Greetings from Tucson, Arizona USA. Just discovered your channel. You have a beautiful Roadmaster! My 1st car memories began 1950 or so.. I was with Mama when she bought a 1950 Coronet Deluxe. My gramma's sister had a 1951 Buick Super 4-door - all 4'9" and 98# of her. and my gramma - same petite size, had a 1951 Ambassador.

These cars were "battleships". My parents had a yellow, 1953 Buick Super 4-dr. sedan from 1954-'59. My uncle owned a blue, 1950 Roadmaster, same body style, from 1950-'56, until he traded it for a new, light green Ford--ugh! I'd take either of those old Buicks today--or maybe even that Ford. Your '51 is a real, unmolested gem. There's no mistaking the Buick straight-eight engines for anything else.

Glad to see somebody respects the importance of stock originality. Too many cars from this era are ruined as customized low-riders.

I had a 50. They are slow as hellfrom the get go but once it gets going is a comfy ride. It sways like crazy but that was 50s idea. Those 4 springs were a joy ride.... the most unique muffler for GM. You could tell it was a Buick by the sound....

Wish you could have put in driving scenes without music. Love to hear the old straight 8. I had an identical car from 1979 to 1983.

I know someone that has a 51 Buick Super all original with a straight 8 in Taos NM. It has a push button trans shifter. I use to start it up every week. It was so quiet, I thought it wasn't running. I remember the tiny 1 brl carb. This car has the original upholstery. The suspension had hydraulic A-arms! You don't see that anymore. Great memories. Unfortunately, he's not selling.

No Buick 8 had a 1 barrel carb. Ever. And no Buick had a push button shifter. Ever. The hydraulic A arms were a combination shock absorber/upper A arm. In the 40s, all GM cars had those, and Buick and Oldsmobile kept them into the 50s. 54 I think.
