I have this car in black.The dynaflow tranny is definitely not for dragging its a steady climb which is what you'd want for rational daily driving.But people always pull up next to you and want you to peel out.
Aside from that the thing is like a limo.Real beauty
My Dad has a 1948 Buick Roadmaster Dynaflow , Thats true not ment for Hot Roding . But i can get this car 2 move out nice , Just don't floor it . Give it some gas it will start pullin then start 2 slowly squeeze the gas , The car just seem 2 keep pulling like a freight train . Best performance is around 45 mph feed the gas nice & steady before you no it your up to 100 mph , On a nice straight road , 100 mph is proubly about tops , Car gives the impession it wants to keep going
The toothed grille, the portholes -- now that's what a Buick should be! One of my first childhood memories was of the guy across the street who had a 2-tone green '52 Buick 4-door, always in immaculate shape even though it sat outside all the time.
Wow, what can I say, she's a beauty. I had the pleasure of touring New England in a '95 Roadmaster but always wanted to tour the US in a proper classic '49 Roadhog. I live in the UK and cars like this are basically a distant dream to own, the roads and gas prices aren't meant for great cars like this.
i am currently restoring a 1950 special just got done rebulding the fuel pump and the genartor re wired it and getting ready to tackel brakes then the radio then im ready for the streets and im not gonna hot rod it the buicks are to beautiful to hot rod
I´m pleased to mention that this car , has the first configurated engine with valves over head by GM .Something that really added power at that time . I grew up sleeping in the rear seat of that "HEAVENS CLOUD "and learned to drive . They were made for comfortable long trips .NOT FOR HOT RODING . And I still remember the diff´s sound , the only sound inside. Thanks for sharing this vid . I also own one of this fat babes ,a 5 to 7 years restore activities are waiting me. Greetings .
With the "DynaSlush" Tranny not very good. Power came from the Buick straight 8 which had a relatively low compression. This and the 4,500 pound bulj of this thing would make it pretty sluggish. By the late 50's Buicks became a bit more hotter to the touch :D
great car but nothing like those 2 doors

My uncle had a 1949 Buick Roadmaster grey 4 door sedan. It was a great car with an incredibly smooth ride.

@fjbutch He may have had one. He did have an old 1948 Packard wagon which was a woody. Very rare car. It was for sale in Hemmings Motor News.
