"Rare And Luxurious-
The 1949 Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon is a rare and luxurious example of postwar American automotive design. Constructed on Buick's top-tier Roadmaster chassis, this wagon combined the power and prestige of a flagship sedan with the utility of a family hauler. Only 653 units were produced in 1949, making it one of the most exclusive wagons of all time. The most striking feature of the '49 Estate Wagon is its hand-crafted wood bodywork. Buick partnered with coach builders to create the beautiful ash and mahogany panels that adorned the car's sides and rear.
Hollywood History-
This Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon also has a bit of a storied history. It is said that it was once owned by a gentleman in show business, Richard Donner. Mr. Donner was the director of numerous Hollywood action-blockbusters including Superman, The Goonies and The Omen - this wagon has 'Star Power'.
Outstanding In And Out-
The Buick's exterior has been carefully refinished in Royal Maroon, and the wood trim is well-maintained. All the chrome and stainless is in outstanding condition and accents include the massive Buick 'toothy' grill, classic hood ornament, front fender Ventiports and dual spotlights. Factory wheels with full covers mount wide-white radial tires. The tan vinyl interior has also been totally refreshed, and the stunning dash holds the original push-button AM radio. There are also a handsome set of factory gauges and a steering wheel that is simply a piece of art.
Straight 8 Power-
The Buick is powered by a 320ci 'Fireball Straight 8' engine that was rated at 150hp and 280lb/ft of torque. These engines were engineered with overhead valves and replaceable main/connecting rod bearings. The Fireball is equipped with a Carter WCD 2-barrel carburetor and torque is transferred by a Dynaflow automatic transmission to a stock differential. The Dynaflow transmission was essentially a one-speed automatic with a variable torque convertor, much smoother than other automatics of the era. In addition, a second 'low' gear could be manually engaged.
Cushion Like Ride-
The Roadmaster featured 4-wheel coil spring suspension with ride stabilizers. Manual hydraulic brakes use 12"" drums to provide stopping power and the steering box utilizes a 29:1 ratio for turning ease.
This classic Roadmaster Estate Wagon is ready for a new owner who will appreciate a Buick icon.
