Vehicle Description
1994 Buick Roadmaster Sedan
The Roadmaster name was used by Buick three times over 60 years
with and there was a 30 year hiatus before it was reintroduced for
the 1991 model year, giving legitimacy to the name as it was
Buick's largest vehicle on the road during the era from '91 to '96
and marked a return of the rear wheel drive platform for a sedan
since 1985.
For consignment, a one owner 1994 Buick Roadmaster sedan with a
mere 42,715 title verified actual miles on the odometer and
remaining all original with the exception of the tires and battery.
Built in Texas by Texans, this garage kept beauty is ready to
master the road under new ownership!
Exterior
If you're going to have a car that's about the size of a limousine,
you might want to continue the classy looks by dipping it in the
deep end of the pool factory applied dark red paint. This car is
decked out in Dark Cherry Metallic two stage paint with bold silver
and chrome body trim that encircles the car and utilizes the robust
bumpers to complete the loop. A twin pinstripe on the shoulder line
further helps to break up the billboard white panels that make up
this enormous car. A wide face with integrated headlights and a
gaping grille fronts a big hood and out back, the large trunk lid
cascades onto tail lights that span the six foot width of the car,
leaving a gap for the license plate. In profile, the big windows
give way to a long flat steel roof that is highlighted by C-pillar
Roadmaster emblems within horizontal opera lights. There are no
fender skirts on the car, but the rear wheel openings cover the top
part of the tires which ride on chrome wire spoke 15-inch wheels.
The tires are 235/75R15's. Imperfections include multiple dings
that may be from hail, and some scratches and scuffs on the lower
area of the front and rear bumper.
Interior
A combination of Dark Ruby Red material including plastic, vinyl,
and carpet covers the door panels with the front doors being
particularly long. The red is accented with faux burlwood trim on
the upper panel that contains door actuator, handle, lock buttons
and mirror controls. All four doors and their mixed hues of red all
look clean and intact. Large, Dark Ruby Red cloth bucket seats
occupy the front with stitched and pillow top tufted detail and
power controls on the driver's seat. The driver's seat shows some
light wear, but is not torn or worn, while a large armrest/storage
bin resides in the middle. There is a center armrest for the
backseat occupants too, who will enjoy a generous bench seat with
head restraints, all in red cloth. A simple dark red steering wheel
holds an airbag in the center and leads to a square framed gauge
cluster with round gauges on a black background. An AM/FM/Cassette
radio is housed in the center panel of faux burlwood while the A/C
panel is just above. The padded dash top is crack free and the wide
floor has dark red low pile carpet and carpeted mats on top. The
large truck is lined in gray cloth which also covers the spare, and
a cargo net is strewn side to side for smaller items you don't want
to roll around in this ice rink sized compartment.
Drivetrain
Under the hood, a presentable driver quality 5.7 liter LT1 V8
resides on the frame, putting out 260 horsepower, is fuel injected
and backed by a 4L60E 4-speed automatic transmission which sends
power to the rear wheels where it finds a 10 bolt differential with
2.56 gears. Power brakes are onboard with discs in front and drums
in the rear.
Undercarriage
The underside is driver quality with surface rust on the usual
suspects, but is devoid of any leaks or otherwise misplaced fluids.
The dual exhaust snakes its way back to a pair of OEM mufflers and
resonators, then exits out back. Suspension consists of coil
springs up front and a 4 link with coil springs out back.
Drive-Ability
After chatting it up with the fellas at the yacht club, we set sail
for the test loop, navigating our garage bay, and steering the bow
towards open waters, or at vehicle free tarmac. As expected, it's a
bit like riding on a cloud with a softness once reserved for
Cadillac and Lincoln. Use those big windows to mind your size and
you make turns, and we do so with adequate power, straight
tracking, and good braking. All functional items work as they
should. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions
were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee
these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.
The Roadmaster was the flagship car for Buick at a time, then cars
would shrink exponentially in coming years, this car represents a
moment in time, and still delivers comfort and analog operation
that's easy to maintain. Its wheelbase might be a few inches short
of true limousines, but backseat occupants are going to feel
opulent in the cavernous cabin of this big, Dark Cherry Metallic
Roadmaster.
