Buick Roadmaster

The Roadmaster's final two model years (1995-1996) on the GM B-body platform — covered here within the site's post-1995 scope. Body-on-frame full-size architecture shared with Chevrolet Caprice and Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham. Two body styles: four-door sedan and Estate wagon (with woodgrain sides standard, available delete-for-credit). LT1 5.7L V8 — the same Corvette/Camaro engine, detuned with iron heads and torque-tuned cam, 260 hp / 335 lb-ft (300 lb-ft city torque). 4L60E four-speed automatic. RWD only. Estate wagons offered up to 8-passenger seating with rear-facing third row, Vista Roof, and could tow 7,000 lb with weight-distributing hitch. The 1996 model year was the final one — production ended at GM's Arlington, Texas plant when the facility was converted to SUV/pickup production. Total 1991-1996 production over 200,000 cars; final-year (1996) figures were modest. Now firmly a cult collector classic — Estate wagons especially have appreciated meaningfully, with clean low-mile examples regularly $15-25k+. The 'Sleeper Wagon' nickname stuck because the LT1 V8 outpunched the contemporary BMW M3 in stock form.
