This car would make an awesome Decepticon.

It's a really beautiful picture of a beautiful car.

This thing is brilliant! An obsession with Stephen King doesn't help the Americanaphilia at the moment. I love the slightly Stepford-y washed out, darkened colour scheme and the overwhelming hulk of the figure...

'58 Buicks have more bright-work than ANY production car before or since... most chrome & stainless steel ever!

I love '59s as their clean-sheet design is equaly timeless but even more unique due to the canted tail fins & headlights.

1950s GM classics = <3

your information is correct!
"The Roadmaster named first appeared on Buick automobiles in 1936 as a celebration of their engineering improvements and advancements in design. The Buick Series 80 became known as the Roadmaster. The Roadmasters were built on the longest wheelbase Buick had to offer. From 1946 through 1957 they were the most elegant and prestigious automobiles that Buick sold.

From 1936 through 1948 the Roadmaster appeared in coupe, sedan, convertible and station wagon bodystyles. A hardtop coupe was added in 1949 and dubbed the Riviera.

The Roadmaster named reappeared in 1991 and continued in production until 1996. It served as a replacement for the Electra model line and offered as an Estate Wagon. A sedan was introduced in 1992.

The end of the 1953 Buick Roadmaster station wagon meant the end of the last wood-bodied station wagon to be mass-produced in the United States. In 1996, the end of the Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon meant the end of the full-size family station wagons."

That is what I call portliness.
The colors helped to put still more aggressive the front of the car.
