At one time....Buick and Roadmaster really meant something. Sad those times are gone.

I have two of these cars currently. A 92 & a 95. My Grandparents bought both of them new. They were used to pull a 24 foot camper from Illinois to Colorado every summer till 2002. Both cars are daily drivers & in nice shape. Great cars.

My mom bought a new Buick LeSabre in 96. She drove it for 260,000 miles trouble free other than the normal wear items. She then gave it to my sister who drove it up to 350;000 miles. She finally parked it because the exhaust rotted out and she didn’t think it was worth the cost to repair it. What a car ! When everyone else was building absolute junk at that time the Buick stood tall.

I have a 1952 Buick Roadmaster straight eight here in the UK 🇬🇧

My Grandparents neighbor had a 90s road master sedan and a wagon with a Vista roof and I thought they were the coolest things ever and still do as a 30 year old adult

The Roadmaster was more desirable than any other car in the Buick lineup for that time period

Now that he mentioned the deVille roofline, I can't unsee it.

Can’t beat a Buick. Thanks Steve. 🙏🏻😎

This car truly was the end of an era. It was an excellent vehicle for what the Buick customer wanted. Too large, too soft, poor handling, surprisingly efficient, magic carpet ride. The best way to travel across the Plains, provided the front end was in alignment. Great for Texas, horrible for West Virginia.

I have always liked those newer Roadmasters.

The Roadmaster , what a great automobile .

Just took my '94 Roadie Wagon on a 3000 miles trip to Amarillo, Texas (to Precision Transmission) and back from Washington State. Didn't miss a beat and got 22 mpg. Daily driven, even now, and even with an Opti-Spark. Never fail to get compliments and stories whenever I stop for gas, anytime. Thanks for the vid, Steve! 😁👍

Have a 92 been my daily for 4 years starts evertime.

Back in 91 I bought a Vette Conv and wasn't paying attention to these. Now at 59 I want a 96 Roadmaster wagon.

I wanted a 94-96 back in 2010 but the owners knew what they had and wanted big $$$$ for them even back then. I got a Grand Marquis instead for $3700 and it gave me 8 reliable years.

The Roadmaster wagon came out for 1991, the Sedan came out for 1992. The roof of the Fleetwood is longer than the roof of the Roadmaster.

We're all pulling for you Steve. Hope to see you soon

The 'body on FULL frame and RWD" was THE CLASS way!

I have a pretty nice, 1996 Buick Roadmaster Estate Limited. I’ve had it for almost 12 years now. It’s my “Plan A” car for the Hot Rod Power Tour this year. It’s totally stock except that I’m running “Baby Moon” hubcaps on it.

This is one of the best Buicks ever made

I had a 95 Impala SS. Absolutely the best all around car I’ve ever owned. Quick, fast, comfortable, handled, incredible stopping power, and room for my whole family. Still miss that car, wish they still made them. Thanks as always ~ Chuck

I had a 1993 5.7 350 Roadmaster station Wagon white with the Nasty wood paneling ....my kids were little. They never saw a Station wagon before. They loved it

Road monsters! I love em!

I love my 1996 Buick Roadmaster sedan. The LT1 is great. Just wish it had something besides the 2.56 open diff to get it moving

My 1991 Roadmaster station wagon came with the 305 Chevy V8. Best riding car i ever owned. Had self leveling rear suspension. Ex wife totaled it

My. Favorite. Drove. 91. Caprice. In taxi. Loved. That. Car. Thanks

That was class. The trunk was big enough for 2 body's.

At one time those were everywhere on the road, and it sure didn't seem like to long ago.

Time goes by so fast . I remember these being NEW on the lot when I worked at a Dealership here in Pa . these were great selling cars .

I certainly remember these B body cars from GM. My parents owned 4 of these over the years. These were pretty comfortable and reliable . I can also say the same for Fords Panther RWD full-sized cars as well.

In high school my buddies dad had a 94 Roadmaster wagon with the big bubble top window up on the roof. We used to pack ten of us in that car and get stoned and drink beer and we called it the party on wheels.

My neighbor had one of these but it was the oldsmobile version of the wagon, I believe oldsmobile had this for only the first two years and got out of it.

Though it did share alot with the Chevy, the Buicks were so much more car. Luxurious, much more quiet, and they rode better. My neighbor has a 94. I keep teasing him that anytime he wants to sell it....

Back in '97 my Aunt & Uncle purchased a Pre-owned '96 Roadmaster. Back in '99 My Great-Aunt(Grandmother's Sister)had Died. We took a road trip in that Roadmaster from Philadelphia to Atlanta. That was a Living Room on Wheels...lol in 2005 I bought my first car, it was a 1996 Buick LaSabre Limited. It was a hooptie but body was in good shape. For the 3 days it drove whiles driving, it was smooth like my Grandmother's 1992 Cadillac Deville. It only had 168k miles on it, but was told by two Repair Shops the engine was shot. Had to get rid of it.

Boy those where some big land yachts! I guy at work had one! Very plush and comfortable ride! So comfortable that it will put you to sleep!👋😂💤

Having owned 86 cars in my life, I will say the ten 1994-1996 Roadmasters and Fleetwoods (of which I currently own 5) are the best cars of them all.

