Vehicle Description
The Buick Special really lives up to its name today when you get an
example like this. After all, this was the introductory year of the
Riviera hardtop style, and there is just something irresistibly
cool about pulling up to the car show and being able to showcase
opening all four doors with no pillar in the center. In fact, this
roof is central to the design with the dip in the door line and the
side chrome trim both mimicking its arc. It's the kind of look that
reminds you that true art was on the road in the 1950s. And it's
this same feeling for why you can get such a beautifully
coordinated two-tone color theme inside and out. Starting to get
the full picture here? The 1955 Buick Special Riviera was one of
the most impressive designs of its era, and this example has made
sure it continues to be exceptionally striking today.

the two best colors around. And it has all the best details, like
wraparound glass (front and rear), fender portholes, and whitewall
tires. Plus, nothing beats all that glittering chrome. There's an
authenticity to this one, right down to the classic dealer tag on
the trunk. So if you love a premium true vintage cruiser with real
distinction, you know how special this Buick Special really is.
