Beautiful yellow paint, wonderful chrome and stainless on this car!

Restored and beautiful. I love the Buick Grille for ’48. Note it says “Roadmaster” on the centerpiece of the bumperguard

Another view that highlites the bomb-sight hood ornament and the lovely Buick Crest emblem
.
Bodywork super straight and nice.
.
Lovely – note the bullet reflectors on the rear fenders – a great piece of Buick postwar styling!
.
Beautiful driving compartment – Chrome and instruments look like new, they work properly, and it’s a visual treat to sit behind the wheel. I did note a hairline crack on the steering wheel, visible in this photo.
.
Excellent leather interior – full leather, not vinyl. Done in a moderate grain leather appropriate for the car. There are some flex marks where the driver sits, which you can see in this photo. The leather is still smooth, soft and nice throughout.

Lovely Leather in back, too, complemented by thick wool carpeting.
.
The rear seat lap robe straps are present and nice.

I love that steering wheel emblem “Roadmaster Dynaflow” !

Nice Clean and Correct engine bay.

Note how nicely it’s finished under the hood, too!

the car was completely re-wired with a correct cloth-backed harness when it was restored.

Super clean and correct!

320 Cubic inches, and 150 Horsepower was a luxurious and powerful combination in 1948 !
.
I love the bomb-sight hood ornament!
.
And the windshield-mounted radio antenna. Note the bakelight support to keep the antenna from moving around while stowed.
.
.
This car has been shown extensively back to 1978. These are a few of the events it has attended.
.
Here is a photo board that shows the restoration progression. The restoration was done by the early 1980’s.

THERE IS NO COOLING OFF PERIOD UNLESS YOU OBTAIN A CONTRACT CANCELLATION OPTION. California law does not provide for a “cooling off” period for vehicle lease or purchase contracts. Therefore, you cannot later cancel such a contract simply because you change your mind, decide the vehicle costs too much, or wish you had acquired a different vehicle. After you sign a motor vehicle purchase or lease contract, it may only be cancelled with the agreement of the seller or lessor or for legal cause, such as fraud. However, California law does require the seller to offer a 2 day contract cancellation option on used vehicles with a purchase price of less than $40,000, subject to certain statutory conditions. See the vehicle contract cancellation option agreement for details.
