This 1955 Buick Super Riviera hard top clearly demonstrates the direction that Buick was moving in during the 1950s. Finished in a stunning two tone Dover white and Gulf turquoise with a green interior, it has logged a mere 18,100 miles and is an original car that has received only minor reconditioning. Although repainted 20 years ago, it still holds a pristine shine that truly exemplifies the fine care it has received. Standard features on this remarkable car include a trip mileage indicator, electric clock, radio, cigarette lighter, power steering, power brakes, trunk light, back up lights, two tone paint, and 800 x 15 inch white wall tires that are mounted on genuine 40 spoke Skylark wire wheels. With its two-tone paint and wire wheels, this Buick Super Riviera is sure to be a standout in the crowd.
Power for this unique automobile comes from Buick’s 322 cubic inch “Nailhead” V8. Automotive enthusiasts around the world have long known of the Nailhead’s reputation for durability and performance. For 1955, the Super produced a respectable 236 horsepower, more than enough to comfortably move the 4,075 pound Super along the nation’s highways. In 1955 Buick won two NASCAR Grand National races. It was also a year for many other milestones in Buick’s history. On March 16, Buick built its one millionth V8, and on April 5, Buick built its eight millionth car.
