History CarThis wonderful 1937 Buick Roadmaster Series 80 Convertible Sedan Cassis no. 3063784 stands out due to its remarkably preserved original condition. Formerly
part of the Art Astor Collection, it was sold by RM auctions for $66, 000 in 2008 . Its history and provenance is well known, it returned from Western
Canada, and resided in 2 west coast collections originally Howard Hughes
prior to making it into the Astor collection, which was known for having rare and original automobiles. I added a few pictures of the buick in the Astor Museum.
The 1937 Buick Roadmaster Convertible Sedan offered here is a remarkably well preserved highly original example. Clearly the recipient of outstanding care,
the Buick has only needed very minor attention, primarily
mechanical in nature to keep it running in peak condition. Exercised regularly, like all the other cars in the Astor Collection, this Buick is a fine running and driving
example. The motor was completely rebuilt, and is smooth and powerful. The radiator has been changed to a modern aluminum that uses stock mounting bolts(
stock radiator comes with sale.),
and runs cool even in warm CA weather. It is a fine car that can be toured and enjoyed.
The factory applied paintwork has been buffed to achieve a very nice shine, however, this has left it quite thin in some places. I'm sure some areas in the paint
have been touched in over the years but it is largely original. The black cloth top, which which has been done in the last 5 years shows well, and is fitted with the
Proper rear window and original glass. Likewise, some selected items of the bright work appear to have been refinished at some point, but overall, the chrome is
largely original and as such in impressive condition. The interior appears to be mostly original (except for the seat that was recovered); the original factory
installed brown leather seats and door panels have been well maintained. Like the carpets, the leather shows some evidence of wear, which is expected given it
is seventy years old. Rear seat is Brand new Brown Leather.
Trippe driving lights, enclosed dual-side mounts spare tires, spotlight and Brand new wide whitewall tires. It was treated to a complete professional restoration several years back and has been used sparingly. Converted to 12v without modifng the car from stock. 12v powergen Alt in a generator body. HEI dissy made for a straight 8 50, 000 volts to each spark plug. She runs like a top. Roadmaster is geared for the freeway and 80mph plus car. In very good driving condition.
Recently tuned and serviced, including a full front brake rebuild. Rear speedo isnt hooked up to front.
Sold as is!
