1949 Buick Roadmaster Convertible
When Better Cars Are Built, Buick Will Build
Them
From its aircraft-inspired low silhouette, Art
Deco tail lights, 25-tooth Dollar Grin grille,
and for the very first time, its legendary 4 Ventiports,
the design was completely new.
1949 Buick Roadmaster Convertible - Buick Looks
Fine For 49.
After 3 years of work, 1949 marked the first new
post-war styling for General Motors cars. The
all-new Buicks, designed by Ned Nickles from GM's
new C-body, lived up to their ad slogan of looking
fine for 49.
The Roadmaster convertible led the way, both in
design and performance.
Under the engine the changes were just as dramatic.
Not only did the Roadmaster come with the Fireball
straight-8 150 horsepower engine, but also Dynaflow
Drive, the world's first conventional torque converter
automatic transmission.
