1955 Buick Riviera Special

Buick Riviera Special (1955)
for sale

Price: US $14,900.00

Description:

This is the most solid and original car from the 50s I have ever experienced. The original owner's grandson sold me the car a couple years ago having never driven it in 30yrs. Mileage is correct! It has been fixed up to drive as if it would never be sold; yet, it must. Please check out the photos and description to appreciate the coolness of this very desirable body style, color combo, and condition with just the right patina.
-100% original both outside and inside. -264 Nailhead V8-Original paint shines very well with expected blems being 60 yrs old. -Zero rust ever-The doors open and close perfectly. -Upholstery is incredible. -Rear seat is perfect underneath new covers that I installed to prevent damage from the kiddos.

I used the reproduction material to match original. -New vent window rubber
It's an incredible car. However, there are some blems from age and use (paint chips/dings/scratches, slight pitting on a few pieces of chrome, driver's armrest deformed, cracked paint on tops of doors)
I have this listed locally and in Hemmings (where there are more photos). Therefore, I reserve the right to delete this listing.
Please don't hesitate to contact me for questions or pictures. I will get back to you sooner by email/text. God bless!
