Message: Randal, for further information, Conquest did make, years ago a 1957 Buick Roadmaster 75 4 door hardtop, not easy to find now, and the only other Roadmaster they made and which I know of is a 1952 Woody Estate Wagon. I'm after 1951 to 1953 Roadmaster Sedans,hardtops and convertibles, hoping they will be released one day!
