The third generation Super built between 1946-58 sharing Buicks longer wheelbase with the Roadmaster tbut on a shorter wheelbase. It featured three chrome VentiPorts on each front fender to denote its smaller displacement straight-eight engine when compared with the Roadmaster. It had been claimed in the early sales brochures that the VentiPorts helped ventilation but by from sometime during its first model year they became plugged. Full wheel trim discs were standard along with such features as a cigar lighter, ashtray, and automatic choke. Cloth interiors were standard, except on the convertible which was trimmed in leather and leatherette and had a power top, seat and windows as standard equipment

The 1950 Supers shared with all the other series totally new all bumper guard grille and more rounded styling. Two new body styles appeared the 2-door Riviera hardtop and the Long Wheelbase Sedan, which was stretched an extra four inches (102 mm) and featured plusher interior than most Supers. The 1950 Super came with a single two-barrel carburetor on a new higher displacement 263 cu in (4.3 L) Fireball I8 which produced 112 hp and a top speed in excess of 90mph.

In 1951 Supers had larger bodies than Specials but looked similar with three rounded VentiPorts per fender, broad bright fender shields and a full length "Sweepspear" chrome body side molding. The long wheelbase sedan was named the Riviera sedan although it was not a hardtop. Supers were trimmed with materials similar to Special Deluxes except for in the plush Super Riviera sedan.
