Danbury Mint offered several Roadmaster models for 1947 & 1948. They were available in an Estate Wagon & Convertible for 1947 and for 1948, convertibles and sedanette coupes in a couple of colors. For 1953, several Skylarks (included in the Roadmaster series) and the Estate Wagon in two colors. For 1956, they offered a convertible and a hardtop sedan. It's too bad that more were not offered. A prominent name in the Buick lineup for many years, more would have been most welcomed.

Today's post is featuring a few shots of DMs Hardtop Sedan - 1956 Buick Roadmaster Riviera Hardtop Sedan in Seminole Red, Cameo Beige & Carlsbad Black - a very imposing model and the only one offered in a 3-tone paint treatment in this scale.

I don't know how I missed this one.  But I think I like it better than the 2 door version.  Maybe it is just the paint job.
