Well with 54 Buicks and guys like Derek and I, you will get an open biased opinion, but hopefully we can offer some helpful info as well. The 54 Special is a very simple car to work on. It has the "Million Dollar Ride" with all coil suspension, kingpins in the front and plenty of go with its V8. The transmission choices are either a syncromesh manual or the legendary Dynaflow automatic transferring power to the rear via a torque tube. It is a 12 volt car and can come with many options. It sure is the "Beautiful Buy" Let me have a Buick Salesman take you through all the features: <iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/cW168-4Amqs" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Would I suggest a 1954 Buick....hell yes
