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:

Would I suggest a 1954 Buick....hell yes

What a great transformation!

Just be careful and vote once per day from each machine...
Votes are recorded by IP in these things so cookie crunching can lead to unforeseen/unintended results.
....just saying

Willie, I don't know how you did it but thanks...you may have a future job in politics... :D
Cookie control!

How about a Buick pep song to rally the fans!

Never get tired of looking at new interior shots!
Very nice...
Hey Les....don't burnout that keyboard eh.

Is the fuel pump mounted the correct way? It seems like the glass bowl should be on the bottom. I like the work you're doing.
Just go back a page...that issue is discussed.
Nice work...enjoying the hell out of this thread!
-
going fast now....484!

What he said ^^^^^^^^^^^^
Those accessories sure fill out the engine!

Just to make it easy for someone new to the thread......I'll Quote MrEarl:
got my vote. kinda hard to figure out just how to vote. Hint: try this link Current Vehicles and click the thumbs up icon in the upper left hand corner. -
Who doesn't know the year of their Antique Car...let alone a 55-56-57 Chevy?
Yea sure does looks like SPAM to me to up the hit count. YouTube does pay for hits on original content BTW
I recall saying this already in this thread.....yea, I used a picture to make my point but dam guys it was a way to be emphatic no need for the delete button!
Oh well....back to where I belong.

I'm pretty sure it's a Special Bob....
BuzzKill......

You're not much better, Bob.. it's 298... :D
You know I should have seen how that comment would play out....
3 Century's now....only half way there!

Badass my Red R/T neck and neck at 58 and 59 votes, Old Bessie - commanding lead at 290! Keep the voting up! Team Buick does not need to be blindsided by a Toyota and a Dodge! Vote Early and Vote Often!!
I think you made a mistake....it's actually 292
-
254...I like the way that number looks
-
As I know we are "Hobbyists" and like to do thing ourselves, you may want to check into plating the hardware yourself...it something I plan on doing:

I will never forget the smell of my garage the morning after I parked my new Buick inside.
Thanks old48truck for coining the "smellmember", I will always use that now when I try to describe those first days I had my Buick. Its apart now, carpet thrown away and seats in storage...I miss that smell of history but I will always smellmember it.

That auxiliary vac pump on the 54's was for the power brakes during an engine stall at speed. No Vacuum=No Brakes! They only ran when the ignition was on but the engine was not so I doubt full time duty would be ideal as that would wear them out quick. Also they are a little dear as it pertains to cost
There were two models, Trico and Morvac.

Now 123 and counting.....

Sorry if I'm late to the party on this but I thought that this was pretty weird.

Anybody ever see one of these?

Or vote from each of the different browsers on the same computer and different operating systems on computer.
What is the prize anyway?
