This 1939 Buick Roadmaster was acquired by actress Lynda Day George and her late husband, actor, and producer Doug Cronin in the 1970s. The car was later modified in the 1990s with work including repainting the body, reupholstering the interior, and installing a replacement front subframe, an aftermarket rear suspension, power front disc brakes, an Oldsmobile 350ci V8, and a TH350 three-speed automatic transmission. The car is finished in a color-shifting paint over black leather upholstery and features dual inset spare wheel covers, reverse-hinged rear doors, air conditioning, power front windows, power-assisted steering, 17″ American Racing wheels, aftermarket speakers, and a CD stereo. This modified Buick Roadmaster is now offered in Arizona by the seller on behalf of the owner with a Washington State title.
The body is finished in a color-shifting paint and is said to have been repainted in the 1990s. Features include a “waterfall” front grille, a missile-style hood ornament, venti-ports, Buick emblems, chrome bumpers and mirrors, rubber-covered running boards, headlight nacelles, dual inset spare wheel covers in the front fenders, reverse-hinged rear doors, and dual exhaust outlets that exit below the rear bumper. There are chips and scratches in the paint on the hood, doors, and fenders.
The 17″ American Racing Wheels are mounted with 245/45 General Exclaim tires. The car has been fitted with power steering, a replacement front subframe, and an aftermarket rear suspension with coil springs, shock absorbers, and a sway bar. Braking is handled by power-assisted front discs and rear drums.
The cabin features front and rear bench seats reupholstered in black leather joined by a color-coordinated dashboard, door panels, and carpets. Features include air conditioning, an analog clock, power front windows, a roof-mounted rear DVD player, aftermarket speakers, and a CD stereo.
The four-spoke steering wheel frames a 120-mph speedometer and gauges for fuel level, coolant temperature, oil pressure, and an ammeter. The five-digit mechanical odometer shows 3,500 miles, all of which have been added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.
The replacement Oldsmobile 350ci V8 was installed under current ownership and features an HEI-style distributor and a polished alternator, air cleaner assembly, and valve covers.
Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a TH350 three-speed automatic transmission and a 10-bolt Positraction rear axle. Corrosion is visible on exhaust system components.
The Washington State title lists an “Antique” brand.
