1954 BUICK CENTURY RIVIERA 2-dr HARDTOP IMPORTANT: BUYERS WITH -0- TRANSACTIONS MUST EMAIL ME BEFORE BIDDING. BID RETRACTIONS WILL BE REPORTED TO EBAY. REINTRODUCED IN 1954 CAME THIS GORGEOUS BUICK CENTURY 2 DOOR HARDTOP. IT WAS COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS "THE BANKER'S HOT ROD" WHEN IT WAS NEW! IT HAD THE ROADMASTER V-8 IN A 'SPECIAL' BODY. 200hp WAS A LOT IN 1954. AND THIS IS JUST A GORGEOUS SURVIVOR. IT WAS PURCHASED NEW IN MILWAUKEE BY A WOMAN WHO KEPT IT UNTIL 1976. SHE HAD DRIVEN IT 21,000 MILES IN TWENTY-TWO YEARS! SHE THEN SOLD IT TO A GENTLEMAN WHO KEPT IT UNTIL 1994 AND PUT ON AN ADDITIONAL 15,000 MILES. THE THIRD OWNER TOOK IT OVER IN 1994 UNTIL I RECENTLY PURCHASED IT. THIS IS A DOCUMENTED 46,852 MILE CAR AND WE ARE INCLUDING ALL THE DOCUMENTS AND BROCHURES THAT CAME WITH IT. THIS CAR RUNS AS NEW. ALL LIGHTS AND GAUGES FUNCTION FLAWLESSLY. THE RADIO, LIGHTER, DOME LIGHT ALL STILL WORK! IT IS STILL WEARING SOME OF ITS FACTORY PAINT (17 B CODE = TITIAN RED WITH ARCTIC WHITE TOP). THE INTERIOR IS GORGEOUS. JUST LOOK AT THAT DAZZLING DASH!!! THE BLACK FABRIC ON THE SEATS IS FADED, BUT THERE ARE NO TEARS EXCEPT AT THE OUTSIDE BOTTOM CORNER OF DRIVER'S SEAT AS SHOWN IN THE PHOTO. THE HEADLINER IS PERFECT. THE INTERIOR PHOTOS TELL YOU ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW. IT HAS POWER STEERING AND E-Z-EYE GLASS, WITH ONE CRACK ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WINDOW. THE CHROME IS VERY DECENT FOR ITS AGE WITH SOME VERY LIGHT PITTING IN SOME OF THE TRIM, BUT NO DENTS. THE FRAME, TRUNK, AND FLOORS ARE ALL UNBELIEVABLY NICE. IT EVEN HAS THE ORIGINAL RUBBER FLOOR MAT AND REAR CARPET. THERE IS EVIDENCE OF RUST REPAIR IN REAR QUARTERS AND BETWEEN THE BUMPER AND BODY ~ I SHOWED THE WORST AREA IN THE CLOSE-UP PHOTO. THE ROCKERS UNDER CHROME HAVE HAD WORK DONE AS WELL. THESE '54 2 DOOR HARDTOPS ARE MUCH MORE RARE THAN '55 OR '56 MODELS. EVERY CAR PERSON THAT HAS SEEN IT THINKS IT IS WISE TO LEAVE IT AS IS ~~~ UNRESTORED CARS ARE MORE DESIRABLE THAN RESTORED ONES. YOU WIN IT ~~~ IT'S YOUR CALL. HAPPY BIDDING!
