Buick Century Fireball V8 1955

General description : 1955 Buick Century The Buick Century was a model name dedicated to Buick's upscale full size vehicles.  They were produced from many years but there were often gaps in their release.  The 1st generation spanned from 1936 to 1941, the second generation from 1954 to 1958 and then subsequent generations from 1973 onwards to 2005.  When they introduced the name in 1954 the idea was to take the smaller, lighter Buick Special body and combine it with the most powerful motor they had at the time.  The intent was to introduce a luxurious but high performance Buick.  This Buick Century belongs to that second generation and is a really neat car.  The body is solid and wears that classic 50's Blue and White color combination that has been redone by the current owner.  This was an era of lots of chrome and these Buicks certainly weren't lacking any with their large bumpers, swooping side trim and of course those classy 4 portholes on the front fenders.  All of the paint and bright work on this car have a nice shine throughout.  The glass is all in good condition throughout and dropping the side windows allows plenty of breeze with that open hardtop roofline.  Under all four corners the car rides on a set of its original wheels and hubcaps with new thin white wall tires. Powering the car is Buick's largest offering at the time the 322 ci 5.3L "Fireball" OHV V8 motor.  It has been dressed up with nice finned valve covers, a finned air cleaner, and Holley 4 barrel carburetor.  The engine was resealed and runs well.  Paired up with the motor is a 2 speed Dynaflow automatic transmission that shifts smoothly and has been fully rebuilt.  The car has factory power steering and the brakes/suspension are stock and working properly.    The interior is complete in White upholstery and has a split bench seat with a bench in rear.  It is in good shape as is the carpet which is done in Blue.  It has been redone in the past prior to the current owner.  The dash is nicely painted and topped off with all of its stock components.  These cars had a lot of cool, almost airplane like, control levers for things like the heater/defroster and all of that is still in place.  All of the original gauges are there and the odometer shows 52,777 miles on the odometer.  The original 4 spoke steering wheel looks good and has the chrome Buick horn ring.  The trunk allows a ton of additional storage and houses an original spare. This cool classic Buick has a lot of style and is ready for a new garage to call home. Take it home for $37,500.00!
