HIGHLIGHTS: Wow! Nicely restored and preserved '56 Buick! Same
family 20+ years! Turn-key four door family cruiser! Movie car!
BODY OVERVIEW: Partially restored in the early 2000s, this Buick
shows very, very well. The body is straight and appears to be free
of major damages. With about 10 miles of chrome on this car, you're
bound to find an imperfection somewhere, but as a whole the body,
bumpers, and trim are in great condition! Imperfections are shown
in the photos.
PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW: Finished in its original two-tone colors
of Castle Grey and Dove White, this Buick really shines in the
paint department-literally! Although this car is wearing an older
repaint, it presents extremely well and seriously delivers on the
shine. As can be seen in the photos, some paint imperfections are
present but extremely minimal.
INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW: The interior of this Buick is the area
that really speaks to how much of this car is still original,
despite the partial restoration. The seats have been recovered, but
it appears that only the cloth was replaced and the red vinyl may
be original to the car. If it is original red vinyl, it is in
astounding condition! Most of the hardware appears to be good
quality original parts that were cleaned and/or refinished. The
headliner is certainly original, and does have some visible
staining as shown in the photos.
MECHANICAL OVERVIEW: Mechanically, this car functions as expected.
The Buick V8 engine runs smoothly, the transmission shifts well,
and it has been preserved beautifully. While this car certainly
doesn't drive like a modern car, it is important to remember that
Buicks had more of a luxury status in 1956 than they do now, so
this car drives and rides very comfortably.
WHAT YOU'LL LOVE ABOUT THIS CAR: The contrast of the low-key paint
colors and the miles of bright chrome! Plus this car was
purportedly featured as a background vehicle in the 2002 movie
Catch Me If You Can!
WHAT YOU MIGHT HATE ABOUT THIS CAR: If you like fresh, 100% new
nuts and bolts restored vehicles this is probably not for you.
DOES IT NEED ANYTHING? Nothing but a new owner!
WHAT BUYER IS LOOKING FOR THIS CAR? Anyone looking to get into a
reasonably priced, turn-key 1950s icon!

omissions, or inaccuracies contained in information provided by
third parties. The majority of these vehicles are considered

for any repairs needed to the vehicle and it's the buyers sole
responsibility for any repairs that might be needed.
If marked "Numbers Matching" or "Original Mileage", the
consignor(current owner) states this vehicle as such. Given how
easy it is to create a "clone" or "tribute", we cannot guarantee
the authenticity of any and all claims. Customer is encouraged to
verify this information on their own, prior to purchase.
We can assist you in delivery through our network of private and
commercial carriers most of which can deliver the vehicle to your
driveway. We assume no responsibility for damages or delays
incurred once a vehicle is in a shipper's custody.
Because we advertise each vehicle with so many third-party
affiliates, it is the customer's sole responsibility to verify the
accuracy of the price with the dealer. All advertised prices
exclude local, state, government fees and taxes and dealer
documentation fee. Pricing is subject to change without notice. A
dealer documentation fee of $250 will be added to the purchase
price at the time of sale.
Vehicle availability is not guaranteed and subject to prior sale.
Regardless what is agreed to verbally, we cannot guarantee a
vehicle will be held for a potential buyer without a non-refundable
deposit collected to hold the vehicle. Contact the dealership about
pricing to place a deposit on a vehicle.
Our preferred and most secure form of payment is a bank wire
transfer. We can accept checks, but note that any form of a check
will have a minimum hold of 10 business days. This includes
cashier's checks, certified checks, or bank checks of any kind. For
cash received in the amount of $10,000 or more, we will complete an
IRS Form 8300. We can not accept any credit card as payment or
partial payment for a vehicle under any circumstance.
