Buick Roadmaster - A Classic Returns (1992) 

I wish car companies still made stuff like this.

I wish I can live in that era.. it must be so much fun to take a long journey with all family member with roadmaster..

💘Bring back the landyachts💯

We (Parallel Productions, Inc.) produced this film. It was shot in and around San Luis Obispo, CA. The VO Narrator is Peter Graves.

This is a bygone era. Those were smooth riding, comfortable safe family vehicles. The LT1 version of the Roadmaster could be used to haul your family around, take a vacation, go to work, go shopping, pull a boat to the lake and even outrun a Mustang GT 0-60.

I love these Buick Roadmasters. My grandmother has one and is a real treat to drive when I visit. The car is now 22 years old and drives like new.

This is one of the most relaxing videos on RU-vid

our 95 RMW rides like a dream and has just a little over 128k miles on it. get a lot of compliments and waves when driving it....people love their wagons!

I have a Buick 1992 Roadmaster Estate Wagon like the one shown in this video and it sure lives to it's name. While having nearly 300k miles on it I still can make up to 600 miles on a tank of fuel rather than the 550 miles as stated in this video. Oh how so many people try to buy this lovely car from me. The car rides smother than a Cadillac as well. Just love this car. Thanks for sharing this video. :D

Love the backstory they didn't narrate, but told beautifully through images and music. A 30-something real estate agent (likely a WWII veteran) starts his company, Reliable Real Estate, selling homes to fellow veterans, impressing these "many discriminating people" with his '53 Roadmaster, then fast forward 40 years, he's now in his 70's, Reliable is still in business through years of hard work, but he is still nostalgic for that '53 he wishes he never sold... now at the height of success, he's enjoying his kids, grandkids, and dogs with the family's two new "FULL SIZE, REAR WHEEL DRIVE" Roadmasters.

Most awesome wagon I've ever seen

I’ve got a 96 Roadmaster wagon and it’s a damn machine. So underrated as a car. I’m also not believing the 260hp rating on the LT1 but we threw some Impala SS and 1LE Camaro parts on it and its even better. From our experience it’s very polarizing, women hate it but guys are into it. They understand the muscle wagon I guess.

When I was growing up in the 80s and 90s these, Cadillac and Lincoln was the cars to have. I miss them days, I loved riding in my grandma buick.

The Buick Road Monster ruled the 90s Interstates!

I have a '93 driftwood wagon, and I love it! It is such a great car, plenty of room, a smooth ride, and plenty of power. It's probably one of the nicest cars I've driven so far.

The Roadmaster Estate Wagon of the 90s was the most luxurious ever offered in a regular production wagon. It offered genuine leather seating surfaces. The last wagons before the Roadmaster Estate to offer leather seating surfaces in the full sized segment was the luxury group equipped Ford LTD Country Squire LX and the Mercury Colony Park LS wagons from 1991 on down.

I just saw a Roadie wagon today, white with woodgrain vinyl like in the video. I thought those cars were cool when they debuted and I still do today. Oversized and comfortable, yet ready to get down and have some good fun, just like my wife. I miss cars like this.

"Can you drive this 1992 Buick Roadmaster? Surely, you can't be serious I am serious, & don't call me Shirley"

it does indeed, master the road! I own a 94 estate wagon, I get compliments on it all the time.

I've got a 93 Roadmaster Limited sedan I bought last year with 77,000 original miles for $1700. The interior is a 9.5/10 and looks like a 2-3 year old car. Every single little switch, light, and gadget works. The exterior looks awesome from a distance but the clear coat is peeling in some spots now. I can see why people loved these cars and in the year I've owned it I have gotten more comments on it than any sports car I've owned...although it's always from older guys on their 50s and 60s who either try to buy it from me or tell me about how they had one and still regret selling or trading 20+ years later. I recently took mine on our family vacation and got mid 20s mpg, floating along the highway on a leather couch at 85mph while barely even pressing the gas. I'm glad there's videos like this on RU-vid so I can see how they were marketed backed when new.

picking up my roadmaster this weekend from a great aunt. Its the same color combo as the estate wagon in this video. It has all service records, 194k and she is lettin me have it for $500...Runs and drives like a champ but needs some cosmetics! cant wait!

Love the Roadmaster Wagon.

