AdamInNH Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Nice looking. Even if the color is year-correct, I call it +Baby Sh** Beige+. I suppose Buick had a fancier name for it back then. This car was for sale at least a year ago. Maybe $70K for a Roadmaster - the best one I the world, but not the one level-down Super. $70K can buy a very, very nice ‘41 Cad convertible coupe, Full Classic. I know, I sold mine just under that $ some months ago. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deac Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Looks like a nice above average driver; but it's a special! So the 70 grand price is not realistic. The wheels are not pinstriped like they should be and the lipstick red leather upholstery is a bit much !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suchan Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Color is called Corot Beige. Wheels should be Bugatti Red, a dark brick red that almost looks brown. And of course, they should be pinstriped. Pretty sure the lack of engine photos means something, too. Judging from the other liberties taken, I'm guessing the "restoration" was limited to what's immediately visible. I bet that rumble's never been sat in. You'd need to be an acrobat to get into it. Assuming original wiring and a grungy engine bay, maybe a little more than half the asking? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidinCA Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Seems like for a Roadmaster or Century that was amazing it would still be on the high end. For a Special, I agree, about double what it should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shootey Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 The coupe in the picture above was previously my car, a Century. It was on eBay recently with an asking price of $52,000. It apparently didn’t sell on eBay but I think the listing Midwest dealer eventually sold it. I don’t know what the final sales price was. I was happy to get $25,000 for it in the late 1990’s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossil Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 I'm sorry but I can't get past the top. It's starting to look like something that was found in a Goodwill box and that would kill it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
