Vehicle Description
Vintage style, upgraded V8 power and modern A/C comfort is all
wrapped in a beautifully coordinated package. This 1955 Buick
Roadmaster is ready to hit the road in comfort.
Buick just seemed to have the best sense of premium style in the
1950s, and they were hardly subtle about it. The range-topping
Roadmaster did it the best with more fender portholes and those
Dagmars that were truly sex appeal on wheels. It only gets better
in the Riviera specification. It starts with the Cadet Blue paint
that's sandwiched in between the two areas of white. This is a very
intricate two-tone layout, so we are happy to see someone properly
investing in a high quality respray that took the time to get it
right. And as a Buick fan, we know you love how the trim is used to
create an elegant profile. It forms a border for the colors and
also makes the dip in the door line mimic the slope of the roof.
Plus, as a true '50s machine, the tailfins are intricate to the
design, and it's even properly finished off with whitewalls and
wire wheels.
When you open the door, the way these heavy steel pieces still hold
true to the body tells you there have been quality investments
here. And as you look inside, it only gets better. The interior
keeps the same blue and white attitude as the exterior to give you
a fantastically coordinated total package. The seating is the
perfect mix - easy care white vinyl with comfortable blue cloth
inserts for where you sit. And with the amount of room in this
luxury sedan, it's the perfect classic to enjoy with family and
friends. Plus, upgrades like an AM/FM stereo with digital tuner and
R134a air conditioning means everyone gets to stay comfortable. But
even with these upgrades, this one never loses its vintage
atmosphere. The Buick crest steering wheel is thin and has that
kind of instant sense of grip that we seemed to have lost over the
years. And Buick's design team really hit a home run with the
entire dash. The appearance combines sporting elements like
machined panels with elegant dials for a distinctively upscale
appearance that still feels premium today.
Under the hood, the classic finned valve covers with coordinating
blue inserts certainly looks vintage. But as you dig deeper, it
becomes clear this Buick has been upgraded to small block power.
That means this trusty 350 cubic-inch V8 can easily accept upgrades
like the Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, Weiand intake, and
upgraded pulleys. This total package really gives the dual exhaust
some extra bass. But more than just nice power and sound, this was
upgraded to be a great all-around driver. That's why you have power
steering, power brakes, and a three-speed automatic transmission.
There's even a Wizard aluminum radiator to keep this classic
running cool if you're in traffic with the A/C pumping.
This is the luxury classic that has been upgraded for shine,
comfort, and all-around drivability. You don't want to miss this
