In 1956 General Motors had 5 separate divisions, ranked in order from least to most expensive were...
Chevrolet, Pontiac, Oldsmobile, Buick and Cadillac
I think it only fitting to pay respect to the Gentleman most believe helped to create the modernAutomobile, Harley J. Earl. At the age of 13 in 1953, my parents took me to the GM Motorama exhibition inNY and it forever cemented my love affair with the automobile.
Harley was born on November 22nd, 1893 in Hollywood, California. His Father, J. W. Earl had foundedEarl Auto Works in 1889. Harley learned from his Father the art of coach building and would go on tostudy at Stanford University.
Lawrence Fisher, GM of Cadillac learned of Harley's talent and commissioned him in 1927 to design the LaSalle.The Cadillac LaSalle would become Cadillac's companion Marquee.
When Alfred P. Sloan saw the success of the Cadillac LaSalle, later in 1927 he requested the creation of the "Art & Color Section" andappointed Harley J. Earl as it's 1st director. Harley would continue for many years with General Motors and those whorealize what Harley accomplished at GM, credit him with the creation of the modern automobile.
In 1937 GM changed the name to its "Styling Section" and promoted Earl to VP. In 1939 Harley and his design team createdthe 1st concept car...the Buick "Y-Job"
Harley created the first "finned" automobiles and his "Opel" project later became the Chevrolet Corvette.
There aremany wonderful books on Harley J. Earl and his incredible accomplishments.
Buick was always near and dear to Harley, as was Cadillac. This is evidenced by the gorgeous design of this 1956Buick 70 Series Roadmaster Convertible.
I have had the pleasure to drive this car from W. Palm Beach to Boca Raton and it drives as good as it looks!
The stunning two tone "Art Deco" paint scheme of Tahiti Coral and Dover white is spectacular. This car was paintedwith a "blank checkbook" The Chrome, trim, brightwork, glass, etc. was done to show standards. The doors, hood, trunkall fit nicely....if someone gave you a rust free example of a 1956 Buick series 70 Roadmaster convertible and youwanted to have it restored as nice as this car was done, you will NOT be getting any change from $100,000.
That iswhy it makes sense to buy a car all done like this Roadmaster.Put in the key, turn it to the center start position, and gentlypress down on the gas pedal and the Nailhead V-8 cranks right up.
Let it idle for a couple of minutes to warm up, and yourready to create some great "Garage Memories" of your own.
Make sure to bring the wife and kids, drop the top, and life life like it was back in the "FABULOUS 50's"
The power options, like the windows, seat and power top all work correctly. I forgot to turn on the AM
radio so not positive if it works. I will check it out and add the results to this auction. We would recommend a small modernname brand 160W stereo system with Blue Tooth, remote andCD player. We have had 100's of these systems installed overthe past 15 years at a speciality auto stereo shopin Pompano Beach, FL. and we can have a great sounding complete systeminstalled for $500-$600 without drilling any holesor cutting into any door or kick panels. They know how fussy we are with allour vintage cars and treat them carefully and with loving care.
