PRIVATE COLLECTION

This is a 1993 Buick RoadMaster Estate Wagon One-of-a-Kind Art Car

with a Unique Custom Hand-Painted Flame Theme with Matching Seat Covers, Floor Mats and Steering Wheel Cover,

Panther Chrome Mags mounted with Hi-Performance Low-Profile Nearly New Tires

and an INCREDIBLE Soundesign Custom-Installed Audio/Visual AM/FM/DVD system

The car has always been maintained to the strictest standards and is completely RUST-FREE and mechanically perfect...

I personally drove it from Montreal,Quebec to Chicago,Illinois, picking up the iconic Route 66

and enjoyed following that road across America all the way to Los Angeles,California before returning back to Montreal...

(Yes, thanks to the overdrive transmission,it really gets 25mpg!)

and it performed flawlessly with the most fun anyone can have with a car...

There's well over $30K invested in this beauty but since the son for whom it was built

was not allowed by his mom to have it, so some other lucky individual can get the bargain of a lifetime...

Full Review from The Auto Channel's Bill Russ

This years Buick's Roadmaster Estate Wagon has the distinction of being one of the largest and most powerful V8-powered station wagons in the world. It harks back to an earlier era when almost all American-built vehicles featured the body-on-frame, front-engine, rear drive design. In 1991, after hiatus of over 20 years, the Roadmaster Estate Wagon, now redesigned and brought up-to-date. again became a prominent member of the Buick automotive lineup. Even though it no longer wears its old badge of distinction, four portholes on its front fenders, it has returned to the Buick stable as an up-to-date reincarnation of the automotive glories of the forties and fifties.

Up until recently the ubiquitous van appeared to be the vehicle of choice for many American families, and in the past decade many new models made the automotive scene. However, in the last couple of years several new station wagon models have debated, an now almost every major car maker has one to offer as an alternative choice to the van.

While the Buick Estate Wagon has been in showrooms and on the street for two years, many significant alterations have been incorporated into the 1993 model . This big versatile wagon can fairly comfortably seat nine passengers. It now rides smoother and quieter and offers good performance, reasonable fuel economy plus many creature comforts.

Over 400 miles of metropolitan, suburban, country and mountain driving left these impressions.

Appearance

From its waterfall grille to its dual purpose tailgate/rear door everything about the Roadmaster Estate wagon is big. It is long, wide and well-rounded, with a huge cabin with many large tinted windows, including the overhead Vista Roof. The wagon theme is emphasized by the vinyl wood trim all along the sides highlighted by a black rub strip, and a built-in highly adjustable roof rack. White-striped General Ameritec ST all-season tires are mounted on shiny cast alloy wheels.

Comfort

Our test wagon came sumptuously equipped with practically every convenience item in Buick's parts warehouse. It fit the classic definition of "loaded". In 90 degree plus weather with a full load the climate control worked wonderfully and kept the large cabin at a comfortable temperature. The Delco AM/FM/CD unit is easy to set and tune, and has excellent reception. The instrument panel includes a full complement of analog gauges, while all the power accessories, including remote keyless entry are installed. The versatile seating arrangements enable this wagon to seat up to nine persons, or, with both sets of rear seats folded down, to be a flat floor cargo hauler. There's a good deal of secure inside storage space, plus cup and coin holders. Buick's newly redesigned seats are a great improvement over earlier models make all-day driving a treat.

Roadability

Ride and handling capabilities of the Roadmaster Estate Wagon have quite noticeably improved. Buick's heavy duty suspension mounted on the ladder frame provides much better stability as well as greatly diminished oscillation - in other words as it wends its way down the highway, it doesn't "wallow" any more, and body lean on turns is much milder. The power steering is responsive, the anti-lock brakes provide straight stopping, the limited slip differential provides positive t traction on slippery road conditions. With the optional trailer towing package, which includes additional cooling and an automatic load leveling system, it is possible to safely tow up to 5000 pounds, plus a full load in the wagon. Vision is excellent in all directions, and wind noise is minimal.

Performance

This year's Roadmaster is powered by General Motor's throttle-body fuel injected, 5.7 liter, overhead valve, pushrod, V8 engine that generates 180 horsepower and an impressive 300 foot pounds of torque. This combination allows the Estate Wagon to haul heavy loads down the road or up the grade with excellent pulling power right from the start. Its four-speed Hydra-matic transmission shifts fairly smoothly and provides compression in lower gears for convenience when descending long and/or fairly steep grades. This powertrain combo is right for this vehicle.

Conclusions

To paraphrase Mark Twain, "The demise of the large, V8 powered, front engine, rear drive, body on frame, vehicle has been grossly exaggerated". The Estate Wagon is a proof that a Roadmaster does not have to be a "road monster", but, rather, a powerful, luxurious, well equipped, and most of all, a quite versatile means of transportation for both people and things.

PRICE AS TESTED: $ 28,347 completely equipped.

