Vin is 7a1107350 - 7=Roadmaster series, A=1954, 1 = Flint and from the production sequence number it probably rolled off the assembly line around June 9, 1954

Yours was one of 26,862 Roadmaster four door Rivieras produced that year with a base price of about $3,269.00

Hope this helps. Is this your car or one you are looking at. Please share some more info and possibly pictures of the car with us.

Thank you so much for the info. That helps a ton. It is my fathers car that he has owned for almost 40 years. It has been in storage for about the last 15 years and it is time for it to come out. It is all original and in great shape but the plan is to get it close to perfect as we can. I will post some pictures soon. Thanks for the help.

Dale,

Please be sure to check out the 1954Buick.com web site and forum. We also have a registry there for 1954 Buicks and would appreciate your adding your car to it.

The Lido Green over Baffin Green is a nice combination. Look forward to seeing this beautiful car.

That does indeed sound like a beautiful car, and it is great to see the family history and the fact that it will soon see the light of day again. Good luck.
