Vehicle Detail
This is a near 100% cosmetically original 1955 Buick Super Riviera 2 Door Hardtop. Completely numbers matching including every component. This was a top of the line Buick back in 1955. Sold new at Standard Motors here in Southern California where it has remained since. It wears the original factory two tone coat of Dover White over Cadet Blue. This is a real time capsule. The interior is 100% completely original as well, and even the carpet is nice from the protection of the original rubber mats. Very straight body with all original panels, no repairs including no filler at all. The floors, frame and trunk are rust free. A 60 year old Survivor like this is very few and far between. This Super was stored for a few decades and brought back to life in late 2013. It starts right up and the original 322 Nailhead V8 runs great. Very smooth and no smoking. Still has the oil bath air cleaner and it is completely original under the hood also. Good condition bias ply tires with spare, 5th wheel cover, and jack hardware. Original fender skirts included as shown. Awesome patina just look at it. I just took over 80 pictures to show it well. Black plate car and last pink slip title from 1994 included. The brakes feel good but they have not been rebuilt or inspected so I have not yet taken it out on the street. I had planned on going through them first to be safe, but I haven't had the time. I am letting it go because I do not have the proper space for it and I need more funds to finish my convertible 64 Chevelle. I will work with international buyers. Please email with any questions you have and I will answer them quickly, thoroughly, and honestly.