GM will recall more than 3.3 million vehicles in China for suspension defect

Sat, Sep 29 2018

BEIJING (Reuters) - General Motors' joint venture in China, Shanghai GM, will recall more than 3.3 million Buick, Chevrolet and Cadillac vehicles stating Oct. 20 because of a defect with the suspension system, China's market regulator said on Saturday. GM Shanghai said in a text message to Reuters that the suspension arm may be deformed under extreme operating conditions, but there are no known casualties related to the issue. The recall includes cars produced between 2013 and 2018, the State Administration for Market Regulation said in a statement. GM will contact those affected and repair the vehicles free of charge, it said.

Buick Electra-L, Electra-LT concepts lead the Wildcat to production

Fri, Apr 26 2024

Buick loves the Beijing Motor Show, and why shouldn't it? Working with its local partner, SAIC, the brand seems to saves up so much mojo for April in Asia and shows up with stunning designs. Here are another two takes on the brand's latest sheet metal philosophy, penned by the SAIC-GM Pan Asia Technical Automotive Center and riding on GM's Ulitum platform, the Electra-L sedan and Electra-LT wagon concepts. The Electra-L could be seen as a production version of the Wildcat EV concept from 2022 (not the Wildcat from 1985) that launched Buick's new design language. All the major forms and curves are there, so too the turbine-style wheels, but the fastback roof's been stretched to create adequate headroom for a quartet. The edges of the front fascia have been redrawn to be less aggressive and form a canvas for illuminated ornamentation. The four-door stretches 198.3 inches long on a 118.1-inch wheelbase, meaning less than an inch difference in both dimensions between the Buick and the new BMW i5. Power comes from a single motor on the rear axle making 342 horsepower. A battery of unknown capacity is claimed to be good for a 435-mile range under China's CLTC test loop. The light-sensing glass roof hovers over a rectilinear instrument panel with a floating main display and a retractable 7-inch screen for the front passenger, four pressure-sensitive "zero-gravity" seats wrapped in an eco-friendly fabric, and rear quarters with a small inductive cooktop for enjoying tea in the custom tea set. SAIC and Buick had less to say about the Electra-LT. Looking like the Allroad version of the Electra-L, it's got fender extensions framing the "titanium metal armor" wheel design, an air suspension that can lift the body by 1.6 inches, and that roof box to broadcast its light adventure credentials. Fitted with the same basic interior layout as the sedan, the wagon might add a third row; the description says its "eConnect smart cabin system supports 7-screen interaction." We're not sure if something got left out of the powertrain description, though, as the Electra-LT said to be powered by a 342-hp motor on the rear axle while also possessing "independent four-wheel drive." Two years ago, Buick said it would introduce five all-new EVs in China by 2025. The sedan is rumored to be headed to the Chinese market next year, a production version perhaps ready by the time of the 2025 Auto Shanghai.

GM's labor deal with UAW union on verge of ratification

Thu, Nov 16 2023

Nov 15 (Reuters) - General Motors' tentative labor deal with the United Auto Workers (UAW) union closed in on ratification as the votes were counted on Wednesday. Following the approval earlier in the day by more than 60% of union members at the Detroit automaker's large Arlington, Texas, assembly plant, additional votes in favor have the deal close to clinching majority approval. The number of union locals, most of which are smaller, still to report vote totals is not large. After several large assembly plants voted against the deal earlier on Wednesday, some media had reported the deal was heading toward failure. But Arlington's support, followed by strong voting in favor by smaller warehouse and parts facilities, has put the deal on the brink of approval. This would mark the first ratification of a deal, which runs through April 2028, with one of the Detroit Three automakers. Ford and Stellantis voting is still under way, and workers at both companies were favoring ratification by comfortable margins. The UAW's GM vote tracking site currently shows approval of the contract leading by a 54% to 46% margin with almost 32,000 workers having cast votes out of about 46,000 UAW-represented GM workers. The Arlington plant, with about 5,000 UAW members, has the most of any GM plant. Voting officially ends on Thursday at 4 p.m. EST, although most votes will be cast on Wednesday. The UAW went on strike for more than six weeks against the Detroit Three, seeking better wages, working conditions and cost-of-living adjustments. All three companies agreed to tentative agreements about two weeks ago. Workers at other GM assembly plants voted against the deal, including 60% of workers at its Fort Wayne, Indiana, truck plant, 53% at its Wentzville, Missouri, plant, 58% of workers at GM's Lansing Grand River plant and 61% of workers at the Lansing Delta Township plant. Seven of GM's 11 assembly plants rejected the deal. In addition to Arlington, workers at plants in Detroit, Fairfax, Kansas; and Lake Orion, Michigan; approved the agreement. Only nine facilities are still listed without vote totals on the UAW vote tracker, including GM's Lockport, New York, components plant with about 1,200 members. Those voting in favor of the agreement have a lead of almost 2,500 and many of the facilities still to come include workers who stand to receive large pay increases upon ratification.
