Vehicle Description
40,669 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!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.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.Power comes from a
variation of the familiar small-block V8. 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 more than
acceptable, not terrible. Part of that is due to the 700R4 4-speed
automatic transmission, whose 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.Documentation is extensive,
including the original window sticker, manuals, brochures,
invoices, and receipts. It also carries a 2024 AACA National First
Prize award badge.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.
