48BuickRoadConv Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Hi, I was measuring the length of the front fender molding and noticed when looking at the Roadmaster script above the molding that it is not a Roadmaster script but a Dynaflow script!? So I think it's in the wrong place... Now I wonder where car has a place for the Dynaflow script? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've looked at several pictures of the car online, but I haven't found where the Dynaflow -script is, maybe just looked wrong pics? /Timo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Brink Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Oddly enough images I've found online show the chrome Dynaflow script being on the front fender (probably where yours is) when present. When not there the rear trunk ornament (may have turn sign signals or lights in it???) has Dyna Flow as part of the red plastic in each half respectively (when a manual transmission this is Buick Eight). Sounds like yours is as it should be. 1949 shows the Dynaflow script on the read fender only with Buick Eight in the trunk ornament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
48BuickRoadConv Posted April 2 Author Share Posted April 2 Yeah, I have a Dynaflow on the left front fender and a Roadmaster on the right front fender, maybe that's correct for this model year though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmTee Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Some examples from the internet below. Looks like "Roadmaster" on the left fender and "DynaFlow" on the right, as you seem to have noticed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD1956 Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 I would think it odd to have the mismatched insignia from the factory. My guess is one fender has been replaced at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBRMD Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 A lot of people have switched the locations over the years for whatever reason, giving rise to confusion. But the correct locations are Roadmaster to front, Dynaflow to the rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
48BuickRoadConv Posted April 2 Author Share Posted April 2 I haven't seen any '48 models with Dynaflow script online, but several '49 models with Dynaflow script on the rear fender. I also looked in a few of these sales brochures and couldn't find the Dynalof script in any of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also looked in a few of these sales brochures and couldn't find the Dynalof script in any of them You're right, I was mostly referring to '49's, but also reflecting on the Roadmaster always being up front, 48 and 49, and not Dynaflow. I think in '48, Dynaflow was just on trunk lenses, but nevertheless to the rear. Also, referencing another comment above, in '49 if you had Dynaflow, you got rear fender badges and Dynaflow trunk lenses. Trunk lenses saying Buick Eight were only for stick cars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
