Having bought this car back from the previous owner. this is the second time we have had the opportunity to represent this fine Roadmaster. Prior to our initial ownership. the car began restoration with a father and his sons. who both a Buick dealership and an auto body shop in Highland Park. IL. Upon selling the car (now 95% complete) with the auto body shop in the mid-2000s to the gentleman we bought the car from. it was finished and driven very sparingly. We bought and sold the car in 2008 and this owner contributed very little mileage. with the car only seeing light use on nice Colorado days. With originality and functionality in mind. everything is fully operational. including the glovebox clock and courtesy lights. Proper stickers are everywhere. including the engine bay and tire pressure sticker on the glovebox door. Underneath. you will find a fuel pump installed for added drivability while retaining a correct 6V charging system. The car has newer brake lines. exhaust and body mount and running board hardware and will come with a boot cover and car cover. The car continues to run and drive exceptionally well and shows minimal cosmetic signs of use. We are making no claims to the car’s indicated mileage of 27. 88. Please note that the car is titled off the engine number. as was common practice in the 1930s. We would invite any interested parties to call with additional questions! Thanks for looking!
