Quote from Original Literature

1950 Buick Sales Brochure
If a car is more than a means of going places for you - if you like to turn heads as you travel - Buick designed the 1950 Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon (Model 79) for you. Superb smartness in an eye-striking combination of mahogany veneers and stout metal. The car that makes doormen snap to attention.

1950 Buick Colors

The favorite colors of 1950 were Grey, Green and Blue – very common for the 50s.
