During the 1930s, Buick competed head-on with Packard, and by 1938, Buick president Harlow "Red" Curtice even had fellow GM division Cadillac in his sights. The Roadmaster was key to this strategy, introduced in 1936 and applied to Buick's top models through 1957. Modern restyling of Buick models for 1941 and 1942 was performed by Harley Earl's famous GM Styling studios and further enhanced for 1948. This design language was especially attractive on Buick's low-production, top-of-the-line Roadmaster line through 1948. These very fine cars are sought-after by today's collectors for their great looks, 8-cylinder power, relative rarity and outstanding drivability.This 1948 Buick Roadmaster Convertible Coupe is an outstanding example from the last model year for the winning 1942-48 body design. Handsomely finished in 2-tone Cumulus Gray and Sunmist Gray, it is accented by the Gray cloth interior with striking Blue pinstripe accents. Power is delivered by Buick's renowned inline 8-cylinder "Fireball Dynaflash" engine, factory-rated at 150 HP, matched with a rare optional Buick "Dynaflow" automatic transmission. Other highlights include a period-correct Fulton Sunshield, bumper guards, a Buick 'Sonomatic' AM radio, headlamp covers, and a tissue dispenser. The engine, engine compartment, and the rest of the Roadmaster are highly detailed and the mechanicals are freshly serviced. Additional attention to detail includes the replacement of the brake master cylinder, inspection of the wheel cylinders (all good w/ no leaks observed), and the replacement of the torque tube seal and the inner and outer rear axle seals.Ready to collect and show, this 1948 Buick Roadmaster was formerly part of a noted collection celebrating the world's automotive design and engineering landmarks. Unlike many other more common postwar classics, this Roadmaster offers an outstanding driving experience with the capability of cruising effortlessly at highway speeds while providing comfort and space for family and friends.
