Buick history. Buick Y- Job Convertible - Since 1938 every major automaker has produced dream cars or one-shot prototypes of futuristic autos. Yet none of the ones built in the last 70 years has been as influential as the first one, the 1938 Buick Y-Job. Built to test options being considered for future mass production, the Buick Y-Job featured power steering, power windows, and power convertible top, all features that would become standard in subsequent decades. But it was the look of the Harley Earl designed, George Snyder drawn and modeled Buick Y-Job that establishes it’s legend today. No running boards, flush door handles, disappearing headlights, smaller 13" tires, and horizontal chrome speed lines, gave Buick a long and low profile that influenced automobile designers for decades to come.
Buick Roadmaster Convertible; Buick Looks Fine For '49 - After 3 years of work, 1949 marked the first new post-war styling for General Motor’s cars.

From its aircraft-inspired low silhouette, Art Deco taillights, 25 tooth "Dollar Grin" grille, and for the very first time, its legendary 4 "Ventiports", the design was completely new. Under the engine the changes were as dramatic. Not only did the Buick Roadmaster come with the Fireball straight-8 150 horsepower engine, but also Dynaflow Drive, the worlds first conventional torque converter automatic transmission.
