Where can I find some pictures of the correct various styles/designs for '55 Roadmaster Rivieras? I can find pictures on the web, but I have no idea which ones are correct.

Eric, for enough money, probably most of what I have is too.... If I sell the Roady, I want an unreasonable price, though.... How about selling me 30 years...I've always wanted to be younger.. haha...

Dave,,me be good???? Who do you have me confused with??? Did you get the plum brandy or Georgia Homemade Elixer at the BCA breakfast? You must have gotten one of them and gave it a few good swigs tonight.. hahaha

Thanks Mike.... Like most things, it's Mr. Earl's fault.. hahahahaaha:rolleyes:

In 1954 we had a Lincoln Capri, and I think I remember it, but I'm not really sure. I had wanted a '55 because the first car I really remember well was our '55 Super Riviera. My father was a caraholic and had a new one ever year or two. I've often wondered why he had a Super since always before he'd had Roadmasters. Maybe it was the scarcity of them.. No one left to ask, so I'll never know for sure.
The choices I'd narrowed down to were a 1955 Roadmaster-Super, 1957 Lincolnn Premier, or a 1963 Riviera. Because of the comraderie in the Buick forum, and seeing how helpful everyone was, I narrowed it down to the Buicks. I'd found a '63 in Pa., but, the distance to go look, and then, if bought to get it home. When I found the '55 'just' four hours from home, fate sort of decided the car for me. With the car being almost totally mechanically redone, and with the price I paid..I'm pretty sure this is a keeper unless something unforseen comes up.
Y'all are kind of stuck with me....

Matt, I realize Mr. Earl is dangerous with those '54s....haha....
Mr. Earl, you commented on the Packard32 name not working any more... Well, I got a new name now....Like I said...I'm the real Mr. Earl hahahaha:o

Remember the old movie-- Our Man in Havana.... Well, Who's Our Man in Nevada... must be someone out there in the Buick Club, since some things they're asking about would have to be done pretty much local.... my 2 cents worth....

Ever been on the horns or a dilema? Well, I was today. A guy stopped by and guess what he wanted to buy??? Three guesses, and the first two don't count. And he has the $$ to do it with. It was a loooooong second before I said, Well, not right now... we'll see about the future.... I was luck in finding this car and I know it. Yes, it still needs work, but sooooooo much work was done mechanically before I got it. I hope I'm not crazy.... well, not too crazy anyway...

I know the canister is semi-gloss black... What color is the pump? What color is the bracket? In searching pictures, I've found every sort of combination you can think of.. How did it come from the factory? Thank you for the help!!

This is an easy one for y'all--- What kind of fluid do I put in the rear shocks on a '55 Roadmaster?

A shame they didn't use correct Packard colors when doing the paint job... green and red are incorrect.. and don't give me they'd paint it any color line..... show me all those original cars with custom paint jobs.....

August 1 was the Southeastern NC AACA chapter meeting, and I thought I'd drive the Buick...an easy 15 miles. Well, all went well going to the meeting, but, on the way home, I learned that a 58 year old gas gauge is not always accurate...Please don't ask me how I know this.... Let us all be thankful for the good people in this world who help out people with old cars....

I haven't done much with the car, working on the garage instead. I did get the car out today, sprayed in the wheel wells, under the engine, and backs of the wheels with 'Awesome'. It's a strong cleaner I get at Dollar Tree. I really needed for it to set longer, but it was getting dark. I went to the car wash that takes quarters.... took $4-5 worth, and sprayed out under the car... My, my at the krud that came out from under that car. It's got to be 2-3 pounds lighter... haha..... The funny part was that when I pulled up in the wash bay, there was an empty bottle of Awesome laying there... I guess someone esle had the same idea that I did....I'm sure there's still plenty that needs to come out from under there... that's a posting for another day....

Sherry, If you'll look further down the main page you'll find the Buick section. You will find lots of people who can hardly wait to drool all over your new purchase and answer any question you may have....... Be sure to post some pictures down there....

Zowie But, how many of those showroom albums could still be around?????? What I want to see is what part of the seat is vinyl, what part is cloth.. that type of choice. I saw one where the entire seat is cloth, but where your back goes is a big piece of vinyl, which I think is correct, but I really don't like that..... That is what options I want to see, the different configurations of vinyl and cloth. Did the '55s come with leather? or was it only vinyl? Was there only one pattern available? the checkerboard pattern?
