1950 Buick Special Custom, click picture to enlarge.Hey people, I want to tell you something about this picture that comes from knowing more about this car than the publisher of the picture did. The publisher called this a Buick Roadmaster but I know that it is a Buick Special. Now how do I know more about it than the publisher does? that's simple to answer. First of all I was there when these cars were made and I know the difference between them. You see, the Buick Special had the three port holes in the hood but the Buick Roadmaster had four port holes in the hood. There were many other differences between the Special and the Roadmaster too. My sister learned to drive on a 1949 Buick Special. The Special was much smaller than the Roadmaster and handled much better in cornering, turning and braking. The Roadmaster was more costly and more luxuriously equipped. In those days, 1940's and 50's, moonshining was very common and the big Roadmaster was a favorite with the moonshiners because you could take the back seat out and carry about thirty five five gallon jugs of moonshine in the trunk and back seat area.
