1955 Buick Century

This beautiful 1955 Buick was purchased with the intention of showing it this up-coming car show season, but it doesn't appear myself or my family will be showing this one as much as we would like. Therefore, I would like to give someone else an opportunity to own this car great car.

These cars are known by many as the 'Hot Rod' Buick, as it has the same wheelbase and body as the lower-priced Special series, but with added trim, amenities, and the higher horsepower Roadmaster engine (signified by the fourth "port hole" on the side) ... The model name came about with Buick's first 1936 Century model, named for its ability to cruise 100 mph.

This car always draws a crowd at the shows & cruise-ins, gets long stares on the road, and long conversations at the gas pump! This will be a good investment and a fun car for the next owner. Should win a trophy at all of your local car shows ; )

Details/Features:

322ci V8 Engine (4 BBL, 236 hp)
Dynaflow Transmission (Automatic Transmission)
Power Brakes
Electric Clock
Deluxe Radio
Day/Night Mirror
Windshield Washer
Factory 12 Volt Electrical System
New Coker WWW Tires
Recent service, check up, etc.

This Buick was treated to a light cosmetic restoration a few years back, but had a complete mechanical restoration about 3 years ago. It was an original survivor for many years. Had only two owners between 1955-2011 ... There is a lot of good looking original chrome, great body, etc. The paint job looks very good from any respectable distance and the underside of the car is nice as well. There may be a few driving chips/polishing scratches/flaws due to age/driving, but as you can see, it looks great. The interior is beautiful and has almost no evidence of age/wear at all. Lots more money spent on this car than the reserve price.

The engine idles very well, makes great power, and starts easy every time (also sounds great!). The transmission also operates well. The car gets down the road and will flow with modern traffic effortlessly. All the gauges, lights, and horn work. Everything works. Clock and radio too! It drives about as close to a brand new one as you will find. Overall, it's a sharp looking and driving Buick and you'd be hard pressed to find another one like it!

I welcome inspections and appraisers. Shown by appointment.

VW ID.4, the new Buick Envision and crossing Hyundai's N Line | Autoblog Podcast #668

Fri, Mar 5 2021

In this week's Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Associate Editor Byron Hurd. It's a review-packed episode this week, but it kicks off with a discussion of Volvo's plans to electrify by 2030 and move their EV sales online. From there, they get into Greg's time with VW's game-changing new ID.4 electric crossover. Byron then talks about his time with two very different new vehicles: the 2021 Buick Envision luxury crossover and the 2021 Hyundai Sonata N Line, which may or may not be a sport sedan. Finally, they tackle a fascinatingly complex twitter question: What is the best 'economy' muscle car?

Junkyard Gem: 1962 Buick LeSabre 2-Door Sport Coupe

Sat, Jan 29 2022

American car shoppers looking for a full-sized hardtop coupe in 1962 couldn't go wrong with the offerings from The General. Chevrolet would sell you a snazzy new Bel Air sport coupe for just $2,561 (about $23,800 today), but those Joneses next door wouldn't have felt properly shamed if you put a new proletariat-grade Chevy in your driveway. No, to really stand tall during the era of Alfred Sloan's Ladder of Success, you had to go higher up on the GM food chain. For the B-platform full-sized cars of 1962, that meant the Pontiac Catalina/Bonneville beat the Chevy, the Oldsmobile 88 was the next step up the ladder, and at the very top was the Buick: the hot-rod Invicta and its swanky LeSabre sibling. To go beyond that, you had to move up to a C-platform Buick Electra or Cadillac. Today's Junkyard Gem is a once-luxurious '62 LeSabre, now much-faded in a northeastern Colorado boneyard. The reason GM shoppers got so bent out of shape about the "Chevymobile" episodes of the late 1970s, in which some GM cars received engines made by "lesser" GM divisions, was that each division had its own family of V8 engines during the 1950s and 1960s and they weren't supposed to be mingled. The '62 LeSabre got a 401-cubic-inch (6.5-liter) Nailhead engine (so called because the valves were unusually small), rated at 265, 280, or 325 (depending on what kind of compression ratio and carburetion you wanted). That's not crazy horses for a big-displacement, two-ton luxury coupe of its era, but the small valves allowed for combustion chambers optimized for one thing: low-rpm torque. This 401 has the two-barrel carburetor, so it made either 412 or 425 pound-feet of torque. That's just a bit less than the mighty Cadillac's engine that year, and definitely sufficient to get this car moving very quickly. You had to pay a fat premium on the Chevrolet, Pontiac, and Oldsmobile B-bodies to get an automatic transmission (a three-speed column-shift manual was base equipment in those cars), but a Turbine-Drive (formerly known as the Dyna-Flow) automatic was standard issue on the 1962 LeSabre. This was an interesting transmission design that traced its origins back to the 1942 M18 Hellcat Tank Destroyer and used torque-converter multiplication to provide a CVT-like experience with no perceptible shifts (the driver could select a separate low gearset manually, so the shifter looks just like the one on the true two-speed Powerglide transmission).
