The Buick Special was an automobile produced by Buick. It was usually Buick's lowest-priced model, starting out as a full-size car in 1936 and returning in 1961, after a two-year hiatus, as a compact, which changed to mid-size in 1964. The Special was built for several decades and was offered as a coupe, a sedan and later a station wagon. When General Motors modernized its entry level products in the 1960s, the Special introduced the modern Buick V6 that became a core engine for GM for several decades.
