1948 Buick Roadmaster

GR Auto Gallery is pleased to bring to market this clean 1948 Buick Roadmaster. This car is believed to be a 3-owner car that is believed to be highly original. According to the owner, the paint and interior are original and has had seat covers installed to protect the seats. The Roadmaster is powered by its 320 CID inline 8 cylinder motor that runs smoothly and is paired with a 3 speed manual transmission. The exterior is in excellent condition and the chrome polishes to a high shine. Other highlights include a “Borg” dash clock, white wall tires, visor, spare tire and jack.

The Buick Roadmaster is an automobile that was built by Buick from 1936 to 1958, and again from 1991 to 1996. Roadmasters produced between 1936 and 1958 were built on Buick's longest non-limousine wheelbase and shared their basic structure with the entry-level Cadillac Series 65, the Buick Limited, and after 1940, the Oldsmobile 98. Between 1946 and 1957 the Roadmaster served as Buick's flagship.
When it was resurrected for the 1991 through 1996 model years, it became the marque's largest vehicle. The Roadmaster sedan, a C-body vehicle over its eight previous generations, shared the B-body for the first time in its history. It was a full 10 in (254 mm) longer with a 5 in (127 mm) greater wheelbase than the C-body Buick Park Avenue. It was also larger both in wheelbase (2 in (51 mm)) and overall length (6 in (152 mm)) than the K-body Cadillac DeVille.