Roadmaster. The Master of Roads.

Probably the nicest wagon an American car Company ever maid. If you Buick wants us back you need to go back to your ROOTS. Do that and I will be outside your dealership and buy one. Thats a promise.

My 1992 Roadmaster was built in June of 1991 at the beginning of the 1992 model run. Almost 22 years and still going strong. It still is a great automobile. It is interesting when you need a part for it. If it is a body part then it is a 92 but if you need electrical parts then it is a 91 wagon. GM told me this due to my getting the wrong electrical part (ac control panel) constantly and finally calling them for help. That was also when I learned it was built at the start of the new year run.

People still want big, comfort 6 passenger 4-door luxury sedan

I’m in love been a dream to own one and I just got a custom 91 wagon

ill always miss the roadmaster

I got all misty-eyed watching this... I had a black '92 Limited sedan when I was in my 20s. I never loved a car like I loved that one. I totalled it when I got t-boned by a Taurus doing 45... had I been driving anything smaller I probably wouldn't be here right now. Oddly enough, I now own a Taurus... nice enough car, but It's no Roadmaster. I will own another someday.

These are nearly identical to the Chev Caprice of which I currently have ('93) with 336,500 miles at this writing. My car has never had the original engine and transmission rebuilt -still shifts well and uses no oil -amazes me every time I drive it.

My '92 base (not Limited) Roadmaster sedan has the 2.56:1 axle ratio & 700R4, enabling 25.575 on the highway! It's a dream on 4 wheels!

God. This was back when cars were just easy. Plush and cozy. Sophisticated. Not tarted up with an over abundance of technology and gimmicks. I badly miss these days.

This video has such a fun, whimsical feel to it. Really makes it feel like the reintroduction on the Roadmaster was something special.

My dad bought my mom a 93 it was my favorite childhood automobile! And my dad had a Blazer!

One of the best cars I've ever owned right here.

I love occasionally re-watching this video! I love my Roadmaster Estate! I'm almost at 200K miles, I also have a few vids on my channel of it! It's been great! If you can find one in decent shape I'd get it! You might need to put some money into it pays off, the build quality, comfort, and performance are exceptional for an American car of the time!

550 miles on a tank?! Holly crispy crap. I've *never* gotten anything like that in my Caprice!

I own one and love it.

I'm ok with my Electra Estate Wagon, But I won't lie, I'd probably pick one of these up if the opportunity arises.

My favorite big Buick wagons: 1970 LeSabre Estate with 455 1979 Estate Wagon Limited with 403 1980 Electra Estate Diesel

very good video loved it rip peter graves

General motors v8 engines 1993 models and before are the best cars ever made .. I like Buick roadmaster 1993 and Caprice also ...

Is that Peter Graves narrating?

I just bought a 95 in 2023. Looking forward to it!

Omg this one is a classic! Looks so comfortable! Thanks for uploading this video!

...and I LOVE IT!

I just bought one. A '95 with 24,102 original miles on it that has been garaged it's entire life. My God what car... This is my second Roadmaster coming from a '96 Town Car that unfortunately lost its battle due to rust issues. Now that I have owned and driven both, I can say unequivocally that the Roadmaster, pound for pound is the superior car.

I used to have a Buick Roadmaster wagon and I'll always say it was the best car I ever owned.

the irony is the second gen of these could be easily modified into a 300hp+ murder machine

what a proprietary named car.king of the road.

Now my absolute dream wagon would be a 1990 estate wagon with those hon tomb looking rally wheels. Blue with wood paneling. I would pay top dollar!

Шикарная реклама. Аж захотелось по США проехать на Бьюике.

"This ain't the Road-master." :changes voice tone: "This is the *CAM*-MASTER!"

That's why I bought me a big ol 2010 Lincoln Town Car first year of the remodel second to the last year but still big with a v8 the way we like it! It now turn 48000 miles as of September 2010 I had to spend 450.00 on some routine maintenance I had to have the transmission serviced the radiator flushed and serviced and an oil change to the tune of $450 at Crater Lake Ford but it was worth it every 5 years is not bad at least not for the oil change that gets every 6 months

Tear's 👍 We can't go back. No matter how much we would like to.

I love the little touch that the kids were playing a game boy

Great video!

