celebrate the engineering improvements and design advancements over
their 1935 models. Buick's Series 40 was named the Special, the Series
60 was named the Century and the Series 90 — Buick's largest and most
luxurious vehicle — was named the Limited. The Series 50 was retired,
but new for the model year was the Series 80 Roadmaster. .
