Vehicle Description
1954 Buick Century - 2 Door Hardtop When Buick was designing their
first automobile to reach 100 miles per hour they needed a name to
match. Well one executive on a return trip from the UK stated that
there driving 100 was referred to as "doing the century." This name
stuck and was actually paired with Buicks produced between
1936-1942, 1954-1958 and 1973-2005. With the 50 models they took
the same ideas with the Century pairing the lightest weight Buick
body with their most powerful engine. This beautiful 1954 Century
has a stunning exterior look. These were the first year for
ventiports on a Century which add a touch of style you just can't
beat. Coated in two tone Maroon metallic with White the car shines
beautifully out in the sun and always draws a lot of attention.
These cars were fitted with some of the coolest trim pieces ever
designed running across the rear fender and following the body line
down over the wheel well. All of that original stainless is in
place with a nice finish. All of the glass is in good shape as well
and has been tinted. These cars had a ton of chrome and those large
original bumpers and grill are nicely mounted in place. It rides on
spoke wheels with spinner style center caps and wide white wall
radial tires. Getting those wheels turning is the original style
322 Buick Nailhead V8 motor that starts up smoothly and runs well.
It is all painted in the original style Buick Green and utilizes
the original style of components with even the original decals on
the valve covers. It has a 4 barrel carburetor that is topped with
the original style air cleaner. Behind the engine is a Dynaflow 2
speed automatic transmission that has been entirely rebuilt. The
interior of the car is complete in a matching Red with Black. The
two tone them was worked in the seat upholstery, door panels and
dash. The split front bench seat is comfortable and has been fitted
with more modern seat belts. The dash is kept mostly original with
all of the stock style knobs, switches, gauges, etc. An aftermarket
original style Buick radio is mounted to the center of the dash and
delivers a good sound. The column with column shifter is painted to
match and topped with the original steering wheel. The trunk of the
car has been all nicely carpeted and houses the spare wheel. This
is a great looking car that drives and shows very well. Start
cruising in style for $29,900.00!