3:16 - Check out that factory Delco CD player...I guess a few Roadmasters were sold with this option, eh?

in my opinion this is a proper american car

Back when real cars could tow

2:11 When you drive a roadmaster station wagon you not need a truck for your home moving. Unbelievable much space in the car.

it's a caprice/impala in a Cadillac fur coat

I hear Peter Grave's voice, I recognize him from Airplane! and the Golden Girls.

2:55 "... as cozy as the living room", of course, you ARE driving the living room, with a huge closet in the back :) It should just change the name from Roadmaster to ... RV :)

Funny how the wagon didn’t look anything like the sedan. The sedan was very distinct from the caprice version but the wagon was basically a caprice with a different grille. I had a 96 Caprice with an LT1 in the day, great car overall, smooth ride. The weak links were the cheap interiors that looked cheap and produced lots of squeaks and rattles. That and the LT1 liked to eat water pumps.

AHHHHHHMAZING

I had a '95 version. I was looking for something more powerful than my '91 Town Car. Always loved full-size, V8-powered, RWD, bench-seated 'murrcan barges (been driving those cars since I was in my 20s) and the 5.7 L powertrain appealed to me. It did indeed get 25 mpg (and even a little bit more) when you stayed around 75-80 on the highway. The LT1 was powerful, sounded great and gave no trouble. In a confusing twist, while handling was better than you'd expect from a barge like that, it did not smooth out road imperfections very well and harshness and vibration came through to a degree that made the ride disappointing. The interior was a dreadful mess of rattly, flimsy plastics, rear seat legroom was laughable for a car of that size and overall fit & finish...oh well. I guess I was spoiled by that Town Car, which was super-smooth, super-quiet and still completely rattle-free even though I ran it well past 150,0000 miles. Unfortunately it was also rather underpowered which made me want for the sort of power the GM full-size cars offered. Too bad I couldn't get the Town Car ride and build quality with a GM Small Block powertrain.

Model years 1991-1996 Swing and Miss! Needed Retro styling.

Why can't we have a modern version of these cars??? They don't have to be sporty - just comfortable sedans for people to enjoy. Not everything needs to be a crossover!!

those good old days, shapeless clothing, siding-clad homes and cars looking properly american yet

Me dieron ganas de comprarmela😢

Where is this production and where are these antiques? ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

We never had those landyatchs in Europe (tho we had some great road cars too), so I don't have memories of it. But I miss the time when cars could have some understated, simple yet elegant looks, instead of trying to one-up each other in aggressiveness-looking like we see with today SUVs.

Normal Life ❤ normal kids normal cars we have to go back 😢

Love it

The Buick Boatmaster- A chevy Caprice with a Buick front and tail lights thrown on. I remember when these came out. Some of the panels were so flimsy and plastic. It was hilarious.

I really want Roadmaster Wagon with towing package 😏😏. Especially with woodgrain and wire wheel trims. Roadmaster is much greater than minavs of all time

Is this narrated by Peter Graves?

how Star Spangled apple pie is this I'm joking I love Buicks

Joey, have you ever been in a Buick Roadmaster?

Willard Elegant ( GTA SAN ANDREAS) Anyone

I have the 1992 Buick century custom station wagon.. essentially same thing only with a 3.3 v6 and front wheel drive. with no abs and airbags ha

I own one

Sure sounds like Peter Graves is the narrator.

7:17 soft close trunk? Nice. These are great used cars still ha.

Buick is slept on you ask me........they picked up where Cadillac left off....far as car's go today 9-2-2020

That's Peter Graves talking.

at 07:19 is that vacumm assist trunk? awesome

My mother's 1996 Roadmaster had a LOT of mechanical problems but it was fast ! We were glad to get rid of it.

Still see quite a few on the road. Clean, all beaten down or donks.

the most 90s thing ive ever seen lol

More like Road"trip"master.

Did the sedans ever get the wood treatment or was it just the statiowagons?

Wow...

A SW é linda

like a retirement home ad

nice white walls, in 1992!

16 miles per gallon...... drive that in europe !!!!!!! :)

As a young person in 1992, one couldn't help feeling that the big makers had given up entirely on trying to win our business...the roads were awash with white or burgundy coloured "old people cars". Senescence on wheels!

5:41 che carina che è la bambina col Game boy
