The Buick Roadmaster is a distinguished automobile produced by Buick during various periods from 1936 to 1996. Initially introduced in 1936, the Roadmaster was built on Buick's longest wheelbase and shared structural elements with other prestigious models such as the Cadillac Series 65, Buick Limited, and later the Oldsmobile 98. Serving as Buick's flagship model from 1946 to 1957, the Roadmaster was known for its luxury and size.
Following a hiatus, the Roadmaster model was reintroduced for the 1991 to 1996 model years, reestablishing itself as Buick's largest vehicle during this period. Unlike its predecessors, the revived Roadmaster sedan was based on the B-body platform, marking a significant departure from its traditional C-body structure.