Last of the full sized , body on frame , American rear wheel drive sedans . At least they had a 5.7 liter V8 . Mechanical mut between a Cadillac Fleetwood & Caprice At least you tow , with those 💪💪 Those Skyhawks/ Somersets weren't THAT bad Steve . They had the Oldsmobile Quad 4 , 2.3 liter . Peppy 4 cylinder . My Aunt had an Oldsmobile achieva

I always called this era of full-size GMs "turds". When this design debut in '91 the Caprice gained 300 lbs. While the turd Crown Victoria in '92 didn't gain weight.

I caught the Sleigh Bells @6:56 you lightly edited in for 2 seconds. Smooth.

The only buick i had dealings with was my grandma's 1989 buick LeSabre. She passed two years ago and drove it up until she passed. I the grandson and my dad kept the maintenance up, and kept it cleaned up for her. I have to say, that car with the 3800 engine had really good power and the ride was like on a cloud. If a Cadillac rides better, its by a tiny bit.

No better channel on KZfaq - thanks!

my '95 caprice wagon would average 23 mpg at 85 mph

each day that goes by, Steve looks more and more like Homeless Dave

R.I.P. Roadmonster

Another great video from Steeveee Magnanteee !

Those were a beast of a car in the day, great video thumbs up

My next door neighbor had a 1991 Roadmaster which he purchased new. It was a good car for towing his trailer. As he was an elderly man it was the last car he owned.

I think the Cadillac and Roadmaster both had the longer wheelbase. The rear door is longer and had the small window that allowed the rear window to open all the way and clear the wheel cutout.

I had a 94 Caprice, grey unmarked hwy intercepter, and that was its job when it was on active duty in RedDeer Alberta, chasing down speeders on hwy2 It was indestructible in some ways and just junk in others. It was a lot of fun to drive though, there were still quite a few in active service when I had it. Even cops would think I was a cop lol

My uncle Jim had a 94 Roadmaster, was a greenish grey color. What a car it was! The ride was outstanding, it had plenty of power too. A fine ride! Also those pointy front Skylarks were fantastic! I've had one on my car bucket list since they came out.

Got a 97 deville. Basically same car. Only problem...northstar!

In 58 the limited was top of the line

What a wealth of information. Get well soon.

I was hoping you would do this one. Thanks Professor Magnante

5:04 I remember in '96 when I found out that GM canceled the B-body for trucks! I was so pissed at them for doing this, but those numbers makes sense now...

My dad bought a new Roadmaster estate wagon when they first came back out as a retirement present to himself. Traded in his tired 1979 Estate Wagon with the 350 engine. I was shocked he bought something so ugly but I guess for him it was the name. Having a Buick before that, but having a 66 caprice wagon until 1979 but before the Chevy he bought a new black 53 Roadmaster 4dr he drove until 1966. Dad was a Buick guy I guess. Before the 53 it was his first car, a used 1937 Plymouth 2 dr sedan. The 90's Buick was his last new and last domestic car. In 2000 him and mom decided to go to one car to keep expenses down and they sold his Roadmaster and her 1984 Volvo 240 and bought a 1990 Volvo 240 wagon because dad was handy and had to have a wagon. That was a great car until mom forced the upgrade in 2010 to a 2004 Golf TDI they drove until dad stopped driving in 2018.

It’s a shame the profits all shifted to trucks and SUVs. There are still people like my family and I who prefer traditional large American family sedan CARS like this one and will never own a truck or SUV. These cars were so smooth and comfortable, easy to maneuver, extremely reliable when maintained, swallow up 4-6 people AND all their luggage for any length of trip you want to take all in tireless comfort, and for shorter people like my Mom and I easier to get in and out than any truck or SUV. My Mom owns a Cadillac CT6 and I daily drive her old Buick Lucerne (my other car is a Camaro SS). I always have my eye out for one of these Roadmasters or Cadillac Fleetwoods from the same era that are low milage, still in good condition, and reasonably priced……. Turns out I have my choice of two out of the three lol

I had one of those skylarks you disliked lol it was a nice car. 3.1 powered and was pretty quick

Love the last LT1 Roadmaster what an underrated car been in a few comfortable fast for what it was comfortable is an understatement!

We were a Buick family

I had one of these as a company car. It was incredible.

I remember driving a 96 wagon a former employer had. It was quite nice. Quite quick for the size. (I agree want you said the skylark, these were very unusual. I rented one of these in LA years ago.

Steve, always enjoy how you make a normal everyday car interesting.

With the look of that car, not sure it's a bad idear it's in the past.

Remember the south park episode, I think it was about seniors were revolting. In southpark style they were all driving square nondescript cars, with only the Buick emblem recognizeable

Excellent channel Steve! Lots of info and fun!

growing up my dad loved the early roadmasters as well as the Electra 225. Thanks for the memories.

I had a 1996 and i wish i never sold it, Mine was a Freaking Rocket. The ride was just like a Caddy. I have owned many cars, and i dare say this car may have been the best i ever had.

