1953 Buick Super Woodie

Buick marked their 50th anniversary in 1953.  With V8 engines gaining popularity, it was quite natural that Buick would celebrate its golden anniversary by introducing a modern overhead-valve V8.  Remarkably, in addition to the first Buick V8 engine and the first use of a 12-volt electrical system, the 1953 Buick Estate Wagon was the very last woody station wagon offered by an American automobile manufacturer.

 These factors, combined with Buick’s beautiful styling, make this one of the most desirable and sought-after woody station wagons ever produced.  In 1953, Buick offered two models of Estate Wagons: the Super and the Roadmaster.  The production numbers for the 1953 Buick Estate Wagons were only 1,830 Supers and a minuscule 670 Roadmasters.  There are thought to be approximately 15 Roadmaster Estate Wagons left in the world today.  The number of Super wagons available are also limited.  Our car was found in California in remarkably good condition.  She will be restored to the showroom in new condition and will pull one of our Chris Craft boats.
