Buick Y-Job (1938)

The Buick Y-Job was a concept car produced by the American automaker Buick between 1938 and 1940. It was the first concept car ever built and served as the inspiration for many future automobiles. The Y-Job was designed by Harley Earl, who was the chief designer at General Motors at the time.

The Y-Job was powered by a 5.3-liter straight-eight engine that produced around 110 horsepower. It was paired with a four-speed manual transmission and featured rear-wheel drive. The car had a top speed of around 90 mph and could accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in around 11 seconds.

The Y-Job featured a distinctive design, with a sleek and aerodynamic body and a large chrome grille. The interior was well-appointed, with comfortable seating for up to four passengers. Standard features included a radio, heater and sun visors. Safety features included four-wheel drum brakes and a sturdy steel body.

The Y-Job was a popular car in its time, known for its style and performance. It was a common sight on the roads of America and was also exported to other countries. It was also a popular choice for people who wanted a sporty car with a more affordable price tag than other sports cars of the era.

The Y-Job was never put into production, but it served as a prototype for many future Buick models. Despite this, it remains a popular classic car among enthusiasts and collectors today, known for its classic design and engineering.

Some notable feature of the Y-Job were the futuristic look, the low price point and the practicality of having the same mechanical components as the Beetle. Additionally, the Y-Job was known for its handling and agility, making it a popular choice for people who wanted a sporty car with a more affordable price tag than other sports cars of the era. Also, the Y-Job was the first car to have power windows and push button door handles, which were later standard in most of the cars.
