For Sale: 1955 Buick Special in Lavergne, Tennessee

Vehicle Description

American automotive excellence captured perfectly - this 1955 Buick Special Riviera displays its black and red two-tone paint with classic mid-century style. The hardtop design features clean lines and impressive proportions that defined Buick's premium position in the market. Polished chrome brightwork creates striking contrast against the paint, while substantial bumpers add to the visual impact. The 15" American Racing wheels complement the overall look without compromising the vehicle's authentic character. Running P225/70R15 tires in front and wider P275/60R15 tires at the rear gives this Buick a balanced, confident stance that commands attention on the road.

Red and black vinyl create a bold interior environment that perfectly complements the exterior color scheme. The bench seat offers generous space and comfort for extended drives. The added column-mounted tachometer gives the driver extra information while maintaining the uncluttered dashboard design. Factory gauges remain clear and readable through the original-style instrument panel. Red carpeting adds warmth and ties together the color theme throughout the cabin. The classic column shifter keeps the floor area open and spacious. An AM radio rounds out the authentic 1950s driving atmosphere.

The 264 cubic inch Nailhead V8 engine serves as the mechanical centerpiece of this Buick. Working in harmony with the 2-speed Dynaflow automatic transmission, the powertrain provides smooth acceleration and reliable operation. Front disc brakes deliver improved stopping capability, while power steering reduces effort behind the wheel. The dual exhaust routes through a Thrush muffler for a mellow exhaust note. Stock-style suspension featuring coil springs and shocks at all four corners maintains the smooth, comfortable ride quality that made Buicks of this era so desirable on the open road.
