1951 Buick Roadmaster Convertible

1951 Buick Roadmaster Convertible  "NO MISSING PARTS"

It breaks my heart to have to sell this Unique Specimen of Automotive Art. I have owned this car for many years as I purchased it from a Widow Lady whose father purchased it new in 1951. The last year it was licensed was in 1980.  She told about the day her father went to pick the car up at the Buick Dealership. She was the oldest and luckiest of five siblings as she got to go with her father to pick up the car. She remembers how her Dad put the Convertible top down and her long hair went all directions in the breeze.  As she grew older her father let her drive the car in the Homecoming Parades.   She recently passed but I cherish the stories she related to me of her long lasting love for the Roadmaster. When her father passed the car was left to her and her husband. In 1992 her husband passed but only after a ten year swap meet effort to find as many NOS parts as he could for his ongoing restoration of the vehicle.   And he did. NOS Rear Fenders. nbsp;Stainless Steel Moldings and numerous other items. He had a new interior of Red and White made for the car by a Company in Chicago. They did a fine job. I have the completed door panels and everything else that goes with the interior. All new weather stripping and many many extra parts. All of the chrome has been redone and the bumpers put back together ready for installation. The motor purrs like a kitten. I recall my dad who was a dyed in the wool Buick Connoisseur telling me that he could tune a Straight Eight Buick Engine to keep a quarter standing on its end during acceleration. Those Pierce Arrows didn't have a thing on a Buick he would say.   Due to health issues of my own I am forced to sell this awesome motor car. I never got the time to put it back together.   I did the brakes and a few other things and often drove it around the block for exercise. even without the front fenders on. I am told that the motor was rebuilt during the restoration endeavor. I have kept the car and  all of the parts in a Climate Controlled environment. Look at the pictures close and either email me at daveglassel@gmail. com  Text or call me at 832 533 7767.   This is a Roadmaster. not a Super or a Special. It is the genuine four holer as they called the Roadmasters in the South.   I am asking $25. 00 for the car FOB Houston. Texas. I can arrange delivery if need be. Global shipments from the Port of Houston.   I would entertain a partial trade.   Let me know what you have.
