For Sale: 1955 Buick Century in Mesa, Arizona

Vehicle Description

Remarkably preserved and beautifully executed, this 1955 Buick Century Riviera sports a sophisticated Dover White and Turquoise two-tone color scheme that perfectly defines mid-century American luxury. The long, flowing lines create a powerful visual presence while the contrasting red steel wheels make a bold statement against the gleaming paint. Chrome accents run along the body, highlighting the sleek contours and distinctive Buick styling cues. Those 15-inch wheels come wrapped in period-correct Coker Classic 7.6-15 white wall tires that complete the authentic 1950s appearance.

Inside awaits a sea of blue that immediately transports you to another decade. The blue vinyl bench seats with their fabric inserts offer both style and comfort for long drives. Matching blue door panels flank the cabin while the blue carpet underfoot and coordinating headliner create a completely unified interior color scheme. The dashboard features an array of gauges in a logical arrangement, with the column shifter positioned for convenient operation. Every interior element works together to create a cohesive cabin experience that exemplifies mid-1950s Buick design philosophy.

Mechanical excellence comes in the form of the 322 cubic inch V8 Nailhead engine, finished in blue and fed by a Quadrajet carburetor. The Buick Dynaflow 2-speed automatic transmission handles shifting duties with characteristic smoothness. Power drum brakes provide stopping capability, while the suspension system combines independent front design featuring control arms and coil springs with a solid rear axle equipped with trailing arms, panhard bar, coil springs and shocks. The glass washer fluid container adds a factory-correct detail to the engine bay, while the single exhaust with aftermarket muffler completes the mechanical package.
