1952 Buick Roadmaster

Buick Roadmaster (1952)
for sale

Price: US $8,000.00

Description:

Up for auction is Betty, our beautiful 1952 Buick Roadmaster. This is a rare model of Roadmaster, featuring the 4 portholes that depicted Buick's top of the line models. If you want a car that stops people in their tracks, this is the one for you. People literally stop what they are doing to cross streets and parking lots to come look at her, she is that eye-catching!! Originally an Arizona car, Betty was relocated to Washington state two years ago. (She has been stored inside a dry, heated shop.) We have had a lot of fun with her and truly hate to have her go, but it's time for a new home and her next enthusiastic owners.
Betty is in very good shape for her years. There are the little dings and dents expected of a car of this age, but nothing major. The paint was redone to a maroon (Apache Red) from the original green color. The paint is in very good shape, with a few rubs where the hood meets the body, but nothing that seriously detracts from her look. The interior is a beige plush cloth with maroon trim and an olive green carpet. The chrome is in good shape, a few dings and light scrapes to again.be expected from her age. She has 4 white wall tires with the very cool Sombrero hubcaps. Tires are fairly new with less than 3000 miles on them; spare is brand new. The interior is in excellent shape, with a very cool dashboard featuring lots of chrome knobs and trim. All lights work, heater works, windshield wipers and electric windows work, although wipers work on a vacuum so can be very slow. Radio and clock do NOT work at this time. (the red on the radio antenna is a red Christmas bow that was there when we first got her)
If you want a VERY cool cruiser or a car show car that attracts a LOT of attention, Betty will do that for you. It really is amazing how much attention she gets and how many people will come to look at her, comment on her and tell stories of how so & so had one of these when I was a kid. Lots of fun to have people tell those stories and enjoy seeing her so much. .
Betty is sold as is, where is. She is for sale locally, so we reserve the right to end auction early if she sells here. Buyer is responsible for transportation/all shipping costs. If you have any questions, please email. We check email several times a day. Concrete is located about a three hour drive north of Seattle. We will be glad to meet you and show her locally. Thank you for looking, and good luck with your bidding.
