This Buick Roadmaster from Cienfuegos with its huge, streamlined material part is a sign of a duration when everything seemed possible, and the coming time looked no distinct than bright. The next to the first world war was over and the good husbandry in the U.S. on an steep upswing into the 50s. America's car manufacturers had in fact stopped the civilized car production until 1945.
