Buick Roadmaster
The Buick Roadmaster is an automobile built by Buick in three distinct periods: 1936 through 1942; 1946 through 1958; and 1991 through 1996. Roadmasters produced between 1936 and 1958 were built on Buick's longest non-limousine wheelbase and shared their basic structure with the entry-level Cadillac Series 65, the upscale Buick Limited, and, after 1940, the Oldsmobile 98. Between 1946 and 1957, the Roadmaster served as Buick's flagship.

Five-year savings compare with an average new vehicle (gasoline operation for dual-fuel vehicles). CO₂ is tailpipe only. EPA scores run from 1–10; higher is better.
