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.
