As the slogan goes, “When better cars are built, Buick will build them.” By 1941 there is no question that Buick had achieved its stature as one of America's finest. A record-breaking 377,428 Buicks were sold during the 1941 model year. A TIME magazine report dated May 21, 1941 rated all American cars, with four of the five fastest being Buicks. Notably, the Roadmaster placed first among them with a top speed exceeding 100-mph with its standard 320-cubic inch straight-eight engine equipped with dual carburetion producing 165-hp.

The 1941 'Big Buicks' are considered by many collectors as the pinnacle year for style and performance. This is readily seen in the long, low lines with a swept-down rear deck. An attractive grille and numerous bright trim elements also add to the visual presentation. The fender skirts also exhibit distinctive trim spars. Wide whitewall tires are on factory steel wheels with the appropriate caps.

The Roadmaster Convertible offered here has been part of its owner’s collection longer than almost any other car – since 1975. Presented in good driver-quality condition, it would be an elegant choice for local touring.
