Buick Roadmaster history
The Buick Roadmaster debuted in 1936 when Buick renamed their entire lineup. The Buick Series 80 became the Buick Roadmaster, thanks to its excellent on-road performance. Available in a variety of body styles over the years, including a wood-bodied estate wagon, hardtop coupe and four-door sedan, Buick Roadmaster cars were the American car brand’s top-of-the-line offering from 1946 to 1958. After a redesign in 1959, the Buick Roadmaster was renamed the Buick Electra, marking the end of an era. In the ’90s, Buick dusted off the Roadmaster name, introducing the Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon in 1991 and the Buick Roadmaster sedan in 1992. It was a short-lived revival as both models were discontinued in 1996 and the Roadmaster name shelved once more.
