1957 Buick Roadmaster

A symbol of postwar prestige and jet-age Americana, the 1957 Buick Roadmaster was built to turn heads and command roads.

By the late 1950s, Buick had established itself as a brand for those who had made it—but didn’t need to brag. The Roadmaster, sitting at the top of Buick’s lineup, embodied that identity. With its dramatic chrome detailing, sweeping side panels, and signature “VentiPorts,” the 1957 model was bold, beautiful, and unmistakably American.

This particular Roadmaster entered Dr. Osei Kwame Despite’s collection as a celebration of a golden age in automotive craftsmanship. Its jet-age silhouette and powerhouse engine reflect an era when car design was unapologetically expressive. For Dr. Despite, it’s more than a car—it’s rolling nostalgia, capturing a time when success had style.
