For Sale at Auction: 1951 Buick Roadmaster in Scottsdale, Arizona

This 1951 Buick Roadmaster Series 70 Estate Wagon is powered by a 320.2ci Fireball L8 engine mated to a Dynaflow automatic transmission. Finished in Dark Green with Green interior and features a Nerva roof rack. Rolls on steel wheels with hubcaps wrapped in Firestone Deluxe Champion Whitewalls. The Buick was originally ordered by a French gentleman and delivered to the South of France, where it was first sold and registered on October 13, 1951; a French "carte deGrise" (i.e. registration document) indicates that the car was indeed first registered in that country in 1951. The car is in solid condition; the interior retains all its original upholstery, including on the folding third-row rear seat, the paintwork on the dashboard, and even the original visors, headliner, and rubber floor mats. In addition, the wagon is full of patina and retains many "souvenirs" of its well-traveled life, such as a Nerva roof rack, a tinted Perspex sun visor, rope grab handles, and grille badges from France and Cameroon. It is accompanied by a file of service records, as well as a 1955 Buick instruction manual in French.
