ġ933 was the first year all GM vehicles were installed with optional vent windows which were initially called “No Draft Individually Controlled Ventilation” later renamed "Ventiplanes" which the patent application was filed on Nov. In 1933, the aesthetics of all Buicks were updated with a new, corporate "streamlined" appearance shared with all GM cars for that year due to GM's Art and Color Studio headed by Harley Earl. The next year a new high-performance engine was introduced developing 113 hp (84 kW 115 PS). It was a new approach for Buick offering a top-level luxury sedan with an eight-cylinder engine which became expected from luxury brands, similar to the Oldsmobile L-Series on the GM C platform. The Series 80, which belonged to an upper category trim package and shared with the Series 90, was the first Buick to offer the 344.8 cu in (5,650 cc) OHV Buick Straight-8 engine developing 104 hp (78 kW 105 PS) at 2800 rpm. It was also larger both in wheelbase (2 in (51 mm)) and overall length (6 in (152 mm)) than the K-body Cadillac DeVille.įlint Wagon Works, Flint, Michigan, United States ģ20.2 cu in (5.2 L) Buick Straight-8 engine OHV I8ģ44.8 cu in (5.7 L) Buick Straight-8 engine OHV I8 It was 10 in (254 mm) longer with a 5 in (127 mm) greater wheelbase than the C-body Buick Park Avenue. The Roadmaster sedan, a C-body vehicle over its eight previous generations, shared the B-body for the first time in its history. When it was resurrected for the 1991 through 1996 model years, it became the marque's largest vehicle. Between 19 the Roadmaster served as Buick's flagship. Roadmasters produced between 19 were built on Buick's longest non-limousine wheelbase and shared their basic structure with the entry-level Cadillac Series 65, the Buick Limited, and after 1940, the Oldsmobile 98. Similarly, the "72R" model number designation may not have been utilized until 1951.The Buick Roadmaster is an automobile that was built by Buick from 1936 until 1942, from 1946 until 1958, and then again from 1991 until 1996. The "Riviera Sedan" name for this style may not have been used until later, or perhaps not until 1951. (Note: The advertisement refers to the car as the "Roadmaster 130", a reference to its long 130-inch wheelbase.
The car in the upper left-hand corner was the regular model 71 Tour Back sedan the largest image shows the long wheelbase model 72 Riviera Sedan with the extra side window behind the rear door. This ad shows the initial side trim configurations on the 1950 Roadmasters. It is my understanding that the sweepspear was added later during the model year to the 72 Riviera Sedan and the model 79 Roadmaster Estate Wagon.
These would be somewhat later production cars, I believe, because they carry the sweepspear side trim that was limited initially in 1950 to the 75R or 76R Roadmaster Riviera 2-door hardtop and 76C Roadmaster convertible. While not familiar with the ads or where these cars were listed, I will confirm that these cars are both model 72 Roadmaster Riviera Sedans. michaelmis, or anyone, do you have any idea from where they came? Perhaps that is a Riviera Sedan of which there may not be many. Other than the photobucket, which has no info on the seller or price, I cannot track them down.
I checked the usual areas and they must have been removed or sold. In the meantime, I am trying to figure out where these cars you posted in #10 were being sold.

That attack of conscience foiled the opportunity, with Pavlick's arrest by the Secret Service coming three days later after he was stopped for a driving violation, with the dynamite still in his car. Pavlick's plan was to serve as a suicide bomber by crashing his dynamite-laden 1950 Buick into Kennedy's vehicle, but the plan was disrupted when Pavlick saw Kennedy's wife and daughter bidding him goodbye. Kennedy's life was threatened by Richard Paul Pavlick, a 73-year-old former postal worker. December 11, 1960: While vacationing in Palm Beach, Florida, President-elect John F.
