Stevens reassembled the car keeping as close to factory specifications as possible. He then carefully reworked each individual panel, as required, before applying five coats of black acrylic enamel. Mark Stevens, one of Arizona's premier body and paint specialists, disassembled the car. The engine, transmission and rear end were all completely rebuilt. The wood was then carefully refitted onto the car for the final finishing process. Eight coats of marine spar varnish were applied with hand sanding occurring between each layer. Heiden achieved a precision fit of the wood on the car, each piece was carefully removed for the very important varnishing process. Using the old original pieces of wood as patterns, he very carefully handcrafted each individual new piece of wood to create a fit and finish second to none. Ron Heiden, one of America's foremost automotive woodworkers, carefully selected the very best pieces of white ash available 'in the rough'. During this 2½ year restoration virtually everything that could be done was attended to including one of the most important aspects of a Woody restoration - the wood!
A meticulous, no expense spared restoration to the highest standards was just completed on the car. The stunning example offered here was originally a California car that was put into storage in the 1970s showing approximately 58,000 miles on the odometer. There are thought to be approximately fifteen of the 1953 Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagons left in the world today. The production numbers for the 1953 Buick Estate Wagons were only 1,830 Supers and a miniscule 670 Roadmasters. The two cars are easily distinguished from each other: the Super has three portholes on each front fender, while the Roadmaster has four portholes. In 1953 Buick offered two models of Estate wagons, the Super and the Roadmaster. These factors, combined with Buick's beautiful styling, make this one of the most desirable and sought after Woody station wagons ever produced. Remarkably, in addition to the first Buick V8 engine and the first use of a 12 volt electrical system, the 1953 Buick Estate Wagon was the very last Woody station wagon offered by an American automobile manufacturer. With V8 engines rapidly gaining popularity, it was quite natural that Buick would celebrate its golden anniversary by introducing a modern overhead valve V8 engine.
