Vehicle Description
You are viewing what may be the last, mostly original 1 family
owned Buick Roadmaster Convertible left in the world. It was the
most expensive Buick you could buy in '56 and they only built 4354
Roadmaster convertibles (572,024 Buicks built '56) which is less
than 1% of Buicks total build qualifying it for instant collector
car status plus, how many are left ? One family owned (signed
affidavit comes with it), purchased by their grandfather an Indiana
Judge for 42 years and loved by the family ever since. Mostly
original Carlsbad black paint (electronically metered for
authenticity see pic) and correct "A" code denoting it was
originally a black car from the factory on the cowl tag, it looks
pretty amazing. The interior is the optional black and Ivory
leather (correct code 730) befitting the Buicks most expensive car
in 1956 and looks pretty very nice (see pics). Its not often you
find these convertibles in this condition intact including the
original chrome and factory undercoated undercarriage. This
beautiful roadmaster is super original and not restored which could
be enhancing its value. Please keep in mind its a 60 plus year old
car, isn't brand new and needs some restoration however, its not
priced at NADA value of over $100K either. Its just had a $10,000
mechanical restoration including the engine and transmission have
just been resealed. Let us run down the options and standard
equipment on whats considered to be a collector car according to
Hagerty's and NADA classic car values.

In closing this car drives as nice as it looks, imagine taking the
kids or another couple out in this to dinner it becomes a very
different evening. These fully restored are now selling for
$130,000 plus so it seems to be the right car to invest in. We can
send you a walk around and test drive video If you need that
too.
