When Better Cars Are
Built, Buick Will Build Them
1949 Buick Roadmaster Convertible
Buick Looks Fine For 49.
After 3 years of work, 1949 marked the first new post-war styling for
General Motors cars. The all-new Buicks, designed by Ned Nickles from GMs
new C-body, lived up to its ad slogan of looking fine for 49. The
Roadmaster convertible led the way, both in design and performance. From its
aircraft-inspired low silhouette, Art Deco taillights, 25-tooth Dollar Grin
grille, and for the very first time, its legendary 4 Ventiports, the design
was completely new. Under the engine the changes were as dramatic. Not only
did the Roadmaster come with the Fireball straight-8 150 horsepower engine,
but also Dynaflow Drive, the worlds first conventional torque converter
automatic transmission.
