Quote from Original Literature

1953 Buick Sales Brochure
The long, low look and sweeping lines of the Golden Anniversary Roadmaster are fully evident in this view of the Convertible model. You make the most of any season, any weather, in this airy beauty. Hydraulic controls position the top and the windows where you want them, and adjust the front seat to your liking. Combined ‘slide-away,’ ‘tilt-away’ feature of front seat permits far easier access to rear compartment.
