The 1942 model year was very short because of defense production. In 1942 Buick offered a Sedan and two-door Sedanet. Combined sales for the two body styles was around 4,500. The cars retained their 126-inch wheelbase and 165 horsepower engine. The frontal styling characteristics of the prior year were carried over in 1942. As America entered into the Second World War, automobile production was put on hold.

The 1942 Super coupes adopted the appealing Sedanet fastback style that had been the sensation of 1941 on Century and Special. New wider and lower bodies were offered and "Airfoil" front fenders that flowed into the lines of the rear fenders were introduced on convertibles and sedanet models. The Super had new front fender trim featuring parallel chrome strips. Also featured for 1942 was a handsome new grille with a lower outline and thin vertical strips. A feature shared with other Buicks was a new interior air intake positioned near the front center grille that eliminated the old cowl-level ventilator. The number of body styles was reduced to three with the elimination of the one year only Business coupe.

This Sedannet was prevoiusly owned by the St. Louis Car Museum and was purchased by the current owner in 2010. The car was purchased in Reno, Nevada in the early 1980's, the owner then moved it to Illinois where he completely restored the vehicle. The restoration was a complete body off restoration with as many NOS parts that could be found used in the restoration. Most of the stainless body trim is all NOS. This buick family Sedanet was one of the last vehicles to come off the assembly line before Buick switched to manufacturing airplane engines during WWII. The paint color matches the original gray tones which were used for the military for WWII. It is considered the perfect combination of family car and stylish vehicle, the sedanet features a large backseat and climate control as well as extensive chrome detailing and sleek lines. All windows are original and date stamped.
