Buick Roadmaster




Buick introduced the extremely large Roadmaster Sedan and Wagons in the early 1990's. Many referred to these vehicles as bloated or beached whales. They are gargantuan in length and width. Many states require "WIDE VEHICLE" signs when these barges are driven on public streets. Picture one of these hippos in the rear view mirror of your Smart Car, hope you have an extra pair of shorts available! Driving one of these around town is like piloting the Queen Mary through tight locks. Try parking one of these in one of the compact parking spaces that are being installed in all of the malls built in America. Can you say 10 pound package in a 5 pound space! Maybe high gas prices are a good thing, as this dinosaur should be extinct!

Surprised that that "roadmonster" is on your no no list, being that it spawned so many hearses....not particularly attractive ones mind you......

Say what you will...I bought one of these recently that is lowered and has American Racing wheels on it...and it is cooler than shit. It is the Olds Custon Cruiser wagon with the glass roof. it is huge inside and has a Chevy 350 engine factory.
