Vehicle Details
One of only 2,404 75R coupes produced. Few remain, and this is the finest example in existence.
The 75 series Roadmaster was a new series offered late in the model year in 1957 and is set apart from all other Roadmasters by it's unique custom leather-trimmed interior and unique exterior trim and badging. The special interior was not available in any other models including the convertible, and besides the leather seats (leather was not used in other closed body Roadmasters) the special interior not available in any other model included custom door panels with integrated armrests and custom trim, chrome dash panel, and chrome window and headliner trim.
This car also came from the factory with the rare Sylvan Gray paint which was only available late in the model year and is very seldom found on any 1957 Buick. In addition, this car came with another rare paint feature only offered late in the model year and seldom seen, which is the color separation at the roof similar to Cadillacs in 1957 instead of at the sweepspear like the vast majority of 1957 Buicks.
An authentic comprehensive restoration was completed in 2022. Finished in stunning rare Sylvan Gray with Dover White roof. Original numbers-matching engine and beautifully detailed under the hood. Interior restored using correct colors and materials. Restoration was completed using numerous rare NOS parts throughout and the paint and chrome are top quality. 2022 Buick Club of America Gold Senior recipient (top award). Full factory power options including power antenna, Wonderbar radio, and power windows. Other rare original accessories include Autronic Eye, Trailmaster spotlight, rear speaker, and floormats (all NOS).
Nearly every single thing on this car has been restored or replaced, and done so with most authentic and highest quality components.
This is a collector and investment grade car that is the top of the line coupe in the most desirable colors and options and has no comparable peers. There has never been one offered in this condition in recent history and this is the first time this car has ever been offered publicly.
