Vehicle Description
If you're a fan of chrome, hardtops, and cool cruising, then this
1955 Buick Century Riviera will certainly hold a special appeal. It
has that ideal classic look to ensure this coupe impresses
everywhere it goes. And it's even loaded with the right features,
including cold-blowing A/C and a recently serviced V8.
Dover White and Cherokee Red are the factory-correct colors that
perfectly showcase what premium 1950s classic motoring is all
about. After all, the white is sandwiched by a red that follows the
sweeping side trim as well as the red roof that shows off the
special hardtop that makes this a Riviera. It's believed that this
one was given a comprehensive frame-off restoration in the 1990s,
and it has been treated with respect ever since. That's how the
two-tone continues to radiate so nicely. So you know you're going
to love taking this one to the car shows. And with a shine this
nice, only the best brightwork will do. That means it is complete
and brilliant on the sweeping side trim; you get the famous four
portholes that signal this is a Century are bold standouts; and the
large and intricate grille has a 10,000-watt smile. As you look at
the wide whitewall tires, you see that even the wheel package
contributes to this coupe's red, white, and shine theme.
The red continues inside, and now its joined by shades of tasteful
gray. You can really tell the difference a comprehensive
restoration makes by the quality condition seen right down to the
details. In fact, the gray shows off both the premium and useful
side of this classic. It intertwines nicely on the seats with
comfortable cloth inserts and piping to contrast the red. Also, the
textures everywhere from the seatbacks to the door panels show off
a thoughtful total presentation. And the darker gray charcoal
carpeting means you won't be checking for dirty shoes before family
and friends go for a ride (and there's going to plenty of them
wanting to go along in this chrome king.) 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. The dash combines sporting
elements like machined panels with elegant dials for a
distinctively upscale appearance that still feels premium today.
And you're going to love all the original features this one has
including the AM radio that's there for display. Plus, you have the
true classic air conditioning system located in the trunk, and it
still knows how to keep the car cold! So feel free to roll down all
the windows on and show off the Riviera pillarless hardtop, even in
the summer.
Buick's 322 cubic-inch V8 is the correct motor for the coupe. So
you'll love how the engine bay looks authentic, including the blue
block, gloss black components, and correct decals. And the reason
this looks so clean and authentic is also the secret to why this
one is such a great cruiser today. There was a big investment
within the last year in comprehensive work. Includes fundamentals
that are new or rebuilt, such as an alternator, points distributor,
wires, plugs, fuel pump, valve covers, gaskets, belts, and a
four-barrel carburetor. It makes for an exceptional strong and
eager motor. Buick's Dynaflow transmission offers a smooth
operation and power steering is always welcomed in a cruising coupe
like this. Plus, there's more investments in the master cylinder
power brake pump, new brake lines, front shocks, springs, control
arms, bushings, and rear shocks. So this one feels terrific going
down the road.
This Buick hardtop has the look and investments of a well-respects
