Smartin Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Appears to be a decent deal, no? https://www.ebay.com/itm/1949-Buick-Roadmaster-Black/233264321639?hash=item364fa31467:g:tNIAAOSwOWpck8hv 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Phillips Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Nice looking Roadmaster. Looks like they covered up the rear seat's center armrest when they reupholstered it, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smartin Posted June 22, 2019 Author Share Posted June 22, 2019 It appears the seat covers are just covering up the old stuff. Maybe original upholstery under there? Man, we were right down the road from Enid last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuickBob49 Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Get yourself a set of wide white American Classic 8.20R15 radials and you are ready to cruise in style! (See the photo of my 1949 Super that I've owned since 1978.) I've had American Classic 7.60R15s on it since 2014. They're great! They look very much like the original old U.S. Royal 7.60 x 15s that came with the car. Same size white wall. Great ride at 65 mph down the freeway. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suchan Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Handsome car. Ditto on it needing some original diameter tires, some nice wide whites. Bob's car looks great. Price seems pretty low, especially considering it's being advertised by what seems to be a dealer. Good-looking seat covers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smartin Posted June 24, 2019 Author Share Posted June 24, 2019 The Hagerty valuation tool says the pricing for this car is for a #2 condition. I don't see this as a #2 car. More like a 3...or 3- I could fix that, though 🤣 Stop it, Adam. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancemb Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 So it seems it's not really a bargain then right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a good-looking car, but those undersize tires with the narrow whitewalls aren't helping its case. Gives the impression that upkeep might've been done on the cheap elsewhere as well. It needs some tall tires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It needs some tall tires. I think it is a very fair price. Reading it again, seller acknowledges there are seat covers over original upholstery. They claim since new, but those seat covers are more like 1980's. If the upholstery has actually been covered since new though, it should be really nice. If so, then with less than 48k miles seems like a great car for this money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smartin Posted June 24, 2019 Author Share Posted June 24, 2019 I would have to inspect this one personally. It's not in the cards right now, though. Bummer we didn't see this while we were down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
