  • Powered by its matching-numbers 5.3-litre “Fireball” V-8 engine that produces 188 horsepower
  • One of 3,318 examples of the Roadmaster Convertible made for the 1953 model year in “76C” form and to the “4767X” body style
  • Equipped with power steering, windows, and soft-top convertible roof
  • Presented in restored condition and accompanied by photos of its workshop overhaul
  • Delivered new to Paris; single family ownership from new to 2010
  • Acquired by The Curated Collection in January 2010

The classic, 1950s American styling extravagance of the Series 70 Roadmaster Convertible is perhaps best encapsulated by the “VentiPorts”. The four chrome flourishes that sit on each of the front wings are reminiscent of exhaust stacks on fighter aircraft. For the best effect, Buick designer Ned Nickle added orange lights to his car that flashed in time with the spark plugs.

First registered in September 1953, as Buick celebrated its golden anniversary, the example offered here is understood to have been sold new in Paris via General Motors concessionaire, Auto-Hall. According to

The Standard Catalog of American Cars

by John Gunnell, the Buick was one of 3,318 examples of the “76C” Roadmaster Convertible built for the 1953 model year to the “4767X” body style. Boasting single-family ownership for almost six decades, this Roadmaster was restored in the late 1990s before being sold at auction in January 2010, when it was acquired by The Curated Collection.

Understood to have been built new in Seamist Grey, the Buick is now presented in Ivory over Burgundy upholstery with matching fascia, while the car is equipped with power steering, windows, and soft-top convertible roof. Meanwhile, under the bonnet rests an overhead valve, 322-cubic-inch (5.3-litre) “Fireball” V-8 engine that delivers 188 horsepower via a “Dynaflow” automatic transmission, which is controlled by a column-mounted shifter. The car is accompanied by its owner’s guides. It is extremely rare to find an American Classic like this in Europe, especially one with this provenance, so it would make a fine addition to any collection.

Un des éléments les plus caractéristiques du style extravagant et typique des années 50 de la Roadmaster Convertible Series 70 est peut-être la série de prises d'air latérales en forme de hublots. Ces quatre orifices chromés situés de part et d'autre des ailes avant rappellent les pipes d'échappement des avions de combat. Pour obtenir un effet encore plus saisissant, le styliste Buick Ned Nickle a ajouté à cette voiture des témoins orange qui s'allument au rythme des bougies d'allumage.

Immatriculée pour la première fois en septembre 1953, quand Buick célébrait son cinquantième anniversaire, la voiture présentée ici aurait été vendue neuve à Paris par l'intermédiaire du concessionnaire General Motors, Auto-Hall. Selon

The Standard Catalog of American Cars

de John Gunnell, cette Buick appartenait aux 3 318 exemplaires de la Roadmaster Convertible "76C" produits pour l'année modèle 1953 avec le style de carrosserie "4767X". Restée dans la même famille pendant presque six décennies, cette Roadmaster a été restaurée à la fin des années 90 avant d'être vendue aux enchères en janvier 2010, quand elle a été achetée par "The Curated Collection".

Sans doute de couleur "Seamist Grey" d'origine, cette Buick est maintenant blanc ivoire avec sièges et tableau de bord bordeaux, et elle est équipée d'une direction assistée, de vitres électriques et d'une capote électrique. Le capot dissimule un moteur V8 à soupapes en tête de 5,3 litres développant 188 ch et relié à une transmission automatique "Dynaflow" commandée par un levier au volant. Cette voiture est accompagnée de ses manuels d'utilisation. Il est extrêmement rare de trouver en Europe une classique américaine comme celle-ci, surtout avec une telle provenance, si bien qu'elle enrichira magnifiquement toute collection.
