A very well documented example from new, it sold originally in southern Virginia and stayed with the original owner well into the 1960's.nbsp;It remained in that region when a Richmond, Virginia collector, Jim Wamsley, was able to buy it in 1974 from a dealer using it for business advertising. It would receive its first amateur restoration soon afterward and then be used as a very reliable driver for club events and driving tours, including the 1998 Glidden Tour 53rd Revival Tour. That owner of 27 years would finally sell it in December 2001 to Savannah, Georgia Buick enthusiast, Robert Minis, who continued to love and care for the classic very well.Affectionately known as Ruby," the new owner raved about her mechanical prowess and dependability on Buick Driver Enthusiast (BDE) tours and elected to drive it for a couple years just as he bought it. Over time, it began to show its age once again, and after meeting restorers John amp; Joyce Williams on one such driving event, he was convinced it would be worthwhile to perform a comprehensive restoration to the exterior paint, chrome brightwork, dash presentation, and engine compartment. The results remain very impressive todayIt continued to participate in BDE tours, Buick National Meets, several Regional events, and parades under Minis' ownership. It would even have a small feature in The Buick Bugle September 2007 highlighting the special production of 1*number in the description* Buick Convertible Phaetons, not to mention their incredible cost of 1,775 when brand newnbsp;In 2021 it received a new battery, new Pertronix electronic ignition, plug wires amp; distributor cap; new engine oil amp; filter, rebuilt Stromberg carburetor with fresh float amp; fuel filter, completely new braking system from the master cylinder out to each wheel cylinder, front amp; rear hoses, shoes amp; spring hardware, and adjustment screws.

To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION WITHOUT RESERVE at RM Sothebys' Paris event, 4 - 5 February 2025. rnOffered Without Reserve | ?50,000 - ?80,000 EUR rnrnPowered by its matching-numbers 5.3-litre Fireball V-8 engine that produces 188 horsepowerrnOne of 3,318 examples of the Roadmaster Convertible made for the 1953 model year in 76C form and to the 4767X body stylernEquipped with power steering, windows, and soft-top convertible roofrnPresented in restored condition and accompanied by photos of its workshop overhaulrnDelivered new to Paris; single family ownership from new to 2010rnAcquired by The Curated Collection in January 2010rn rnrn rnrnThe classic, 1950s American styling extravagance of the Series 70 Roadmaster Convertible is perhaps best encapsulated by the VentiPorts. The four chrome flourishes that sit on each of the front wings are reminiscent of exhaust stacks on fighter aircraft. For the best effect, Buick designer Ned Nickle added orange lights to his car that flashed in time with the spark plugs. rnrnFirst registered in September 1953, as Buick celebrated its golden anniversary, the example offered here is understood to have been sold new in Paris via General Motors concessionaire, Auto-Hall. According to The Standard Catalog of American Cars by John Gunnell, the Buick was one of 3,318 examples of the 76C Roadmaster Convertible built for the 1953 model year to the 4767X body style. Boasting single-family ownership for almost six decades, this Roadmaster was restored in the late 1990s before being sold at auction in January 2010, when it was acquired by The Curated Collection. rnrnUnderstood to have been built new in Seamist Grey, the Buick is now presented in Ivory over Burgundy upholstery with matching fascia, while the car is equipped with power steering, windows, and soft-top convertible roof. Meanwhile, under the bonnet rests an overhead valve, 322-cubic-inch (5.3-litre) Fireball V-8 engine that delivers 188 horsepower via a Dynaflow automatic transmission, which is controlled by a column-mounted shifter. The car is accompanied by its owner's guides. It is extremely rare to find an American Classic like this in Europe, especially one with this provenance, so it would make a fine addition to any collection.rnTo view this car and others currently consigned to this auction, please visit the RM Sotheby's website.
