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 Gran Sport or GS badge was applied to several of the brand’s high-performance variants of models such as the Skylark, Riviera, Wildcat, Century, Apollo, and more. Since Buick was meant to be a luxury brand slotting in just beneath Cadillac in GM’s hierarchy, the Gran Sport badge represented the sportiest luxury car from GM, since Cadillac did not do sporting machines. Up for sale today is a fully restored 1969 Buick Gran Sport 350 with a total 77,364 miles on the clock and only 500 miles reported since its comprehensive makeover. The car also comes with some interesting updates, making it easier and more pleasurable to drive.

Cars from 1950 are getting rarer. During that time, automakers went above and beyond to produce works of art on wheels. Classic car enthusiasts know well enough that these icons are worth preserving, but there is a cost, namely convenience. That's when the topic of restoration comes up. Users can add modern amenities that make everyday life with the car more comfortable while still enjoying the nostalgia of the bygone era. This 1950 Buick Super is an excellent example of a classic that has been tastefully restored. According to reports, it has only been 2,000 miles since its full restoration.
The first generation Ford Mustang was a smooth cruiser when it had an in-line six-cylinder engine under the hood. Frugal yet fun motoring was possible in this pioneering pony car. Yet, when equipped with the larger V8 engines, the Mustang turned into a true thoroughbred of the racetrack or drag strip. Cars such as this 1967 Ford Mustang GTA offered thrilling acceleration and a stirring V8 soundtrack, paired with the relative ease of an automatic transmission. The engine’s massive power and torque figures meant that even with the slushbox, performance was impressive. This particular car has covered 51,000 miles, comes with the GTA Package and is up for sale in Bownstown Township, Michigan. You’d better act fast to grab it.
Imperial is a brand that many people today won’t remember, or know about at all. So let us give you a quick history lesson. In 1926, Chrysler Corporation started using the Imperial tag to denote the top-tier trim level of their finest automobiles. This remained the status quo until 1955, when Imperial was spun off as a separate brand under the Chrysler Corporation. It represented the brand’s luxury offerings, and gave us cars like this 1966 Imperial Crown Classic. This car is a second-generation example with 51,000 miles on the clock and it currently resides in Naples, Florida. Why not buy it as a tasteful classic car as well as a smart future investment?
A first-generation Chevy Corvette is a fantastic car to own and drive. It’s a piece of American automotive history, after all. Produced between 1953 and 1962, over 69,000 were made. It was also the only Corvette era to come with a six-cylinder engine choice, something that Chevy quickly realized didn’t suit a flagship sports car. Thankfully, all Corvettes thereafter have packed a V8. Many people nowadays want an original first-gen Corvette, but there are some who love restomods. If that sounds familiar, have we got the car for you! Say Howdy to this Pennsylvania-based 1960 Chevrolet Corvette LS3 Restomod that’s got just 1,000 miles after its comprehensive makeover. There’s a lot to learn about this car, so let us give you the highlights, but don’t forget to shoot us a DM or give us an old-fashioned phone call if you’re interested.
