This is perhaps the most famous Buick Estate Wagon still on the road, the 1942 Buick Roadmaster 49 super Estate Wagon which was originally purchased by Warner Bros. studios in Hollywood for use in several motion pictures, including 'Now, Voyager' and 'White Heat.' Widely known as the 'Bette Davis Buick,' the vehicle - with a Burgundy exterior and matching interior - was gifted by Warner Bros. to Bette Davis. This famous Super, owned by jeweler and Buick collector Nicola Bulgari has only 37,471 original miles.
