The Buick Super was redesigned for 1949, sharing a body with the also-new Roadmaster, which was 5-inches longer. The Buick Super Estate Wagon was powered by a 115-horsepower 248-cubic-inch Fireball inline 8-cylinder engine, with the optional Dynaflow automatic transmission bringing an increase to 120 horsepower. Station wagons at the time featured extensive wood trim, and the Buick Super Estate Wagon is no exception, featuring seasoned maple and northern elm on the exterior, though the structure was now largely steel, with all-steel center pillars, steel doors, and a full-length solid steel Turret Top. The interior featured fine-grained Mahogany-veneer wood paneling, carpeted floors, and a rear seat that folds flat and was displayed at the 2001 Chicago Auto Show by the Volo Auto Museum.
