Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon

The Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon combined utility with unmistakable luxury during the height of 1950s American prosperity. Its 322 cubic inch Nailhead V8 provided effortless power for hauling families and cargo in comfort. The distinctive wood-grained side panels, though actually DI-NOC vinyl over steel, evoked the classic woodies of earlier eras. As Buick's flagship wagon, it offered power windows, power seats, and air conditioning options that made it the choice of affluent suburban families.
