GTP Cool Wall: 1991-1996 Buick Roadmaster

[synchromesh]

Only @Custom878 would nominate a car like this.

 

[GTPorsche]

Land barges are seriously uncool.

 

[GranTurismo916]

I really, really like this car. But it can't be Sub Zero. Cool.

 

[Badasp5.0]

Uncool even though I like these. A friend had a '90s roadmaster sedan with a LT1 in HS and it hung with my Cobra. (Granted the roadmaster had quite a few mods)

 

[motortrend]

I'd love to own one of these with a modded LT1 and some wide tires, would make a great sleeper. However, this is not cool at all. SU

 

[OHM_fusion]

Cool. (But I'm biased). It's the typical example of classic American car design that America will never make again.

 

[Roger the Horse]

Rear saves it from seriously uncool.

 

[Sage Ages]

This is Americana at it's finest. A pale blue/beige sedan or station wagon with (fake) wood paneling and a V8 from a police car. Cool.

 

[Heldenzeit]

LT1s are cool, overall its a big meh.

Proof that anything looks good lowered with different wheels.

 

[Tornado]

I think late model B-bodies really stretch the definition of sleeper. Any one that isn't rusted into the ground or on 24 inch wheels probably has some work done to it just like 80s Regals.

 

[Tyger]

I'm not even totally sure why I like this car, perhaps because it's a 90s US barge that still has the wood trim typical of the 70s and 80s, but also looks really comfy and even quite practical. It's all about context and in isolation I like it, and dropped on a UK road I think this makes a cool (it helps that I saw some V8-sounding older station wagon blow past me outside my house today, no idea what it was though)

 

[Leggy1]

Everything that's bad about American cars.

And wood, on the outside. In the 90's.

SU.

 

[Crash]

Blobby blob whale with fake wood paneling. Uncool.

Though its sibling, the Impala SS, would get a cool.

 

[Beeblebrox237]

For some reason I quite like this car. It does the whole land barge thing very well, and being an estate makes it even better. However, making this car go fast seems stupid. I'd be scared to do more than 40 mph in it, it's so big and soft. The powertrain is as comedic as the size. It's seriously uncool for pretty obvious reasons, but I have to say, if I ever did a massive road trip in the US I would seriously consider something ridiculous like this.

 

[Snorevette]

Meh, but a high meh. I think it's kinda neat but not enough to be saved from mediocrity.

 

[MoLiEG]

Not exactly ugly, and it isn't pretty either.

But then I looked at the power figures...

Uncool.

 

[Sage Ages]

But then I looked at the power figures...

power figures

power

 

[savage388]

I have a massive soft spot for these things, it's so ugly it's awesome and it's a wagon. With a v8. SZ

 

[Niku Driver HC]

Ah yes, the Roadmaster. There is good reason for a name like that, it's that this car is so damm big and heavy people will think you're actually a truck driver. Either that or they'll think that you are a desperate soccer mom that couldn't buy a Grand Voyager. Yes, you can have one with a Corvette engine and yes, you can pull crazy burnouts with it. But if you want to do that, why not buy a Corvette in the first place?

Barely manages it, the ROADMASTAH gets a uncoolAH from me.

 

[Joey D]

A Caprice wagon would maybe be cool, the Buick version, not so much.

 

[MatskiMonk]

Bland wagon, featuring wood. Seriously un-cool.

 

[Legro]

Wood trim... in the 90s?

 

[LXM3500]

Let's throw six grand pianos in the back and have eighteen of our friends come along with us to our new house 400 miles down the road. Anyone care for some back-seat tennis?

My point is, this doesn't have the most power of any wagon on Earth, that much is true. But it's so big there's literally NOTHING you can't do with it. Speaking of big, I'm sure that's a whole Sequoia tree on the side of it.

[Dagger311]

Uncool. The V8 saves it from SU.
