Eastern Shore Classic Cars presents a true 1950's Classic.... the
54 Buick Roadmaster. The Roadmaster was top-of-the-line for Buick
in 1954, (outside of the Skylark convertible). For 1954 all Buicks
featured a complete restyle including wrap-around windshields for
the first time. Their hoods were now nearly level with the fenders
and headlights, giving the cars a clean, modern stance, but they
still maintained the big grille, massive bumpers and fender ports
that they were famous for. 1954 models utilized a wheelbase of
127-inches and were powered by Buick's 322 cubic inch V-8 Nailhead
engine producing 200HP, up from 188 of the previous year. The 1954
Roadmaster truly was just one rung below the Cadillac in both
luxury and prestige. Standard equipment included a Dynaflow
automatic transmission, full wheel covers, power brakes, power
steering, and hydraulic-electric power windows (except on the
sedan), and power antenna. Various interior upholsteries were
available, including leather, broadcloth and nylon combinations.
This fine example has been lovingly restored by the owner. Just shy
of Concourse level, it can more than hold its own on the show
field. There is no evidence of rust and the body and undercarriage
seem solid. The motor purrs and the interior shows little evidence
of wear. It still retains the wonder bar radio in the dash however
the owner has added a more modern update below for listening
pleasure. It is a rolling time capsule of the Buick 50's era.
