On a 1996 Buick Roadmaster wagon as far as I know a brake controller would need to be hardwired in. The car is not pre-wired for a brake controller so in order to install one you will need a few items. First, you will need a 4-Way trailer wiring harness, # C55352, unless the vehicle already has one.
Using this harness (or a factory 4-Way on the vehicle if so equipped) you would then need to install a 4 and 7 way installation kit # ETBC7. This will add a 7-Way and provide the wiring for... view full answer...
I highly recommend going with the Tekonsha P3 # 90195 because its one of the most popular and highest rated brake controllers we currently offer. It has a LCD display and it will be very user friendly.

For a 1994 Buick Roadmaster we offer one trailer hitch. It is the Class ll Curt Trailer Hitch, part # C12009. This trailer hitch has a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening.
For this hitch a tech note form Curt states that all non-trailer loads - bike racks, cargo carriers and so forth - should be supported with stabilizing straps, like part # 18050. Failure to properly support these loads will void your hitch warranty from Curt.
For replacement hardware for a trailer hitch you can type # RHK... view full answer...
I do have an option for you, however the Draw-Tite Class III Max-Frame Hitch Receiver # 75676 referenced in your question is designed for certain model year Lexus vehicles and will not fit your Buick Roadmaster Wagon.
