Description
Original and complete un-restored
condition. Very low miles - 45,600.
Includes first year 322 cubic inch Fireball V8 engine with automatic transmission, as well as the following new items on this classic vehicle:
- 12-volt conversion - Power steering hoses
- Keys and various Buick key chains - Brake pads, lines and master cylinder
- Shocks and rebuilt suspension - Radiator, water pump and thermostat
- Starter motor - Exhaust pipes and mufflers
- Firestone whitewall tires - same as original
- Gas tank, carburetor, and fuel pump
Vehicle includes older repaint in original Matador Red, original jack and spare tire, newer black vinyl convertible top and black canvas parade boot. Sale includes extra original parts.
Excellent condition with a few minor issues: hydraulic power windows stuck down, hydraulic power top stuck up, and red and white leather seats cracked.
Also included with this vehicle are the “1953 Buick Owners Guide” in mint condition, “How to Operate the Folding Top” booklet, original “Owner Service Policy 8/24/53”, “1953 Buick Shop Manual”, and “January 1953 Buick Magazine”.
This Buick Roadmaster convertible was originally designed by Harley Earl and was first sold by Hoffmann Buick, Kansas City, MO. The year this car was built was Buick's 50th Anniversary, so the company pulled out all the stops for this vehicle. The public quickly purchased an amazing 493,000 Buicks that year, which earned them a lifetime best third place in the auto industry.
In those days Buicks were the traditional choice of doctors, attorneys and successful businessmen. The sticker price for this vehicle was more than twice what a decent house cost at that time, so this car was definitely an investment only well-to-do people could afford. It is a very impressive show car.
