Vehicle Description

4713-TPA 1953 BUICK SPECIAL CUSTOM ROADSTER

This 1953 Buick Special Custom Roadster showcases the art of automotive customization. Originally a symbol of post-war American luxury, this Special has been transformed into a unique blend of classic style and modern performance. Its Torch Red paint amplifies every curve of the customized body. A chopped windshield and bumper delete create a streamlined silhouette, while bullet-style tail lights and custom clear headlights add contemporary flair. The frenched license plate and antenna contribute to its clean, uncluttered look. Rolling on 15" Dayton wire wheels wrapped in 205/75R15 tires, this Buick strikes an impressive balance between vintage elegance and modern road presence.

The interior showcases a bold red and white two-tone leather design. Custom bucket seats, sourced from Thunderbird and Cadillac models, offer both style and comfort. An updated dash houses an enhanced AutoMeter gauge cluster, complemented by an aftermarket steering wheel on a tilt column for precise control. Modern tech includes an AM/FM/AUX stereo system with DVD player and navigation, plus rear headphone jacks in the center console. Custom pillows in the back seat add a luxurious touch to this already impressive cabin.

A 350 V8 engine, pulled from a 1993 Buick Roadmaster, powers this classic. It's fitted with throttle body fuel injection for improved performance and reliability. The engine pairs with a 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission, delivering effortless acceleration and cruising. Power steering and brakes ensure responsive handling, while the dual exhaust system with turbo mufflers produces a satisfying rumble. A custom air breather and belt-driven cooling fan with radiator keep the engine running efficiently in all conditions.
