57 Roadmaster 76R

[Guest radco]

I have a 1957 Roadmaster model 76R paint code AA Carlsbad black. The car is all original with 57K 

original miles. I am the second owner (had 21 years) There seems to be some controversy on the

back window. Mine has a one piece rear window which i'm told is "not common" to the 76R.

The 76R should have a 3 piece back window according to records I have found. I am new at this

and would appreciate some help identifying wether this is rare or not.

My car has power steering, brakes, windows and seat. 

Thanks for any help you can provide.

There is a special Buick forum here on AACA and they are very knowledgeable.  Suggest you ask here -

Model 76R Roadmaster 2-door hardtop (Riviera), 6-passenger (three section rear window) production = 3,826

 

The data plate on the cowl should tell you the Buick model and Fisher body style number.

Buick model 76A = Fisher body style 4737X

Buick model 76R = Fisher body style 4737DX
