MrEarl Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 (edited) Thought I would share these dealer price sheets with you. These are original begin of production price sheets. What is really nice about these sheets is that they show all the standard factory installed options along with the Code of each. These codes are what might appear on the data plates.Hope you enjoy looking at them and maybe using for future reference. click the image 3 times for max magnification Edited June 2, 2011 by MrEarl (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not buying much paper stuff these days. In fact just sold my Dealership Album. I'll regret that. Glad you found them enjoyable and printed it off Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhclark Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Great to see the '58 list!I inquired about getting a window sticker created, but was told '59 was the first year for them. Anyone know any different?Of course, he offered to make me one, it just would not be "correct" and there would be no template available. I was thinking of having one made anyway, but would need a template to start with....Thanks Lamar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TG57Roadmaster Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Very sweet Lamar, and thanks for all of them! I see '55, '56. '58 and '59,rather than '55 thru '58. What, no '57? Say it ain't so!TG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1957buickjim Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 TG..57 is there, it in fact is 2 pages. It jumps a page. I think 58 is missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1957buickjim Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 TG...Might have jumped the gun a little on that one. Should have known better than to supercede the master. You are right, no 57 pricing, just 56 and 58. Maybe Mr. Earl didn' post it.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEarl Posted June 2, 2011 Author Share Posted June 2, 2011 I'm afraid TG is correct. There is no 57 but there is a '59. been screwin up a lot like that here lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TG57Roadmaster Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 You're doing great Lamar, we'll just have to find and post '57 prices later.What's intriguing, and proves a point, is that wire wheels are priced and listed for '55, but not afterwards. It corroborates the Master Parts Manuals' info on wires not being (officially) offered after '55. Not that you couldn't getthem from KH or elsewhere.TGSmall and meek.

Maybe in a 1953 MPB? I don't have a 1953 MPB but all the books from 1954 on only list 6 inch. At least what I have seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrEarl Posted September 1, 2012 Author Share Posted September 1, 2012 Since there are a few new 55,6,7,8,9 owners on board I thought I'd bring this back around for their viewing pleasure and use. It also confirms some of the ?? that have been axed about rims and wire wheels. IE, wires probably not offered after '55. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Falabella Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Very cool,thanks for posting. My car listed for 4060.00 in '55. Every option except wires and side view mirror. Comparably priced 2013 Lacrosse-$40455.00 as per Buick.com. .10 on the dollar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1953mack Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 (edited) I know: off hand; 6.5" K-H wire wheels were for '53 Skylark, only. (I disagree. They were also available as an option on 1953 Supers and Roadmasters.) Also, the 6.5" K-H do not have a pilot stud hole. (I disagree. The 6.5" Kelsey-Hayes did come with a pilot stud hole. I have 10 of them. They are not for sale.) As i write; I'm reaching for my master parts books...........The Kelsey-Hayes wire wheel is in; Group#5.008 (I disagree. The Kelsey-Hayes wire wheel is in GROUP #5.803 in my 1928-1954 BMCPB.)However, that group does not appear in neither of my books; the 1936-1958 book, nor, the 1940-1966 book. My comments are in red. Does anybody agree with my disagreements?

You're absolutely right about '53 Supers and Roadmasters with wire wheels. I got that wrong all the way around!!What I meant to say was the '53 wheels did not have a pilot hole stud. The 6" does NOT have the pilot hole studAgain, you are right to correct me on the 6.5" having pilot hole stud.'54 and later did have a pilot hole stud.
