Nineteen thirty-nine, oh nineteen thirty-nine. A lot of great things happened in 1939. Movie historians and film enthusiasts often look back to the year as the "greatest year in film history." Hollywood was reaching the heights of its golden age, and this was the year that saw the release of an unusual large number of noteworthy movies that have become honored as all-time classics. Such examples of 1939 movies were 20th Century Fox's "Jesse James," RKO's "Hunchback of Notre Dame," and MGM's memorable "Gone with the Wind," and "The Wizard of Oz."

Nineteen thirty-nine was also the year when Bob Kane's creation, "Batman" made its first appearance. That was on May 2, 1939. Then John Steinbeck's lauded novel "The Grapes of Wrath" was first published on April 14 of the same year.

Great stars were born in 1939, too. The American singer Neil Sedaka was born on March 13, soul brother Marvin Gaye on April 2, and the orgininal godfather, American film director Francis Ford Coppola on April 7.

Speaking of stars being born on this year, another star came into being as well. But unlike the aforementioned ones that dominated the silverscreen. This one star was the king of the road: the 1939 Buick Roadmaster Convertible.

Nineteen thirty-nine was a transitional year for Buick Motor Division in regards to styling and fashion. Lots of changes and experiments added up to big changes to the automobile company especially on its other car models such as the Buick Century, Buick Special, and Buick Limited.
