This 1941 Buick Roadmaster Custom was purchased as a rust-free coupe and the owner had it chopped 5.5- inches by the renowned customizer named Ramsey, who is best known for doing the work on Terry Cook’s award-winning Lincoln-Zephyr “Scrape.” This exciting convertible coupe was completed over a three year period.

Remarkably, for the driveline, a 1961 Chrysler 300G engine and transmission was utilized. This consists of the highly-respected 413-cid, 375-hp Cross Ram induction V-8 engine mated to a corresponding TorqueFlite automatic transmission. The engine and transmission have been completely rebuilt and the pushbutton feature still operates the transmission gear selection.

This striking Buick custom has a removable Carson top. The body was stripped of all paint and de-chromed. The skirted back fenders are leaded in. The paint is new, as is the custom interior and all components. The owner even had the Chrysler dash installed with the pushbutton drive and the Astra-Dome instrument pod. The Roadmaster suspension was kept, as were the drum brakes. The Buick has been equipped with air conditioning, power windows, power steering, plus automatic hood and trunk lifters.

It is stated to be a wonderful road car with breathtaking performance and has been seen in a few advertisements. While it has not been exhibited in a show setting on many occasions, when it has been, it usually results in a first place or best of show.
