48 Buick Roadmaster $15,500


Recommended Posts

Nice paint! I may be unusual, but I like these '48's (and earlier) a little better than the '49's. The side "fender" contours make them more stylish, IMO, but I really like the '49's, too. I don't think Buick made a bad looking car (until recent times.)

Good point adding text to the ad John. Didn't follow link to ad as I am not a player for this car now but would have thpught it was running.  A bit less appealling - sti cosmetics are nice, an offer reflecting taking a chance and assuming some sorting should still get a nice car unless something more is wrong with it.

Yes Steve, I am home recovering from COVID (GRRRR...) and did this on my phone, and thought I'd cut and pasted the sellers write up.  It has a nice looking presentation, but "not running" means the buyer is gong to take their chances.  I have that Buick straight 8 in my 52 Super.  A great engine.  Perhaps it is as simple as ignition/fuel issues.  With an offer that reflects the risk to the buyer, it looks like a nice car.  I love the older Buicks.

Hope you recover fast John!  Neighbor just had it second time around, I guess virtually no symptoms but he is an MD in a nursing home system so they test all the time.  Had all the boosters, etc.

Him, "I am fine, it's basically a forced vacation"

Me "good for you, stay over on your side for now!"  😁😁😁

 

I could see a Buick as a great tour car, big and powerful enough.  Not too expensive to buy a good one and a ready market at sale time.  Working it's way up the want list, and I love these years like @JamesR noted above as well.
