Gateway Classic Cars of Las Vegas is proud to present this 1940
Buick Roadmaster. All original except for one re-paint, 25 years
ago. The paint shows age but is still very presentable. In 1940 the
Series 80 was renamed Limited. The Roadmaster name was transferred
to the new Series 70, which was introduced at the same time as a
brand new Series 50 Super. The Roadmaster featured a cutting-edge
"torpedo" C-body. The new C-body that the 1940 Buick Roadmaster
shared with the Super, the Cadillac Series 62, the Oldsmobile
Series 90, and the Pontiac Torpedo featured shoulder and hip room
that was over 5" wider, the elimination of running boards and
exterior styling that was streamlined and 2-3" lower. When combined
with a column mounted shift lever the cars offered true six
passenger comfort. These changes had clearly been influenced by the
Cadillac Sixty Special. To view this 1940 Buick Roadmaster, please
