To say that the Roadmaster had humble beginnings is a huge understatement. The name itself was intended to evoke images synonymous with power, handling and elegant styling, elements that, by and large, had been lacking at GM's Buick division since the 1920’s.
The recession-plagued year of 1956 didn't help Buick. However, some consider the styling refinements made then to be a vast improvement over the previous year; these upgrades included a new grille and a V-shaped front end, while chrome trim remained slim and tastefully applied. That attitude changed in 1957, largely due to the reintroduction of a chrome-laden three-piece backlite on select Roadmasters. Today, the Roadmaster name still resonates with collectors.
This Hardtop is beautiful in its mauve/white colors. It has just 40,857 original miles and still runs and drives like new. Features a power seat, power steering, Wonderbar radio, tissue dispenser, power brakes and air conditioning. Sold new at Downtown Buick in Denver, Colorado. A wonderful, original example.
