BUICK ROADMASTER - 1948 For Sale by Auction

The car introduced here is a most desirable 1948 Buick Roadmaster convertible. This automobile is in excellent condition and was comprehensively restored, as shown by an important dossier of pictures detailing various steps of the work. It has dark blue paintwork over a two tones cream and blue interior and upholstery. Paintwork was very well made and the chromes are still very shiny. The car sits on four whitewall tires mounted on original steel wheels with hubcaps and the soft top is all-electric, which was surprisingly ahead of its time. The interior features two bench seats facing a steel dashboard that still retains the original radio and is sorted with the body. This car is absolutely everything you want from a 1940’s automobile: dual windshield, search lamp, large size and a smooth straight eight “fireball” engine that provides comfort and power. If you like American vintage cars, this is the one to have.

En 1942, la Buick Roadmaster devient le fleuron du constructeur américain en étant plus longue, plus large, plus spacieuse que les autres modèles de la gamme. Lorsque la production automobile américaine reprit en 1946, la Roadmaster n’est pas modifiée. Seuls quelques accastillages chromes font leur apparition, tout comme les fender-skirts. En 1948, la Roadmaster était disponible avec les vitres électriques, les banquettes électriques et la capote électrique de série, preuve s’il en est du caractère haut de gamme de cette Buick. Les résultats sont au rendez-vous avec 80 000 exemplaires vendues en 1948 soit en moyenne quatre fois plus qu’avant la seconde guerre mondiale.

L’exemplaire présenté dans cette vente est une très désirable Buick Roadmaster convertible de 1948. Elle est en excellent état général, ayant été restaurée récemment. De nombreuses photos détaillent les différentes étapes. La voiture se présente dans une livrée bleu nuit associée à un intérieur beige et bleu. La peinture est de belle facture, tous comme les nombreux chromes. La voiture est équipée de quatre pneus à flancs blancs montés sur des jantes en acier à enjoliveurs, et la capote est électrique, chose très avant-gardiste pour l’époque. L’intérieur comprend deux banquettes en très bel état. Le tableau de bord reprend la teinte de la carrosserie et conserve la radio d’origine. Le moteur et la boite de vitesses viennent d’être révisés, la voiture est maintenant prête à être utilisée. La Roadmaster est le superlatif des voitures américaines des années 1940 : double pare brise, phare de poursuite, un moteur 8 cylindres en ligne fournissant puissance et confort.

Moteur : 8 cylindres en ligne

Cylindrée : 5. 2 Litres

Estimation / Estimate: 50 000 - 60 000 €
