The 1955 Buick Century was a personal design favorite of Harley Earl himself. Mid 50s GM styling is often considered to the pinnacle of American car styling. Built on the smallest Buick platform of the year, the Century also boasted the most powerful engine, the 322 cubic inch Nailhead V8 rated at 236 horsepower. This is a turn-key example finished in its correct Cascade Blue & Dover White colors. It has been updated with modern air conditioning and is factory-optioned with power steering & power brakes in perfect working order.
The front and rear bumper chrome has been re-chromed along with the tail light bezels. This example displays original intact stainless and trim throughout even the trim around the gas door guard is in great shape. The glass is in good condition throughout. The trunk is clean and detailed, complete with the spare tire/wheel and trunk paneling.
This 55 is one magnificent automobile that is truly ready to be enjoyed with its stunning paint finish and replated chrome bumpers, and perfect stainless. This should be considered a show car, but if one wishes, you could make this your personal car and drive it daily.
Over the years, driven sparingly, the odometer now reads 70,238 actual miles (which I believe to be true).
Front seat belts have been added for safety. The beautiful dash and components are all correct, with a working original radio. The temp gauge does not work. As you can see in one of the photos, an aftermarket gauge was installed. The car always runs cool. You can also see there is a horn button replacing the ring in the steering wheel. BTW, the clock keeps the correct time...once a day!
The photos indicate the correct color codes and VIN numbers.
The current NADA classic collectible appraisal guide says in average condition it is worth $24,100. However, our reserve is much lower.
