Summary
The Buick Roadmaster may be the embodiment of an older concept in motoring, but it's not an antique. There's nothing outdated about quiet operation, smooth ride quality, king-size roominess, vast trunk space and stimulating power.And if old-fashioned body-on-frame construction yields high curb weights, it's also durable. There's no overlooking the fact that this car's handling falls a bit short of contemporary standards. And then there's the image issue: The Roadmaster doesn't quite have the panache of some of those luxury imports, but in terms of what you get for your money it's an undeniable value. Pricing starts well below the $30,000 luxury-car plateau, and a loaded Limited barely crawls close to that mark. The Roadmaster may not be trendy, but it is a good deal.
