Arguably the most famous Buick nameplate of all time, the Roadmaster name can be traced back to 1931. Representing Buick's flagship between 1946 and 1957, this particular 1947 Buick Roadmaster Convertible is a fine example of what well-heeled buyers at the time were treated to. This car is a fine time capsule with most of its original fittings, including some interesting factory features. If you buy it, you'll be buying not only a fantastic classic car but also a great investment and slice of American automotive history.
This 1947 Buick Roadmaster Convertible is draped in a lovely yellow paint job, which showcases the bright hues that automakers adopted after the blacks of the Wartime era. The car looks to be well-cared, for example, sporting a brown convertible top and rolling on whitewall tires with red-striped hubcaps. At the front, you'll note the signature chrome grille, plus yellow fog lamps. Venturing aboard the four-seat interior of this 1947 Buick Roadmaster Convertible is like a trip back to 1947 – almost. The only modern amenity we spot is a new Kenwood CD player with Bluetooth, USB, and AUX connectivity choices. Everything else is period, from the original push-button radio in the dash to the nostalgic vintage gauge cluster and three-on-the-tree gear shifter. The current owner tells us that the seats are new. Furthermore, there's no heating or air conditioning as these weren't very prevalent in the late Forties. Of course, you could explore options from companies such as Vintage Air if you need these modern creature comforts.
The powerplant motivating this 1947 Buick Roadmaster Convertible is the sturdy Fireball Straight 8, which displaces 320ci. The current owner informs us that the engine sports dual carburetors from the factory, as well as a factory-fitted dual exhaust system. That means you should hear quite a bit of iconic 8 cylinder rumble and grumble as you motor along, shifting the 3-speed manual transmission via its steering column-mounted shifter. Another useful piece of trivia is that the engine and transmission are said to be original! Meanwhile, braking is provided by drums on all four wheels, so you've got ample stopping power, but you'll want to be a bit careful nonetheless - there's no ABS.

Buick's Roadmaster nameplate has etched a place in automotive history, making sporadic appearances over the decades. The 1956 Buick Roadmaster Model 73 Riviera Hardtop, a testament to the brand's legacy, has stood the test of time, showcasing the allure of classic American automobiles. First introduced in 1931, this flagship model, hailing from a time when Buick was synonymous with excellence, exudes timeless elegance and style. Imagine the pride of its first owner, acquiring a top-shelf Buick fresh from the showroom floor. This meticulously preserved 1956 model has traveled a mere 51,650 miles, meticulously cared for by its current owner.
The Buick Regal is one of those nameplates from the Seventies that you can still buy today, albeit not in North America, but China! Introduced in 1973, just as the Malaise Era was taking hold, the Regal has always been the premium midsize offering from this storied American automaker. Regals have been made in coupe, sedan and station wagon forms, and come with some hot variants too. North American Regal sales ceased in 2020, as Buick wanted to refocus its attention towards solely selling SUVS in North America. Today, we have a second-generation 1986 Buick Regal T-Type Turbo for sale from Downey, California. This was considered quite a hot car in its time, due to its punchy 3.8-liter turbo V6 and performance-tuned suspension. This 44,107-mile car also comes with an upgraded intercooler set-up for a bit more bite.
The 1938 Buick Special Series 40 Sedan captures the elegance and innovation of pre-war American motoring, blending Buick’s hallmark smoothness with stylish Art Deco design. Offered from Nevada, Missouri, this example remains highly original, powered by its 248ci inline-eight paired to a 3-speed manual transmission. With 72,366 miles, it stands as both a collectible pre-war classic and a usable vintage sedan that showcases Buick’s engineering achievements of the era.
By 1965, the Buick Riviera had firmly established itself as one of the most striking American personal luxury coupes of its time. Combining Bill Mitchell’s sharp styling with Buick’s refined powertrains, the Riviera delivered both presence and performance in equal measure. This example, a 1965 model, carries the legendary 401 cubic-inch “Nailhead” V8 paired to a smooth-shifting ST-400 3-speed automatic transmission. Showing 20,446 miles on the odometer, it has been repainted in an eye-catching orange finish and fitted with aftermarket wheels, setting it apart while still honoring the car’s bold original character.
With its roots in 1885, the Triumph Motor Company of Great Britain is one of the country’s most well-known sports car makers. They’re known for a fine line-up of TR models which are sports cars, typically open-topped ones called Roadsters. Sadly, Triumph went bust in 1984, but the assets are currently owned by BMW. While the Bavarian automaker shows no plans to resurrect the brand, much of their historic production still remains alive. This 1971 Triumph TR6 is one such example and it’s for sale in Greenville, South Carolina. With its 2.5-liter straight six, convertible top cover and original owner’s manual, this is a fine catch for someone who wishes to sample the British Roadster lifestyle. And let us tell you, it’s quite an addictive driving experience!
If you want a German classic car with some modern conveniences, a V8 under the hood and a fine legacy, you can’t go amiss by choosing a Mercedes-Benz SL from the R107 era. Over 300,000 were made between 1971 and 1989, of which two thirds came to North America. The R107 redefined the term boulevard cruiser, with its performance, luxury interior and driving manners over long distances. If that sounds like your cup of tea, we have this 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL for sale right now. It’s from Scottsdale, Arizona, and has covered just over 71,000 miles so far. It’s also got a smooth M177 5.6-liter V8 under the hood.
Now here’s a legend of the muscle car scene, the fearsome Oldsmobile 442. Made between 1964 and 1980 as a proper performance machine, it was well-known for decimating nearly all comers at the drag strip. The 442 was potent out of the box, but it could also be tuned with near unlimited scope. Today, those who seek a 442 do so not only for its performative capabilities but its style as well. That’s why we are proud to offer this Torrance-based second-generation 1969 Oldsmobile 442 for sale. With under 107,000 miles, it’s definitely been enjoyed but has so much more to give. Of course when you’ve got a 400ci V8 under the hood and a stick shift to control it with, you don’t want to end journeys too quickly…
