Insane power Corvette LS3 V8 in the 1992 Buick Roadmaster Estate (47 photos + 1 video)
The Buick Roadmaster is a throwback to the days when the roads huge cruisers ruled. Thanks to the LS3 V8 engine, this station wagon went from an old man to a tire-destroying grandfather. 
In the 1990s, for a new line of models, consisting of a large sedan and incredibly huge station wagon, Buick "got it from the mezzanine" name Roadmaster. In the late 1980s, gasoline prices fell in the US society woke up nostalgia for cars class Full-size. New Roadmaster (sister Chevrolet Caprice Classic) station wagon was the largest Buick car at that time and allowed comfortable travel on American roads in the company of up to 8 people! IN “pre-crossover” era, it was precisely such cars that Americans preferred families. 
The car is huge and heavy, and if you seat a large person for each available space, the asphalt under the wheels will begin crack, so the cars were equipped with a 5.7-liter V8. Power was only 170 horsepower, but by 1994 260 were available horses. By modern standards, not God knows what, but it was possible to ride! 
Under the hood of this particular car is a 6.2-liter LS3 E-Rod V8 with 430 horsepower. The idea to equip a family station wagon engine from the Chevrolet Corvette was sold by the owner at the end 2021.

All versions of the Roadmaster station wagon received a finish "under tree”, which today makes such cars a true classic. IN early XX century, when there was still not enough rolled steel, side body station wagon panels began to be made of wood and it was beautiful. So time, the issues of supplying the necessary raw materials were resolved, but the wooden trim was retained as a luxury option. The tree later became stickers…

The spare wheel is lost in a huge niche 
It is clearly not very comfortable to sit here, but it is better to go badly than to go well! 
The tailgate can be opened in two ways, which is extremely convenient, and the volume of the trunk is such that when moving the truck it was possible to do not call. Well, to appreciate the coziness and comfort of the car, you just need to check out the salon! A true American classic.
I immediately heard the creak of leather seats ... 
The sunroof is located above the second row of seats 
Unfortunately, with the growing popularity of SUVs and crossovers in the mid-1990s, large station wagons began to die out as a class. 
The Buick Roadmaster was discontinued in 1996. Of course, GM's big sedans and station wagons are widely known and loved, at least thanks to the film industry, but the canonized Buick Roadmaster - this, however, is not a station wagon from the 1990s, but a 1949 convertible of heroes feature film "Rain Man" with Tom Cruise and Dustin Hoffman.
