About the Buick Roadmaster 80-C Four Door Phaeton Blue Metallic BoS Models 1:18

TL;DR: BoS Models' 1:18 resin Buick Roadmaster 80-C Four Door Phaeton in blue metallic reproduces a rare open-touring body style from Buick's first Roadmaster year, 1937. Sealed resin construction, small-batch production, and long pre-war proportions make this a distinctive anchor for a vintage American luxury display.

The four-door phaeton was already a fading body style by 1937, and BoS Models chose one of the more unusual survivors of that format to reproduce. Blue metallic over long, open-touring coachwork makes for an eye-catching pre-war centrepiece.

BoS Models' Resin Take on an Open-Touring Rarity

This is sealed resin construction, and on a phaeton body the choice makes particular sense: the long, unbroken flanks and low windscreen frame benefit from the sharp, hinge-free lines resin allows, without the seams a diecast equivalent would need for opening doors on a body this size. The model carries genuine heft for resin despite being lightweight compared to diecast of the same footprint, and the metallic blue paint sits deep enough under direct light to show real depth rather than a flat wash. BoS Models has carved out a niche specialising in exactly this kind of overlooked pre-war and post-war classic, subjects too specialised for mass-market diecast producers to bother with, and a four-door phaeton variant is a good example of that focus. No opening doors or bonnet here, a fair trade for the crisp panel work on offer.

Buick's Roadmaster Nameplate and the Phaeton Body

Buick introduced the Roadmaster name in 1936 as its senior full-size line, and the Series 80 cars that followed for 1937 sat near the top of that range. The four-door phaeton, an open touring body with removable or folding side windows rather than fixed glass, was already being phased out across the American industry in favour of enclosed sedans, making it one of the shorter-lived body styles Buick offered that year. Its length and low beltline give the Roadmaster a stretched, formal silhouette that a closed sedan of the same period simply does not carry, and that distinction is exactly why the phaeton variant holds particular interest for pre-war collectors.

Placing a Phaeton in a Pre-War Collection

Among vintage American classics, this Roadmaster earns its place through body style rarity as much as brand prestige, a genuine alternative to the more commonly reproduced closed sedans of the era. BoS Models' resin pricing reflects the small production runs behind it, a fair cost for a subject unlikely to appear from a mass-market diecast producer.
