Vehicle Description
1953 Buick Special Riviera Two Door Hardtop. Finished in rich
Burgundy paint accented by a clean Gray cloth interior. Power comes
from the 110-hp, 248-cid OHV straight-eight engine and the shifting
is done through the optional Dynaflow automatic transmission. This
Buick features the famous push button under gas pedal starter,
factory tissue dispensor, and steel wheels with spoke Buick covers
wrapped in wide whitewall tires. The Buick Special was the last
model to receive a new full-width body, in mid-1949 as a 1950
model. Before that the Specials were basically Fisher B-bodies
dating back to 1941. The new model was introduced with a
"snaggle-tooth" grille, which spilled down over the bumper and was
also fitted to Super and Roadmaster models. Specials had three
"ventiports" on the hood sides. The 1953 Specials were divided into
two lines. The base model had no body-side moldings, while the
Special Deluxe had trim, bright window outlines and "Special"
script on the front fenders. Three body styles were available in
the Special line, with four in the Special Deluxe. Each had a
fastback, or "Jetback," two-and four-door, as well as a
conventional notchback four-door touring sedan. There were no
Special convertibles or station wagons and the top seller was the
four-door touring sedan with 141,396 sales. Please call Coast Motor
