Nick Unveils His New Super Rare 1947 Buick Roadmaster Convertible!

It was an exciting day at the Ernst Bros Garage! Nick surprised Pop to unveil his newest purchase; a beautiful 1947 Buick Roadmaster Convertible!
In this video, we take a closer look at the car for the very first time, from rolling it right out of the truck, to cleaning off the dust from years of sitting in a warehouse in Virginia. This classic Buick is going to be one heck of a restoration project. Nick and Evan will be dialing in the stance, driveline, and most importantly, getting the Buick straight 8 running again for the first time in years!
A lot of people see a Buick Roadmaster for the first time and think they are a Buick Series 40 Super or more specifically, a 1947 Buick Super. It isn't. In a future video, Nick will walk you through how to identify all the different classic Buick models, including the 1947 Buick Super Series 40.

The Caddy is a sweet ride. But for styling, that Buick is 10 out of 10.

Great ! You have a awesome Buick Roadmaster Straight 8 in pristine condition 76 year younger. A work of Art in all respect. In looks and mechanically. See how best you would like to preserve it.

Well ! Take a look at that ! Hi Nick . What a super find ! Although l'm a born and bred englishman l love these Buicks and with the "fireball " straight 8 , great cruisers ! I went to a car show in 2009 and met an old boy with a Buick straight 8 sedan. He was a tank commander in the second world war and was just one of those characters you never forget ! He'd seen my Jaguar and raved about the engine bay and how immaculate it was and insisted l had a look at his Buick . When he opened up the hood l'd never seen a straight 8 ! Jeez! It was a sight to behold ! And then he started the old girl up ......my word ! Foot to the floor and he held it there for ever ......well more like 30 seconds ! But he wanted to demonstrate the build quality of these mighty engines ! Well , you must decide what you're going to do with this great car but get it running , take it for a 200 mile trip and then decide if you still want to fit an LS ......you may just change your mind ! Thanks Nick and say hi to Evan and your dad !

Awesome story John! I probably will heed your advice first and get this inline 8 back on its feet first before making any decisions. Will definitely post a "first start" video if we get it going! Thanks again for your support! We appreciate it!

dude, awesome find but please keep the origional engine... i feel you for wanting an ls, but there less and less pristine examples of complete origional cars on the road today...

[@FloridaClay]

It's georgeous!!

[@lucianene7741]

Barn find, this? Man, they do have some barns over there!

[@dannydean9204]

What a marvelous work of machinery!

[@rancidschannel3206]

Wow, you could be your own part in Mullholland Falls!

[@WilliamZeddies]

Keep it as original as possible.

[@ClassicNation]

I will try my best! That is the plan as of now...

[@lkmsl]

It's beautiful!

The Banker, the Doctor, and the Lawyer drove Roadmasters because since they worked for a living and did not want to show off. Caddy’s were driven by people who had streets named after their relatives.

[@daveg.1051]

Im going right now to look at one just like it is 30 th a good price?

[@julianonascimento1225]

👏👏👏

[@tires2burn]

The interior would be rich in Buckskin colored ultra leather.

[@ClassicNation]

Agreed. 🙌

- I am officially reporting you for presenting pure car porn. Please don't stop. Give the Buick str8 a chance. If you ever heard one run, it's unique even among str8's.

[@gaylewhite2049]

don't you dare LS that car. Shame on you for even thinking that

[@toddcrofts7897]

Lol you guys don't know what you have
