This 1993 Buick Roadmaster represents the end of an era, and for fans of that traditional body-on-frame feel, there’s still nothing else like it.
40,669 original miles. Beautiful color combination. Runs and drives like it should. Very clean throughout, loaded with options. Spectacular well-preserved leather interior. Newer tires. The last of the true rear-wheel-drive luxury sedans!
America will never build a car like the Roadmaster again, and that’s a shame. There’s simply nothing built today that feels like a vintage American luxury car. This 1993 Buick Roadmaster represents the end of an era, and for fans of that traditional body-on-frame feel, there’s still nothing else like it. And I would argue that the Roadmaster was the best of the breed, combining modern tech with traditional construction to make a truly special car. Finished in Dark Cherry Metallic, it has an elegant look that was entirely the point of the Roadmaster. The sheetmetal is quite straight and clean and it’s obvious with a look underneath that this car has not suffered through a lot of winter weather. The doors still swing shut like the proverbial bank vault and for a 1990s GM product, quality control was excellent. The Buick was a little more conservative than its Impala sibling, but the look is a good one, combining traditional styling cues like a stand-up hood ornament with a few rounded edges that acknowledge that aerodynamics is a real thing. There’s just enough chrome to make it look upscale and a two-tone pinstripe sets just the right tone. For a big car, the styling does a good job of making it look trim and well-proportioned.
The sumptuous leather interior is unlike anything you can buy today, with wide couches instead of tight bucket seats and deep carpets that are hushed like a library. The wide instrument panel includes a rather complete set of gauges, including a tachometer (in a Buick!), with secondary controls just where you’d expect them to be, not buried in some touch screen menu. The steering wheel is big and wrapped in leather, and just about everything was standard equipment including automatic climate control, power windows, locks, seats, and mirrors, cruise control, a tilt steering column, and a decent-sounding Delco AM/FM/cassette stereo system. The seats are in excellent condition and the carpets have been protected from day one with heavy-duty rubber mats, so they’re in great shape, too. There’s expansive stretch-out room front and rear, making this a great car for long highway trips with a group—nobody will complain about the accommodations. And, of course, there’s a massive trunk that includes a spare tire and jack assembly.
Power comes from a variation of the familiar small-block V8. It’s impeccably smooth on the road and makes very muted V8 sounds that are exactly right for a luxurious Buick. The engine bay is quite tidy and remains 100% stock right down to the air filter assembly, and there are no signs of hack workmanship or previous accident damage. Thanks to modern fuel injection, it starts quickly and idles smooth, hot or cold, and even for a big cruiser like this, fuel economy is more than acceptable, not terrible. Part of that is due to the 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission, whose overdrive gear works with towering 2.56 gears out back to make this a superlative highway cruiser. It just loafs along at 75 MPH in eerie silence. Body-on-frame construction gives you that feeling of isolation inside, and you can see that this car has never really been out in the elements, as the floors are spotless and only surface scale on the heavy metal parts reveals that it’s now 30 years old. Even the exhaust system appears original. Factory alloy wheels are unmarked and carry correct 235/70/15 whitewall radials that look fairly recent and have plenty of life left in them.
Documentation is extensive, including the original window sticker, manuals, brochures, invoices, and receipts. It also carries a 2024 AACA National First Prize award badge.
