That’s an absolute beauty of a car. I love old Buicks. The quiet rumble of the engine is very appealing.

One advantage of the Dynaflow was on snowy/icy roads. Steady motion with no downshifting

The Dynaflow transmission doesn’t shift when it’s underway. All the torque multiplication is in the torque converter.

Yes! At sixteen, a 1949 Roadmaster was my very first car. Needed a lot of stuff, but it looked great. Couldn't go on the expressway but it was great for dates and beach trips. And it rode as good as any car on the road today!

Yep that's the Roadmaster 320 big block straight 8 that purred like a kitten as I remembered them. The engine was made from 1936 to 1952 and very reliable (don't expect more that 10-11 mpg tho) I was lucky to had a '51 and two '52s some years ago.

Wish I had one now. Dynaflow transmission-no shifts in “D”. Accelerates like a small air plane with variable prop. My father had a 1941, 47, 55 and 63. He offered me the 1955 for $300 and I declined! Dumb me! I was into sports cars then.

You can’t hear the transmission shift because it’s a Dynaflow, and i don’t think they had gears, per se. Seems like it was a type of variable pitch turbine or something along those lines. An interesting concept, especially for the time. It must have been at least moderately effective, I think they kept them in production for a while.

Nice video, Do you know the difference between the special, super and road master for 1949. Does the dashboard change its looks? And I have found the road master has a longer wheel base. Any knowledge would be appreciated.

***** The 1949 Roadmaster and Super share the same dash. The 1949 Special still used the dash of 1941-48. The Specials were phased out of production early in the production year to be replaced by the 1950 model. The Roadmaster wheelbase was about 4 inches longer than the Super (the 4 door sedan even longer) and the Specials were the smallest, I believe 122 inches.

Super and special had 3 venti ports in the fenders roadmaster had 4. They drilled them out for the first half of 49 but after that they were solid. I own a 49 straight 8 super and notice very little difference between the 3 besides trims, transmission and if you could get the dyna flow option

The high hoods on today's American full size pickups is part of pedestrian safety. It's been thought that it was better to hit a pedestrian square in the chest and knock them down, rather than a low hood knock them off their feet and smash their head into the hood( and the engine beneath it) or the windshield. Of course if the driver can't see short objects in front of him because of a high hood, that's a problem.

I am not advocating gunning for pedestrians with a Buick hood oranament. The Buick bombsite name for the hood oranament was a direct coralation to the Norden bombsite on ww2 american bombers. Fact not fiction.
