----This picture was taken before Wayne Carini put that Buick thru a fairly comprehensive resto. It looked really crispy when done, and Roadmasters are really, really nice rides! I worked for a friend on Cape Cod who was a master Buick guy, so I spent time with many and came to really appreciate the quality involved. There was a time when GM was the standard of the world. Sadly, I think that time has passed!
----I should also say that my father had a 41 Roadmaster convert new. Gone by the time I rolled into the world but he actually drove it to San Francisco during the war before heading out to the Pacific theater to do his bit. I do remember his 52 Roadmaster convert mainly because he flipped a cigarette over his shoulder once with the top down. You guessed it, the cig went into the folded down top and by the time we got home the top was smoldering.....Bill S
