The judging manual has starting engine numbers, which will tell you whether or not the engine should be correct for the year (that's how I found out the 248 in my '41 is a '47 engine). The engine block number you give is out of whack with what is in the manual...could that be a casting number rather than engine serial number?

Paint code 542 is Rainier Blue upper and lower. Wheels should be body colour with a Cream stripe(s).

Model and style number identify it as a Series 50 (Super) 2 door sport coupe, of which 26,251 were built according to the Standard Catalog of Buick.
