BUICK'S TOP POSTWAR LINEHIGHLY DETAILED, FRESHLY INSPECTED &
EXPERTLY SERVICEDAs the foundation of General Motors, Buick has
consistently led America's auto industry throughout its long
history with outstanding engineering, power, and prestige. During
the 1930s, Buick competed head-on with Packard, and by 1938, Buick
president Harlow "Red" Curtice even had fellow GM division Cadillac
in his sights. The Roadmaster was key to this strategy, introduced
in 1936 and applied to Buick's top models through 1957. Modern
restyling of Buick models for 1941 and 1942 was performed by Harley
Earl's famous GM Styling studios and further enhanced for 1948.
This design language was especially attractive on Buick's
low-production, top-of-the-line Roadmaster line through 1948. These
very fine cars are sought-after by today's collectors for their
great looks, 8-cylinder power, relative rarity and outstanding
drivability.This 1948 Buick Roadmaster Convertible Coupe is an
outstanding example from the last model year for the winning
1942-48 body design. Handsomely finished in 2-tone Cumulus Gray and
Sunmist Gray, it is accented by the Gray cloth interior with
striking Blue pinstripe accents. Power is delivered by Buick's
renowned inline 8-cylinder "Fireball Dynaflash" engine,
factory-rated at 150 HP, matched with a rare optional Buick
"Dynaflow" automatic transmission. Other highlights include a
period-correct Fulton Sunshield, bumper guards, a Buick 'Sonomatic'
AM radio, headlamp covers, and a tissue dispenser. The engine,
engine compartment, and the rest of the Roadmaster are highly
detailed and the mechanicals are freshly serviced. Additional
attention to detail includes the replacement of the brake master
cylinder, inspection of the wheel cylinders (all good w/ no leaks
observed), and the replacement of the torque tube seal and the
inner and outer rear axle seals.Ready to collect and show, this
1948 Buick Roadmaster was formerly part of a noted collection
celebrating the world's automotive design and engineering
landmarks. Unlike many other more common postwar classics, this
Roadmaster offers an outstanding driving experience with the
capability of cruising effortlessly at highway speeds while
providing comfort and space for family and friends. Find out more
