Vehicle description
Mechanically rebuilt engine, suspension and drivetrain by owner prior to the current consigner, this Roadmaster is eye candy and a driver"s heaven. To feel the car go through the gears effortlessly, you can hardly believe this car is from 1941. Enveloped in leather, top down, and a Fireball inline 8 pulling you along
The big news, however, for 1941 was Compound Carburetion, the forerunner to the four-barrel carburetor and also to the multi-carb setups so loved by the manufacturers following World War II. Optional on Specials and standard on all other models, a pair of carburetors extracted more power from Buick"s 320ci “Fireball” straight eight—good enough for 165 horsepower on Roadmasters. This made Buicks the highest-powered standard production cars in America, with 15 horsepower more than the engine used in that year"s Cadillac!
Style-wise, the 1941 Buicks were quite different from their predecessors. Exposed running boards and door hinges, as well as fender-mounted spare tires, were a thing of the past for 1941. New fender lines provided a much sleeker look, and headlights were completely enclosed in the fenders for the first time. Consigner states that this car was repainted in 2016 prior to the previous owner bought the car. Draped in beautiful black, panels are straight, and the car is in very nice condition relating to the steel exterior. Full rear wheel-skirts accent the sleek lines of the rear fenders. Wide whitewall tires are mounted on red rims, further highlighting the dynamic color scheme. A canvas convertible top, electrically actuated, is pristine. Chrome is like new, and badging is good condition.
Red leather adorns all door panel, and seats. It is showing a slight wear, but no large or small creases or cracks are noted. Perfect red carpet is flooding the floor and provides a very comfortable surface even if you want to ride barefoot! The original dash with machined spin pattern machining, houses the glovebox and the instruments. A large Art Deco designed radio speaker highly chromed sits in the center gleams loudly. The original steering wheel, a banjo style, fronts the dash. An additional item is the felt lined trunk which presents as nice as the interior.
