Facts about the model

The Roadmaster was built on Buick's longest chassis and shared its basic mechanics with Cadillac's entry-level model. For many years, it served as Buick's flagship, and that remained the case when the new model was introduced in 1949. The Roadmaster received a proper refreshment for the first time after World War II. The 1949 facelift included a new two-piece panoramic windshield. That same year, the iconic chrome portholes were introduced on the sides - four on the Roadmaster, and three on the slightly simpler Super, Century, and Special models. With a straight-eight engine producing 150 hp under the hood and the automatic Dynaflow transmission now standard, this was a true performance machine.
During the year, a two-door version called the Buick Roadmaster Riviera was introduced, followed later by a convertible model. The Buick Roadmaster quickly gained a reputation for being very good value compared to Cadillac.
