Many pivotal factors contributed to Buick’s success in the late 1930s and early 1940s. An expanding model line, starting with the Special that was priced only $200 more than comparable Chevrolets, put Buick quality, prestige and an eight-cylinder engine within reach of a broader market. Additionally, the 1941 Buick models featured clean, modern styling to complement their solid engineering.

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. Despite over 3,000 Buick dealers nationwide, only 2,784 Roadmaster Coupes were produced. 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. There are very few Roadmaster Coupe survivors, with the Buick Registry listing only 13 known examples (as of 2008).

This particular Roadmaster Coupe has benefitted from a comprehensive, body-off restoration by noted Buick specialist Doug Seybold of Westlake, Ohio to national show-quality standards, earning it an AACA Senior First Award in 2006. Extremely handsome in its elegant gunmetal grey with its striking red leather interior and accents, attention is directed to its stunning faux wood-grain dashboard featuring engine-turned metal inserts. The radio is fully restored and discreetly modernized with AM/FM capability. Fog lamps enhance its impressive frontal appearance, while a high-speed differential provides a highly satisfying driving experience on today's roads.

Impressive when new and outstanding today, this Roadmaster is a wonderful example. Professionally restored to the highest standards, it will certainly complement any collection of fine American automobiles
