You are bidding on what may be the LAST, mostly original 1 family owned Buick Roadmaster Convertible left in the world. It was the most expensive Buick you could buy in '56 and they built 572,024 Buicks that year but only 4354 Roadmaster convertibles which is less than 1% of Buicks total build qualifying it for collector car status plus how many are left ? One family owned (signed affidavit comes with it), purchased by their grandfather an Indiana Judge for 42 years and loved by the family ever since. Mostly original Carlsbad paint ( electronically metered for authenticity see pic) and correct "A" code denoting it was originally a black car from the factory on the cowl tag, it looks pretty amazing. The interior is the optional black and Ivory leather (correct code 730) befitting the Buicks most expensive car in 1956 and looks pretty incredible. Its not often you find these convertibles in this condition all intact including the original chrome and factory undercoated undercarriage. Please remember this hasn't really had a lot restoration and is super original which could be enhancing its value. Its just had a $10,000 mechanical restoration as well as the engine and transmission have just been resealed. The odometer has rolled over once however, Its only been driven less than 2000 miles a year and you can drive it today then If you choose to do a world class restoration someday its a perfect candidate.
