Buick Roadmaster

Picture dated November 2008



The Roadmaster was produced from 1936 through to 1958; it was built on Buick's largest body shared with the Super. It and the Super were replaced by the Electra in 1959. The origins of the Roadmaster name date to 1936 when Buick added names to its entire model lineup to celebrate the engineering improvements and design advancements over their 1935 models.

The 1942 Roadmaster was longer, lower, wider, and roomier than before thanks in part to a longer wheelbase. There was also a new vertical-bar grille and "Airfoil" fenders that swept back all the way to the rear fenders, which in subsequent generations became the chromed "Sweepspear". Effective at the beginning of 1942, new automobiles were available only to those in occupations deemed essential to the war effort. By mid-January, cars with no exterior chrome trim apart from the bumpers were being produced.

Production of the Roadmaster halted between February 1942 and when it was restarted in 1946 the model was little changed, a situation that remained until 1949
