1992 Buick Roadmaster Limited 4 Door Sedan
The Roadmaster name was used by Buick three times over 60 years with and there was a 30 year hiatus before it was reintroduced for the 1991 model year, giving legitimacy to the name as it was Buick's largest vehicle on the road during the era from '91 to '96 and marked a return of the rear wheel drive platform for a sedan since 1985.
For consignment, a 2 owner 1992 Buick Roadmaster Limited sedan with a mere 20,741 title verified actual miles on the odometer and remaining very original with the exception of wear items and a new fuel pump. Built in Texas by Texans, this garage kept beauty is ready to master the road under new ownership!
Exterior
If you're going to have a car that's about the size of a limousine, you might want to continue the classy looks by dipping it in the deep end of the pool factory applied silver paint. This car is decked out in Silver Metallic lacquer paint with bold silver and chrome body trim that encircles the car and utilizes the robust bumpers to complete the loop. A twin pinstripe on the shoulder line further helps to break up the billboard white panels that make up this enormous car. A wide face with integrated headlights and a gaping grille fronts a big hood and out back, the large trunk lid cascades onto tail lights that span the six foot width of the car, leaving a gap for the license plate. In profile, the big windows give way to a long flat steel roof that is highlighted by C-pillar Roadmaster emblems within horizontal opera lights. There are no fender skirts on the car, but the rear wheel openings cover the top part of the tires which ride on chrome wire spoke 15-inch wheel covers. The tires are 225/70R15's. Imperfections include a few scuffs on the front bumper.
Interior
A combination of gray material including plastic, vinyl, and carpet covers the door panels with the front doors being particularly long. The gray is accented with faux burlwood trim on the upper panel that contains door actuator, handle, lock buttons and mirror controls. All four doors and their mixed hues of gray all look clean and intact. Large gray cloth bucket seats occupy the front with stitched and pillow top tufted detail and power controls on the driver's seat. The driver's seat shows little to no wear while a large armrest/storage bin resides in the middle. There is a center armrest for the backseat occupants too, who will enjoy a generous bench seat with head restraints, all in gray cloth. A simple gray steering wheel holds an airbag in the center and leads to a rectangular framed gauge cluster with round gauges on a black background. An AM/FM/Cassette radio is housed in the center panel of faux burlwood while the digital climate control panel is just below. The padded dash top is crack free and the wide floor has gray low pile carpet and carpeted mats on top. The large truck is lined in gray cloth which also covers the spare, and a cargo net is strewn side to side for smaller items you don't want to roll around in this ice rink sized compartment.
Drivetrain
Under the hood, a presentable driver quality 5.7 liter L05 V8 resides on the frame, putting out 210 horsepower, is fuel injected and backed by a 4L60E 4-speed automatic transmission which sends power to the rear wheels where it finds a 10 bolt differential with 3.08 limited slip gears. Power brakes are onboard with discs in front and drums in the rear. Our consignor notes that a new fuel pump was recently installed to keep things reliable.
Undercarriage
The underside is driver quality with surface rust on the usual suspects, but is devoid of any leaks or otherwise misplaced fluids. The single exhaust snakes its way back to the OEM muffler and resonator, then exits out back. Suspension consists of coil springs up front and a 4 link with coil springs out back.
Drive-Ability
After chatting it up with the fellas at the yacht club, we set sail for the test loop, navigating our garage bay, and steering the bow towards open waters, or at least vehicle free tarmac. As expected, it's a bit like riding on a cloud with a softness once reserved for Cadillac and Lincoln. Use those big windows to mind your size and you make turns, and we do so with adequate power, straight tracking, and good braking. All functional items work as they should. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.
The Roadmaster was the flagship car for Buick at a time, then cars would shrink exponentially in coming years, this car represents a moment in time, and still delivers comfort and analog operation that's easy to maintain. Its wheelbase might be a few inches short of true limousines, but backseat occupants are going to feel opulent in the cavernous cabin of this big, Silver Metallic Roadmaster.
