1955 Buick Roadmaster Series 70 Convertible

In a sizzling season, GM's venerable Buick line was the barn burner. Although styling was only moderately changed from the all-new 1954 model, buyer reaction was nothing short of astounding. More than 700,000 Buicks rolled off the lines in 1955, enough to oust Plymouth from the coveted number-three sales slot.

The Roadmaster shared its GM C-body with the Super. The Century and Special models used the slightly smaller GM B-Body. Like the high-performance Century, the Roadmaster was powered by Buick's well-respected 'nailhead' 322 cubic-inch V8 engine.

This Buick Roadmaster was acquired in 2006 by the current owners, and lovingly restored to its present condition.
