Today, whilst General Motors is considered a powerhouse company with a myriad of brands under its umbrella, and a pioneer in American automotive manufacturing, the brand that helped GM become just that is Buick. Buick, started by David Dunbar Buick was the company that established General Motors in 1908. For a long time, Buick was considered and marketed as a premium automobile brand, and it sat just below the luxurious Cadillac line. As of date Buick is America’s oldest car manufacturer, as well as being among the oldest in the world. When Buick released the Master Six Series 40 and Series 50 in the 1920s, it was a revolutionary vehicle with many world firsts. Our subject vehicle is a post-war 1922 Buick D-45 from Florida. It is reported to have undergone a full frame-off restoration fifteen years ago and is now up for grabs to a discerning and lucky owner who will appreciate its vintage and history.
Exterior and Interior
This 1922 Buick D-45 is regaled in a striking blue exterior which was repainted in 2005 and wears a complementing black interior. The vehicle sits on a set of OEM classic wood spoke and steel-rimmed wheels with white-walled tires completing the period look. The hubcaps are decorated with the classic Buick logo. The running boards and fenders are painted in black. The interior features a black vinyl front bench seat facing a three-part gauge cluster, and a black vinyl rear bench seat with generous legroom. The interior has been completely refitted, including the seats, door covers, flooring, and all the nickel-plated switches and gauges. For a car which is almost 100 years old, it is in excellent condition after the frame off restoration. The vehicle’s full canvas roof is in excellent condition too. The oversized 4-spoked wooden and steel steering wheel faces the driver, as do a trio of interestingly shaped pedals. All relevant badges and logos are in place, and polished to shine. A spare wheel is situated at the rear with the number plate in the middle and a functioning stop light.
Engine
This 1922 Buick D-45 is powered by a recently completely rebuilt Buick six-cylinder valve-in-head 242ci (4.0L) engine. Drive is transmitted to the rear wheels via a three-speed sliding-gear transmission that has also undergone a complete rebuild. Furthermore, the car has been subjected to recent maintenance in May 2021.

The 1999 Buick Riviera Silver Arrow Limited Edition marked the end of an era, serving as a commemorative send-off for the Riviera nameplate after decades as one of Buick’s most distinctive personal luxury coupes. This example is #27 of just 200 produced and shows only 28,978 miles. Finished in Sterling Silver Metallic over a Medium Gray leather interior, it pairs understated late-1990s luxury with the stronger personality of Buick’s supercharged 3800 Series II V6. Special Silver Arrow badging, interior logos, and its numbered plaque distinguish this car from a standard Riviera, while the low production count gives it genuine collector appeal.
The 1942 Buick Super 4-Door Touring Sedan comes from a brief and historically significant model year, with civilian automobile production soon giving way to wartime priorities. Showing approximately 78,842 miles, this example is powered by Buick’s 248ci “Fireball” inline-eight, bored .030-inch over, and paired with a 3-speed manual transmission. Finished in gray over a gray interior, it retains the formal proportions and unmistakable prewar character of Buick’s Super line while also benefiting from a refreshed front suspension. The current owner notes that the radio, heater, and temperature gauge are inoperable, and the car retains its original spare tire.
This 1957 Buick Roadmaster Riviera 2-Door Hardtop is pure late-1950s American excess in the best possible way, combining dramatic Harley Earl-era styling with the torque-rich character of Buick’s Nailhead V8. Showing approximately 14,574 miles, this example was refurbished in the late 2000s and is finished in Dover White and Bittersweet Red over a Rust and Ivory interior. The car was later upgraded with an Air Lift Performance air suspension system. Add in power steering, power brakes, power windows, a power front bench seat, Hot Rod Air climate control, and wide whitewalls, and this Roadmaster delivers the extravagant look of a flagship ’50s Buick with a few thoughtful upgrades that make it even more enjoyable today.
