Please allow ample time for our high resolution photos and video to load. Thank you. 1955 Buick Century as presented by... Texas Classic Cars of Dallas 1912 W. Mockingbird Lane Dallas, Texas 75235 Dave at 214-213-7072 or Maris at 214-616-2317 ENJOY OUR CLASSIC BUICK VIDEO BELOW FEATURES INCLUDE : 322 c.i.d Nailhead V8 engine / 236HP Dynaflow Automatic Transmission Updated Air Conditioning System Factory Power Steering Factory Power Brakes Sonomatic AM Radio Cascade Blue / Dover White Finish Blue Cloth / White Vinyl Interior Painted Steel Wheels / Wide Whitewall Tires The 1955 Buick Century was a personal design favorite of Harley Earl himself. Mid 50's 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. This older, presentable finish has a number of imperfections, such as these large chips on the driver's side door along with some chips along the front edges where the hood meets the fenders along both sides. The paint shows fair and is in decent shape over an exceptionally solid body. From the 1930's until 2005, Buick's Century nameplate was utilized. This example displays original intact stainless and trim throughout along with nice chrome displayed on the front and rear bumpers. Decorative trim is abundant on the '55 Century, including trim around the gas fill door. The glass is in good condition throughout. We would like to thank our friends at the Dallas Love Field Frontiers of Flight Museum, located only minutes from our showroom floor. We love to bring our cars there for many photos. The front and rear bumper chrome has been re-chromed along with the tail light bezels. This car displays original stainless throughout as well. The 1955 Buick Century models were laden with chrome. The trunk is clean and detailed, complete with the spare tire/wheel and trunk paneling. Custom blue & white vinyl door panels are accompanied by the factory bright work and armrest. The interior features exceptionally nice upholstery, styled in blue checkered cloth inserts with silver thread along with blue and white vinyl. Under the hood is the classic Buick Nailhead V8 engine equipped with updated air conditioning along with factory power steering. This powerplant is backed by Buick's DynaFlow automatic transmission. Further inspection will reveal solid inner fenderwells, firewall, and core support sheet metal. The underhood insulation is intact and in good condition throughout. The original underhood identification tag is in place, confirming this to be a Dover White/Cascade Blue "66R" Century. The original V.I.N. plate is in place as well. The top is the correct Dover white color. The upholstery shows exceptionally well. Factory Power Brakes are clearly labeled on the pedal. The original bright work is intact throughout, including the Sono-Matic AM radio. The headliner shows well. The 70,013 miles are believed to be original to this Buick. The air conditioning system features an under-dash unit and updated compressor under the hood. The vintage controls and equipment are in place throughout. This is Buick's DynaFlow automatic transmission. The undercarriage and flooring appears to be in exceptional condition throughout, indicative of a dry climate example.
