1958 Buick Roadmaster Series 75 4 Door Hardtop

1958 Buick Roadmaster Series 75 4 Door Hardtop

Available at a Fair Reserve Price. this is an Unbelievably Beautiful. Very Well-Preserved. Original Car.  This Super Clean 1950's Classic Runs and Drives as good as it looks.   Originally it was a Nebraska car before I bought it.   It still has the original paint. interior. engine and drive train.   Survivors like this are hard to come by. With less than 49. 00 miles. you would be hard-pressed to ever find a better one.  

In 1958. the Series 75 Roadmaster was Buick's most well endowed model.   In addition to tons of chrome embellishment and all the features found on lesser Buicks. the Roadmaster has 364 cubic inch V8. Dual Exhaust. Variable Pitch Dynaflow Automatic Transmission. Power Steering. Power Brakes. Power Windows. a 6-way Power Front Seat. Safety Cushion Dash. Ignition Key Light. Trip Mileage Indicator. Radio. Clock. Back-up Lights. Bumper Guards. Variable Speed Wipers. Windshield Washer. Geared Vent Panes. Carpeted Floors and Lower Doors. Glare-Proof Rear View Mirror. Safety Speed Buzzer. Brake Warning Light. and Deluxe Wheel Covers.   The Seats are Cloth and Leather.   An optional Factory installed Air Ride Suspension is also on this car. (The compressor can be seen on the top pulley in the engine compartment  pictures. )

I purchased the car in the mid nineties from a Gentleman Nebraska Rancher (who sold me several cars. )  I have put on less than 1000 miles since owning it.   The car has been in storage for most of the past 17 years.   The 364 cubic inch V8 with Dual Exhaust starts right up and is ready to go.   It rides and sounds just like it should. It Glides smoothly down the road.   Brakes and White Wall Tires are good. lights and gauges work. and the rest of the car is just as it should be…good working order.     Odometer reads less than 49. 00 miles. and was represented to me by the original owner as being accurate mileage.   This is an Excellent Representative of 1950's Americana.    It is available for viewing in Denver by contacting me and setting a time.   It is being advertised locally and is subject to sale possibly before the auction ends.   If still available. it will also be featured and can be seen at the 43rd Annual Tri State Swap Meet on February 8-9 located at the National Western Complex in Denver.

The Pictures are best I could get right now…We've been hampered a bit by the recent Colorado weather.   I will post more and better pictures when they become available.

Here is some correspondence I had with a fellow car enthusiast about the type of transmission in the Roadmaster:

Q. Hi. Is the air suspension still operating or has it been switched to steel springs? Also. the shift quadrant shows a "G" (grade retard) position which was not a driving position but was provided for slowing down and only came with "Flight Pitch" ("Triple Turbine"). which was not a standard Dynaflow. Is that what is still in there or has it been converted to a more conventional twin turbine Dynaflow as was the case with many of these?

A. watchfatha2qkr. The suspension has been converted. bu the compressor. air tank and air lines are still on the car. As far as the transmission is concerned. You may know more than I about that subject. I purchased the car as an 'all original" and am not aware of any changes made to the transmission.
Thanks for your interest.

Thanks. Charles. Very simple way to determine which tranny is in the car: If the car responds faster in "G" when pressing the gas pedal than in "D". it has been converted. If it barely moves in "G" and the engine revs up but does not hardly go anywhere (not supposed to drive in that position. just slow down in it). it is original.
Thanks. Norm

watchfatha2qkr. I keep learning new things every day!  If you hadn't explained it. I probably would never have figured it out.

The Roadmaster still has the special transmission. Previously. span >  I had never tried starting out in "G".   But when we just  tried it now. It acted just as you described. It would barely move.   Apparently. It has the Optional "Flight Pitch Dynaflow" ("Triple Turbine"). designed for slowing down.

Thanks for the Info.
