After a very bad auto accident, my grandfather located a 2-year old 1957 Buick Super. Seeing the car for the first time, and not knowing its ownership, this recent model Buick Super was an attention grabber--Green top, white door inset, and a red-inset body side molding. The seating was sumptuous--AND a padded dashboard. When grandmother returned to driving she loved the car, especially the power steering, but was not amused by the speed buzzer, set by gramps to go off at 70 (which she also found how to override). Of cars built in the 1950s, overall longevity was part of planned obsolescence. By 1963 the very regular waxings could no longer hide the primer paint. Then it started leaking cold in the winter, hot in the summer, compounded by A/C failure which would have cost more to repair than the car was worth. The replacement, a '66 Roadmaster, was warm and cool when it needed to be but didn't have the style or class. But the use of seat belts, starting with the '57, shoulder straps and other safety features on new cars were welcomed. While my grandfather owned several more Buicks, the '57 was by far the sharpest car he ever owned.

I had one in Mariner blue…a RM75-only color. I saved it from near-death in a field and got it driving and passed it on to the next owner with a parts haul I collected. I had it for 15 years, tucked away in my Mom’s dry garage. The interior is a Buck Rogers space ship, just filled with chrome and stainless. The leather and vinyl inside had a pearl effect that works well with the chrome. I was very lucky to find a nice original interior in the same light blue from a Chicago area Buick Club man. It got my car over the hump. The mechanicals were easy to get right. If the cosmetics are good enough, these are wonderful driving cars. The 57’s are so different from the 56 GM cars. I recall my grandmother’s 56 Fleetwood 60S. It was much larger and higher than these cars. The 57 seems lower and sporty in comparison. These are really Cadillacs more than they are Buicks. I think they are the best of both worlds. The Buick interior is way better than the Cadillac interior, even has chromed headliner trim vs the aluminum of the Cadillac.

Lou you can be the least inquisitive . This car is a survivor in amazing shape. His dad put it in storage years ago. You don't ask why or what type of storage facility he had that kept it in such good shape. Did his dad have a car collection? What other cars if any did his Dad have in this building? When a car has been sitting for years let alone decades there are things that just deteriorate. What did he have to do to get it running properly? finally the owner mentioned the cubic inch of the engine but not the HP or torque. ????????? I still love your channel. You find the coolest cars.

Ours was solid gray and did not have those wheels. But the features are identical. Brings back memories. Was not in love with the speedometer. Before that, we had a 52 Roadmaster with the straight 8.

The Roadmaster 75 was a Spring introduction in an effort to boost lagging sales. It was offered in a 2- and 4-door HT model, with very few made, especially the 2-door. In 1958 all Roadmasters were 75s, but for 57 it was a special model as an adjunct to the regular Roadmaster line up. When I was a teenager in 1967 I used to go to a local car hop for lunch. One day a guy rolled in with a rather worn 57 Roadmaster 75, the only one I think I've ever seen on the road and that was over 50 years ago. I also saw a 58 Limited at the same place sometime that summer, also tired, but still on the road. A big junkyard I used to go to back around that time also had a 57 Roadmaster 75 among the Buicks. I don't recall ever seeing any others ever, even at shows. This is an outstanding original. Did the owner say if it was original paint? It looks it. The door jams are split properly; another mistake you often see in restored Buicks of this vintage. Door jams are split, door ends are top color all the way down. A lot of guys don't do that right when repainting these cars. If I were judging, I'd take points off for that. I've seen 57 factory photos with the wire wheels. I think it was the last year they were offered. They were an expensive option: $400 in 1954. I don't know about other years. If you bought the option you got 5 wire wheels.

I have a hubcap from a 57 Roadmaster hanging on the wall in my living room. It’s not perfect but is nice enough for a wall hanger.

@@loucostabile I love old cars and while I no longer have any that are anywhere near show quality I do have a couple of projects that I am working on one of which (63 Dodge 440 4 door sedan) I still daily drive in the summer even though it has rust issues. It still gets more attention and thumbs ups than any newer cars in the area including the newer Corvettes and Hellcats around here.
