Buick Roadmaster 1957

The 1957 Buick Roadmaster Riviera two-door hardtop, model 76A. The 364 cu in Nailhead V8: 10.0:1, a four-barrel, 300 bhp at 4600 rpm and 400 lb-ft at 3200. Variable Pitch Dynaflow (a 1.82/1.00 two-speed, as Assetto Corsa has no torque converter), 3.07 torque-tube axle, ball-joint double wishbones in front, a live rear axle on coil springs with radius rods and a track bar, 12 in power drums, power steering, 8.00-15 tubeless whitewalls, 127.5 in wheelbase, 4427 lb. The physics are written from the 1957 factory figures.

The cabin is rebuilt after photos of real cars: the 1957 horizontal speedometer with working temperature, oil pressure, ammeter and fuel gauges, the dashboard clock and odometer, green turn indicators, chrome bell controls, the COLD RANGE and HEAT RANGE selectors, the Wonder Bar radio, the POWER STEERING horn cap, the Dynaflow quadrant and three working mirrors.

Eleven skins: 1957 Buick two-tones, named as Buick named the colours, each with a factory 76A interior trim (green, blue, black and ivory, grey, or rust and ivory).

This car is open to anybody who wants to improve it: its SVN repository on SourceForge holds the installable car folder. Work directly in the KN5 model and the data files.
