Car Forum / GMC Cars / December 2005Bring Back the Roadmaster
It made sense. Buick was a road car, so they called it a Roadmaster. Perfect name. Chevrolet was a low priced entry level car. So make a Business Coupe. Pontiac was the next step up. Name it the Chieftain. Olds was a high powered car, so call it the Rocket 88. Buick Roadmaster. LaSalle. Bring back this wondrous automobile. Name it the LaSalle. Cadillac. Go to Watts and count the Caddies going into the welfare office parking lot. This is the one GM make that should be dropped now and forever because its synonomous with darkies. Stick the Northstar engine in the LaSalle so all won't go to waste. In the 50' s the Roadmaster had the nickname, Roadbastard. Daddy-O had a 50 Roadbastard. I doubt you'll see a new one now. Hell, even all the Cadillac names are gone now - replaced with three letters names. The Buick Lucerne commercials are reallly being shown in the Chicago area now.

[quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > 05 Park Avenue, 32,672 > 91 Bonneville LE 304,744 I'm never sure what those French Buick names are meant to suggest. Is it supposed to mean they will never quit running? >> In the 50' s the Roadmaster had the nickname, Roadbastard. Daddy-O had >> a 50 Roadbastard.

I needed that to relax and go to sleep. Thx, Al. s > >> In the 50' s the Roadmaster had the nickname, Roadbastard. Daddy-O had > >> a 50 Roadbastard. [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > LMAO! I needed that to relax and go to sleep. Thx, Al. s My friend bought a 56 Roadmaster a few years ago and spent a fortune getting it roadworthy and keeping it on the road. Looking at reminds me why I hated the NA car styling of the 50s, a decade of cars I didn't buy. It also tells me why I hate the styling of the look alike Chrysler 300. Of course my friend has continual problems keeping the Roadmaster roadworthy. I've pointed out to him that for it's value he could get a modern look alike Chrysler 300. > In the 50' s the Roadmaster had the nickname, Roadbastard. Daddy-O had > a 50 Roadbastard.

They look like nice cars, at least as much as one can tell from a TV ad. |
