The 1949 Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon was the rarest of the 1949 Buick station wagons, with only 653 made — including 21 that were built for export. Overall, only 2,500 station wagons were built. They were also the most expensive at $3,734. That’s $500 more than the next costliest model, the $3,203 Riviera.
