Eastern Shore Classic Cars presents a true 1950’s Classic…. the 54 Buick Roadmaster. The Roadmaster was top-of-the-line for Buick in 1954, (outside of the Skylark convertible). For 1954 all Buicks featured a complete restyle including wrap-around windshields for the first time. Their hoods were now nearly level with the fenders and headlights, giving the cars a clean, modern stance, but they still maintained the big grille, massive bumpers and fender ports that they were famous for. 1954 models utilized a wheelbase of 127-inches and were powered by Buick’s 322 cubic inch V-8 Nailhead engine producing 200HP, up from 188 of the previous year. The 1954 Roadmaster truly was just one rung below the Cadillac in both luxury and prestige. Standard equipment included a Dynaflow automatic transmission, full wheel covers, power brakes, power steering, and hydraulic-electric power windows (except on the sedan), and power antenna. Various interior upholsteries were available, including leather, broadcloth and nylon combinations. This fine example has been lovingly restored by the owner. Just shy of Concourse level, it can more than hold its own on the show field. There is no evidence of rust and the body and undercarriage seem solid. The motor purrs and the interior shows little evidence of wear. It still retains the wonder bar radio in the dash however the owner has added a more modern update below for listening pleasure. It is a rolling time capsule of the Buick 50’s era. Please contact Hank at hank@easternshoreclassiccars.com or text at 201-317-9277 for more details. The car is located in Central NJ and is offered at 28000.00.
