The 1930s car featured in this eBay auction is indeed an underappreciated gem that has caught the attention of the writer. The bidding, currently under $10,000 with no reserve, makes it a potentially great value for the money. Located in Denver, Colorado, this big and beautiful Roadmaster has a lot to offer.
According to the seller, the car has been in the same family for the past 30 years and has been well cared for in a garage. While there are some flaking spots on the paint, overall, the car still presents itself very well in the pictures, making any immediate cosmetic changes unnecessary.The front end of the car is particularly striking, with its grand presence and the Buick's 8-cylinder engine prominently displayed in the center of the front bumper. The streamlined headlight nacelles on either side of the grille and the twin spares add to its allure. It's a sight that would surely demand attention if seen in the rearview mirror.
Taking a peek inside, the interior appears to be in impressive condition, suggesting that the car may have undergone a refurbishment at some point. Despite showing only 55,394 miles on the odometer, this Buick Roadmaster looks pristine, and the seller notes that it was considered the crown jewel of the Buick lineup due to its large body, long wheelbase, and powerful engine.
Passengers in the rear are not forgotten either, as they are treated to a spacious and comfortable couch-like seat, providing an elegant and luxurious ride. The writer wonders about the forward-leaning position required to look out the side window, speculating that the car's original occupants may have been more interested in conversing with each other than observing the world outside.Under the hood, the Dynaflash inline 8 engine appears to be mostly original, with the exception of the valve cover verbiage, which might have been painted rather than a decal when the car was new. Nevertheless, the engine bay remains attractive, and the neatly covered plug wires and plugs add to its vintage charm.
The writer expresses enthusiasm for owning such a classic car and wonders what the final price of the auction will be. With its well-maintained condition, historical significance, and overall beauty, it's no surprise that the Buick Roadmaster is capturing the attention and admiration of vintage car enthusiasts alike.
As for the final price, it's hard to predict accurately, but with the current bidding being under $10,000, it seems like an excellent opportunity for potential buyers to own a piece of automotive history and relish in the elegance and grandeur of motoring from a bygone era.
