Upscale and en vogue, the Buick Roadmaster has long held the title of most prestigious Buick, the name instantly recognizable and widely appreciated as a luxury car offering outstanding value, trendsetting styling and bold use of materials and design. This 1941 Roadmaster is a multiple AACA Senior Grand National winner and presents in lovely condition, the popular light-yellow color offering an elegant cheeriness contrasted with an interior carpeted and upholstered in a rich red.
A 320/165 HP inline 8-cylinder engine and 3-speed manual transmission motivate the convertible in effortless fashion, the famous “Valve-In-Head” design of the “Fireball Dynaflash Eight” creating one of the most efficient, responsive engines of the era. An independent front suspension and semi-floating rear axle with coil springs at all four corners was designed to help provide a supple ride blended with stability at speed and negotiating curves and corners, while 4-wheel hydraulic brakes heighten the sense of security and control.
An interesting point about Buick, it was constantly developing and researching new ways to make an automobile as enjoyable, comfortable and rewarding as it could be, engineering and styling both paramount to the company’s philosophy. Buick’s efforts in advanced engineering offered customers many forward-thinking and, often, unconventional features well before other manufacturers brought similar products to market, making them one of the more technologically inclined companies at the time.
Buick’s work intersecting flowing lines, gentle curves and careful use of trim, as well as the creative use of materials such as engine-turned aluminum, stainless trim with painted details, specialized fabrics and upholsteries, all conspired to create fantastically styled cars that subtly stood out among the rest. This one has steel wheels painted to match the body, chrome hubcaps and trim rings, all wrapped with wide whitewall tires, that help sustain the upscale look and feel that helped put Buick at the top.
