of style, comfort, and roominess to middle-class families. More Americans were choosing cars that matched their affluence, taste for fine consumer goods, child-raising responsibilities, and mobile lifestyle. By 1954, Buick had become the third best-selling car in America. This car belonged to Clara Fultz Bentz, a small business owner who ran a lingerie shop in Martinsburg, West Virginia. In addition to its spacious, plush interior, it featured optional Dynaflow automatic transmission.
