Guest 54vetteguy Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Good Morning!I had a general question regarding the interchangeability of the dash panels among the various 1955 Buick models. My dash has a some point in the past been pulled out and replace with a later dash (don't ask me what from) so I want to put it back to something close to origional. I have a Buick Special. Will the dash assembly from another model work if I cannot find one from a Special - would Roadmaster or Century fit? Will worry about the guages and trim details later....Help!John Lanning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
progoofoff Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 To be exact, 1955 stands alone. Century has some differences from the Special...speedometer and trim. Either will bolt in.Roadmaster and Super are not the same.I have the bare dash pieces for $60 plus shipping, if interested.27107Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 54vetteguy Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 (edited) Thank you for your input! I have a Buick Roadmaster which as best I can tell has the small horizontal speedometer rather than the Special and Century which is a circular speedometer correct? Think I am getting somewhere here - I need to find the dash with the horizontal speedo from either a Roadmaster or a Super model correct??Best!JmL Edited July 9, 2012 by 54vetteguy (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have stated that you have a 55 Special and then a 55 RM...which is a the recipient of the dash? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
