1937 Buick Roadmaster at Canadian Automotive... - www.insideottawavalley.com/
A 1937 Buick Roadmaster convertible phaeton is currently on display at the Canadian Automotive Museum located at 99 Simcoe St. S. in Oshawa. Like Henry Ford, he started three successive companies to produce cars, only the third of which was successful and became the Buick Motor Company. “For 1937, Buick built four models: The Special Series 40, the Century Series 60, the Roadmaster Series 80, and the Limited Series 90. Our feature car was recently donated to the museum. Wondering if the car at the museum is the same 1937 Buick Roadmaster convertible phaeton I remember being owned years ago by Bob James of Whitby, Ontario, I contacted Alan Willison of Oshawa for help. Alan owns a very rare 1937 McLaughlin-Buick Roadmaster phaeton built in Oshawa and slated for restoration. He confirmed the car at the museum was indeed owned by Bob James and gave me Bob’s phone number. Over the years, he rounded up many rare NOS (new old stock) parts to aid in its restoration, including a brand new front fender. He found a new centre section for the grille in Hershey, PA. He also bought new tires and rims and had the grille and bumpers rechromed. Bob sold the car around 2002 to Dan Bell of Oshawa, who restored it and later donated it to the.
