1949 Buick® Roadmaster Convertible

Buick Looks Fine For ‘49 After 3 years of work, 1949 marked the first new post-war styling for General Motor’s cars. The all-new Buicks, designed by Ned Nickles from GM’s new C-body, lived up to its ad slogan of looking “fine for ‘49”. The Roadmaster convertible led the way, both in design and performance. From its aircraft-inspired low silhouette, Art Deco taillights, 25 tooth “Dollar Grin” grille, and for the very first time, its legendary 4 “Ventiports”, the design was completely new. Under the engine the changes were as dramatic. Not only did the Roadmaster come with the Fireball straight-8 150 horsepower engine, but also Dynaflow Drive, the worlds first conventional torque converter automatic transmission.

Showroom Perfect Replica This classic die cast rendition is filled with all the features that made 1949 Buick’s best year to date, finishing in 4th place in sales and selling over 400,000 cars. From the gun sight hood ornament, Fireball straight-8 engine, factory baked-enamel finish, and rear skirts to the 4 side “Ventiports”, this 1949 Buick Roadmaster looks as good as they did rolling off the assembly line in Flint, Michigan more than a half century ago.
