General consensus on the AACA/BCA board is that the mileage is not original, and this is a decent older restoration that somehow was put into storage some time ago and an inexperienced seller mistook signs of age for originality and mistakenly believes that mileage numbers are actual (mileage probably reset to 0 during a restoration. https://forums.aaca.org/topic/32258...-original-miles/?tab=comments#comment-1844788
That two toning theme was very much available at that time on the Buicks, I can't say if those two colors are the correct ones together as your couldn't get all the colors two toned but it appears to be consistent with others I have seen.
"Purchased after the attack at Pearl Harbor"...Hmmm.. wasn't that on Dec. 7, 1941? Wouldn't the 1942 models be out then? Also, I don't think I've ever seen a factory Special with dual carbs. Most were put on after the fact. I thought they were a Century or Roadmaster only option in 1942. Or was it 41? The guy's full of it; - pretty car though, even if it has seatbelts in the "original" interior. The two -tone is the post war scheme, dark on top light on bottom. Most I've seen were light on top and dark on bottom for the 41 and 42 models. But hey, I've been wrong before.
Dual carbs, or compound carburetor as Buick called it was available on both the 320 and 248 straight 8s in 1941. I had one. Not saying what is advertised about the car is true, but back then they didnt have the new model year released months in advance like today. It's entirely possible the car was purchased after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Heck, I purchased a new 2015 F150 in November of 2015.
Where's Ms. Daisy? That's a classy looking car ; if the mechanics are in as reasonable condition as the body it would be quite a cruiser!
