Hi Ed ! Very good analysis. According to my ref., it’s a 1946 Buick Roadmaster Sedanet. http://www.motorlegend.com/coupe/buick-roadmaster/6,8763.html As you can see on this link, the 1947 is very, very similar to the 1946. Here’s the 1946 Buick Roadmaster Sedan. http://www.allposters.com/-sp/1946-Buick-Roadmaster-Sedan-Posters_i1001902_.htm JM

Wanna have a guess at this one (no cheating)...........hahahahaha it has a 'retractable roof,..........so that sort of takes the thunder away from those late 50's Fords,.......or some old European rtractables:                        Yup ,it's that old 'real familiar'  1941 Chrylsler Thunderbolt, hahahah      It looks like a prototype for the Oscar Myer Weiner Car,...........I can't say I think it's stylish,...............Unless they are going after that 'Early Junkyard look' hahahahahaha  I suppose it was somewhat futuistic looking  ????? I cannot recall ever hearing about a Thunderbolt,..........but Chrylser did a lot of experimenting,and tried many different ideas,...and were actually quite leading in the way of good ideas...................

How's this one for looking somewhat like the Buick Roadmaster,..........                               .........1947 Packard Clipper Coupe.................

    This one needs a little TLC,................I'd like to see that guy on TV who goes into a scrapyard,& pretends to be pick at random, a car that he uses his 'new improved car wax' on,...and presto (I like that word),.....hahahaha  & Presto the car is like it came out of the Showroom,......... Try it on this Buick

Here's a 1946 Buick Roadmaster,.............& check this out ,.......Did this thing have an Incredible Heater or What ????             .........Wow ,I   Wonder  what it's  'Air Conditioner' was Like..............hahaha

Hi Les ! Thanks for the « hot Â» stuff on the Buick Roadmaster 1946. In 1946, Omer Barr챕 was a Buick dealer in Verdun.   (Upper photo, 1976) JM
