It was driven 50 miles to our shop last month. and with the new tires. radiator. a recent LOF service. it is ready to go. MARQUE HISTORY: The post-war Roadmaster was Buick’s biggest and fastest car. It’s larger and longer straight eight engine required five inches more wheelbase and longer front fenders and hood. The exterior appearance of the 1948 Roadmaster was changed only by the addition of series script to the front fenders. Other series identification continued to be found on the bumper guards’ cross bars and within the steering wheel center medallion. The major innovation for Buick in 1948 was the availability of the Dynaflow automatic transmission which was only available as an option on the Roadmaster model.
