Description

The 1940 Buick Roadmaster is a true classic, boasting a rich history and exceptional craftsmanship that has stood the test of time. This particular model, with its straight 8 engine, is a rare find in pristine condition, having been meticulously maintained as an all-original California car. Its impressive accolades include taking the honor of the Concours D'Elegance Winners Circle, a testament to its timeless elegance and superior quality.
One notable update to this Buick is the new upholstery for both the front and rear seats, adding a touch of modern comfort while preserving the vehicle's original charm. The transmission, a 3-speed column shift, is in excellent working condition, ensuring a smooth and seamless driving experience.
Under the hood, the Buick Roadmaster is powered by an inline 8-cylinder engine with a displacement of 5.2 liters (5247 cc/320.2 cubic inches). This powerhouse delivers an impressive torque of 269 ft-lbs at 2000 RPM, thanks to its cast iron cylinder block construction.
The Buick Roadmaster rides on a sturdy C-body platform with a 3-speed sliding shift manual transmission, offering precise control and handling on the road. With a wheelbase of 126.0 inches, a length of 214 inches, a width of 75.8 inches, and a height of 66.1 inches, this vehicle commands attention with its imposing presence.
Weighing in at 4,200-4,600 pounds, the Buick Roadmaster offers a spacious interior, accommodating up to 6 passengers comfortably. Its C-body style, shared with prestigious models like the Cadillac Series 62, Oldsmobile Series 90, and Pontiac Torpedo, exudes luxury and sophistication, making every journey a memorable experience for both driver and passengers alike.


While we do our best to provide the highest quality muscle cars with an honest and reliable description and realize the importance of transparency when selling vehicles. That being said, we have not built, modified, changed or personally owned this vehicle. Whether this vehicle is consigned or owned by Past & Present Motor Cars we do not know the vehicles complete history since new. We want to be clear and try to answer any questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we not only welcome but we encourage 3rd party independent inspections. Please inquire prior to purchase to make sure the advertised vehicle has not already been sold. We list our vehicles on multiple websites and a vehicle can sell at any time. If a customer chooses to purchase sight unseen (many of our customers choose this option) the customer accepts the vehicle AS IS and WHERE IS and understands we cannot address concerns after purchase. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale. Financing is Available with low rates and Vehicle Shipping is available from our Showroom to your Garage. A Classic Car Warranty is Available for Purchase from a 3rd Party. Please speak to our Sales Associate or Company Representative for more information. Our team is working and available anytime by Phone or Text for your convenience at 407-559-7759.
