Now for the Description
For the sophisticated car collector the sighting of a 1949 Buick Roadmaster 2-door hardtop convertible is very rare indeed. As most car collectors know the major change in automotive design post war did not take place until Harley Earl head of all GM design was able to get his 1949 Buick Roadmaster into production. Yes, all of the different divisions for General Motors had new body styles but the Buick Roadmaster 2-door hardtop was considered to be the crème de la crème. Besides this car being a Roadmaster, having the largest Buick body with largest Buick 8-cylinder engine and also having the automatic transmission called Dynaflow. It is a 2-door hardtop. In 1949 the 2-door hardtop was considered a revolution in design because it was thought to look like a hardtop convertible. The main component of course being that the B-Pillar was non-existent and the front window and the rear quarter window when abutted together when closed without any pillars in between. The Roadmaster of course was known for having four of the decorative air take portals on the front fender instead of three like the lesser Super.
Keep in mind that Buick Division had two different bodies that they made for Buick, a long body and a short body. They had two different motors that they made one with largest 8-cylinder engine with the most horsepower and one smaller engine. They used this combination as follows, if you got a small body with a small motor you got a special, if you got a small body with a big motor you got a century, if you got a big body with a small motor they called it a super, if you got the ultimate combination – the big body with the big motor that was a Roadmaster.
While the Buicks in 1949 of all the different categories have similar looks, the Roadmaster had the presence of a super large body with the super large engine.
For those that don’t know it, Harley Earl had two favorite car divisions at General Motors. The first was the LaSalle and the second was the Buick. When LaSalles were discontinued post war, as production cars the Buick became his favorite car for design and experimenting. Thus the 1949 Buick Roadmaster hardtop convertible was the result.
Take a long hard look at the beautiful lines and generous chrome trim on this 1949 Buick Roadmaster. The colors are also special colors that highlight the hardtop design.
Now when it comes to provenance, this Buick really is one of the most desirable post war Buicks, this car was also owned by one of the wealthiest women in the United States. She was presented this car by her husband one late December day in 1949. She was overwhelmed and she always gave the car great care and attention.
She loved cars and horses. Here equestrian estate was not a hundred acres, not four hundred acres but was four thousand acres. This car was the only car that she cared about during her lifetime and when she became very old she sold it to one of her close family friend’s sons, who still has the car. – Making this a 2-owner car! The private seller has asked MissChiTown to find a good home for it.
The current owner who was a long time family friend of the original owner felt very honored that the original owner (she was about 84 at the time) chose to sell it to him about 18 years ago. The current owner has continued to maintain the car with kit gloves as the original owner had. The private seller tells us that the engine has a straight eight and automatic Dyna Flow transmission that has been rebuilt. All hydraulic lines were replaced with stainless steel. Private seller has had the car rewired and it no longer has the cotton covered wires. The car has hydraulic powered windows.
The private seller has provided some notes about the car. The private seller has kept the car in good running condition and has done the following over the years that he has owned the car: put white wall tires on the car, re-wired with a safe, updated harness, re-assembled all of the brake parts and cylinders. Repainted the wheels with Dante red, the original option trim color and had the Dynaflow transmission completely rebuilt with new seals. The hydraulic window lines were replaced with stainless tubing to avoid any rust from the fluid.
