This 1948 Buick Roadmaster Sedanet Refurbishment work under
prior ownership is said to have included a repaint, an interior
refresh, and installation of a later GM four-speed automatic
transmission. The car is finished in metallic blue over Pearl Naugahyde
upholstery and powered by a 320ci straight-eight, and equipment includes
a 12-volt electrical conversion, air conditioning, an Alpine stereo
system, an alarm, and an Accuair air-ride suspension system. This
Roadmaster Sedanet is now offered with literature and memorabilia,
refurbishment photos, and an Ontario registration document in the
seller’s name.
The body was repainted in metallic blue during a refurbishment that
reportedly took place between 1989 and 1993. The refurbishment is said
to have included replacement rubber seals, re-chromed brightwork, and
tinted window glass.
Blue-finished 15? steel wheels wear chrome covers and wide-whitewall
tires. The car features an Accuair airbag suspension system, and curb
feelers are installed just behind the right-front wheel. Braking is
handled by four-wheel drums.
The cabin features Pearl Naugahyde upholstery that was reportedly
installed by Weimann’s Interiors of Delmont, Pennsylvania, around 1990.
Amenities include an aftermarket air conditioning unit, an alarm system,
a Kenwood cassette player, and an Alpine stereo unit mounted in the
glove box along with the remote control for the air suspension system.
The seller notes the satellite radio functionality does not work. Cracks
are visible on the bolster portion of the front seat driver-side.
The three-spoke steering wheel frames a 120-mph speedometer and gauges
for oil pressure, fuel level, amperage, and temperature. A clock is
located on the passenger-side of the dashboard. The five-digit odometer
shows 81k miles, approximately 1k of which were added under current
ownership. True milage is unknown.
The 320ci straight-eight features dual Rochester carburetors and MSD
ignition components. The wiring has been converted to utilize 12 volts,
and custom fabricated aluminum inner-fender covers are installed.
The original Dynaflow transmission was replaced under prior ownership
with a 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission using a custom-fabricated
adapter plate. Please ask for more info if needed. Thanx for looking.
