1956 Buick ROADMASTER SERIES 76 C in West Palm Beach, FL

This beautiful Roadmaster Convertible has just received a body-off-frame, ground-up, total restoration with less than 70 test miles on the car. It was restored by a collector who specializes in restoring '40s and '50s Buicks. His previous restorations have all won AACA Jr. and Sr. awards including Best of Class at the National Buick Show. This 1956 beauty has the very rare option of factory air conditioning. A total of 4,354 convertibles were made in 1956 but only a handful were ordered with factory air. The car weighs 4,395 pounds and has a rebuilt 322/255hp V8 engine with rebuilt automatic transmission. It's capable of reaching 110 mph. The base cost in 1956 was $3,704 plus any added options. This convertible is painted original factory colors - Tahiti Coral and Dover White. The body was taken off the car and the frame was sandblasted and painted the correct semi-gloss. The car features new brake lines, new gas lines, new flushed and painted gas tank and new YNZ wiring harness. It also features new and correct exhaust and muffler system by Waldron's Exhaust as well as a top-of-the-line, correct, rebuilt carburetor, a rebuilt brake booster and a rebuilt power steering unit. No expense was spared. A flushed and re-cored radiator along with new brakes and master cylinder were also added. It has a brand-new set of NOS wheel covers and a rare and correct jack and an even more-rare GM bag for that jack. All the chrome, pot metal and stainless was professionally redone. It has new tires and all-new rubber on the entire car. Additional work includes rebuilding the power-top switch, taking apart the 6-way power seat to replace older solenoids and rebuilding the speedometer. The interior and top were rebuilt and replaced as well. This is a 30-day-old restoration with over 130 NOS parts, which include an NOS power steering horn button. Hard-to-find new additions include the exhaust tips and the NOS front grille ornament spelling out "1956 Buick Roadmaster."