There was a certain southern Californian city that had the Caprice of that platform. Due to the black and white paint scheme, were referred to "Shamu".

I've got a 91 sitting in the yard 271k miles and the ac still works

My uncle used to call them Road Bastards. However, I think he was referring to the pre 1960 version.

I still see the odd roadmaster in our city. Just saw a green grey one the other day.

I have 2 caprices 1995 9C1s and 1 1994 L99 4.3L v8. All great cars!

LOVE the '94 through '96 Roadmasters!!!

Lol use to catch a ride to work with a guy that had that same car, same color, he called it "the road bastard" lol. Comfy cars, if you ever ride in a S-class Mercedes you will see they are an over engineered version of these and 70's American land yachts

I used to call them Road Monsters!

Loved that big ass Buick.

The Limited was even more upscale than the Roadmaster.

A story on that 1st gen Legacy would be cool. You can talk about how Subaru targeted the PNW and other snowy/wet states for their advertising and completely avoided places like California,Arizona,Texas type states. It helped cement their "Legacy" in those adverse weather places.

Depressing to see these great cars all rotting away.

I have two 93's currently. One with 52000 original miles. Had a 95, the cooling system was finicky, and the car had transmission problems unfortunately. I really prefer the 92- 93 mostly. I really like my Roadmasters, they are great automobiles.

Hi Steve, good video, good car! There is no substitute for a V8 rear wheel drive car. That Buick Roadmaster will do everything a two wheel drive SUV will do, including trailer towing with a down to earth ride height! It is not necessary to be two feet up in the air to tow a trailer, and more aerodynamic (save fuel) anyway! By today(s) standard(s) it's SUV! SUV! SUV! Please comment! Dave...

Buicks had a great run, gm perfected the 3.8,/2000 Buick la Sabre 328 thousands miles,22 year run until a deer took it out!

Like the Roadmaster luxury.

So sad to see that roadmaster in that junk yard. We have two Roadmaster wagons a93 and a 96 that my brother put a 383 sticker in.😊😊

I hauled cars for 22 years, I distinctly remember the first time one of these tanks was on my load. From that moment I walked up to the car, my brain said “ Road Monster “. There was something about the rear quarters, that made this car look faster than the Caprice. You have to keep in mind that in our line of work you have to drive or back this brute between the posts that make up a car haul trailers structure. Only a couple of inches clearance on either side. Same with full size pickups. You have to hug the side you can see, and keep the steering wheel adjustments to a minimum. Even turning the steering wheel when the vehicle is stopped the tire friction on the deck will made the vehicle move slightly as the caster, and camber of the front end geometry adjusts. GM came out with 4 wheel steering option on some trucks, you had to disable it. Try driving vehicles up on to the top deck of some of the older trailers back in the day, when it’s the dead of winter in Canada and it’s - 30 in Winnipeg Manitoba. I’ve gone as far as leaving my truck and the truck stop fuel cardlock and walking, or taxi to the dealership at night and drive say a full size cargo van back to the truck, and park the car hauler in the fuel island where there’s no snow on the ground so I can take a run at the ramps fast enough to get it up on the deck without wheel spin getting you out of shape as you hit the ramps. Hopefully you didn’t have to unload that one again till you reached your final destination. Some times on my run back and forth from Vancouver B.C. and Toronto you’d have a vehicle off and on the truck 4 or 5 times depending on how your load makeup changed as you where always trying to replace units that you dropped off along the way, 22 years of that was enough. Philosophically put, “ You hauled some people’s dreams, and other people’s nightmares “ for me.

Mr. B. Here ! Morning to all ! Drove many of those platforms , if you wanted a ride that was comfortable for long trips 2nd to none . From NY to FLA what a ride ! 😊😊😊😊😊

Love your snap videos

Had a ‘95 with the LT1. Smoked the tires on the test drive. Optispark sucks.

😊

I think of Steve Morris wagon Boostmaster.

Great video! Love me the Roadmaster! I also spot a 90-91 Subaru Legacy in the back round of the junk yard there too! I would totally pick that guy up asap! Rare car.

Roadmonster

When those came out I thought they were cool.amd I wanted one. Or even the station wagon.

I had a 1996 Roadmaster with the vette engine just like the Impala SS. Awesome car. Thanks Steve 👍

I've always been kinda a Buick guy. Had rwd and fwd Regals (one T-Type), a supercharged Regal, and a supercharged Park Avenue Ultra. The 3800 is one of the greatest engines ever built. I recently bought a clean 69 Skylark, I'll eventually put an aluminum LS and a Tremec in it.

I loved these big bodied GMs. I want a roadmaster wagon to make a hotrod family hauler. My wife thinks they are hideous though. She says I’m already older than her, and I don’t need to add to looking like a senior citizen. 😂

I daily drive a 91 Roadmaster wagon, which came with a first year only 5.0 V8. Though not as good as the 350’s, the thing just cruises on the highway. We live in Michigan and have driven it to FL, TN twice, and KY. Love my Roadie!

Steve Morris has a low 6 second Roadmaster. Going for 5's this year.

Gm badge engineering at its finest
