"Buick's top platform was introduced in 1931 as the Series 90, using the GM "C-body" platform shared with the Cadillac Series 355. It featured a 344.8 cu in (5.7 L) Buick Straight-8 engine OHV engine, developing 104 bhp of power at 2,800 rpm.[1] A premium luxury car, it was intended to compete with the advanced Cadillac V8, the exclusive straight-8 Packard Standard Eight, and other top U.S. marques.
Closed cars came with mohair velvet interiors, retractable silk passenger compartment shades, and wool carpeting throughout.[1] Roadsters, Phaetons and convertibles came standard with leather interior.[1] Retail prices for the 7-passenger Limousine were US$2,035 ($39,159 in 2022 dollars [2]). The Series 90 offered nearly the same refinement and attention to detail as Cadillac, but lacked its more modern, more powerful engine, while having a more advanced overhead valve train than the Packard's aging flathead design. Standard coachwork for Buick was exclusively supplied by Fisher Body, and rolling chassis were available to coach builders."
