The Roadmaster is powered by a 320 cubic inch straight-eight engine. The car’s biggest advancement was the introduction of, the first passenger car torque converter transmission. Optional on Roadmaster in its first year, Dynaflow was so popular that by the following it was standard equipment. The Dynaflow received some severe early testing in the M18 Hellcat tank destroyer, which were built in Buick's Flint, Michigan assembly plant during World War II. Between 1946 and 1957 the Roadmaster served as Buick's flagship. Photo taken at the 41st Annual Forest Grove Concours d’Elegance, Oregon.
