Vehicle Description
37,166 original miles. Beautiful color combination. Runs and drives
like it should. Very clean throughout, loaded with options.
Spectacular well-preserved leather interior. Newer tires. The last
of the true rear-wheel-drive luxury
sedans!<BR><BR>America will never build a car like the
Roadmaster again, and that's a shame. There's simply nothing built
today that feels like a vintage American luxury car. This 1993
Buick Roadmaster represents the end of an era, and for fans of that
traditional body-on-frame feel, there's still nothing else like it.
And I would argue that the Roadmaster was the best of the breed,
combining modern tech with traditional construction to make a truly
special car. Finished in Dark Cherry Metallic, it has an elegant
look that was entirely the point of the Roadmaster. The sheetmetal
is quite straight and clean and it's obvious with a look underneath
that this car has not suffered through a lot of winter weather. The
doors still swing shut like the proverbial bank vault and for a
1990s GM product, quality control was excellent. The Buick was a
little more conservative than its Impala sibling, but the look is a
good one, combining traditional styling cues like a stand-up hood
ornament with a few rounded edges that acknowledge that
aerodynamics is a real thing. There's just enough chrome to make it
look upscale and a two-tone pinstripe sets just the right tone. For
a big car, the styling does a good job of making it look trim and
well-proportioned.<BR><BR>The sumptuous leather
interior is unlike anything you can buy today, with wide couches
instead of tight bucket seats and deep carpets that are hushed like
a library. The wide instrument panel includes a rather complete set
of gauges, including a tachometer (in a Buick!), with secondary
controls just where you'd expect them to be, not buried in some
touch screen menu. The steering wheel is big and wrapped in
leather, and just about everything was standard equipment including
automatic climate control, power windows, locks, seats, and
mirrors, cruise control, a tilt steering column, and a
decent-sounding Delco AM/FM/cassette stereo system. Everything
works but the A/C could use a shot of freon-it blows cool but not
cold. The seats are in excellent condition and the carpets have
been protected from day one with heavy-duty rubber mats, so they're
in great shape, too. There's expansive stretch-out room front and
rear, making this a great car for long highway trips with a
group-nobody will complain about the accommodations. And, of
course, there's a massive trunk that includes a spare tire and jack
assembly.<BR><BR>Power comes from a variation of the
familiar small-block V8. With 350 cubic inches and plenty of
torque, it's just effortless in everything it does. It's impeccably
smooth on the road and makes very muted V8 sounds that are exactly
right for a luxurious Buick. The engine bay is quite tidy and
remains 100% stock right down to the air filter assembly, and there
are no signs of hack workmanship or previous accident damage.
Thanks to modern fuel injection, it starts quickly and idles
smooth, hot or cold, and even for a big cruiser like this, fuel
economy is acceptable, not terrible. Part of that is due to the
700R4 4-speed automatic transmission, whose tall overdrive gear
works with towering 2.56 gears out back to make this a superlative
highway cruiser. It just loafs along at 75 MPH in eerie silence.
Body-on-frame construction gives you that feeling of isolation
inside, and you can see that this car has never really been out in
the elements, as the floors are spotless and only surface scale on
the heavy metal parts reveals that it's now 30 years old. Even the
exhaust system appears original. Factory alloy wheels are unmarked
and carry correct 235/70/15 whitewall radials that look fairly
recent and have plenty of life left in
them.<BR><BR>Documentation is extensive, including the
original window sticker, manuals, brochures, invoices, and
receipts.<BR><BR>If you've ever said, 'They don't make
'em like this anymore!' you were probably talking about the Buick
Roadmaster. Big, powerful, comfortable, and shockingly affordable,
it's probably the most sheetmetal-per-dollar in our showroom today.
