Ah, Buick's designers saw the light and got rid of the ugly '42-'48 butt. I love this one!

I wonder if this was the basis for FM's version

FM's version was a Roadmaster, not a Super...
...the Roadmaster had 4 ventiports, while the Super had 3.

One of the "portholes" fell off my FM Roadmaster so now I have a Super ! :):)

And the Roadmaster gained the sweepspear side trim, after the Riviera hardtop was introduced. The Roadmaster also rode a longer wheelbase, reflecting its larger OHV straight-eight engine.

See my reply to Doug Ford in the '48 Olds 98 topic for more insight into Buick's decision to wait a year before introducing the new body in the Super and Roadmaster series.
