motoringicons Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 (edited) SOLD: This 1955 Buick 76R Roadmaster Two Door Hardtop Coupe was recently restored. The restoration was just completed and included a rebuilt engine, new interior, new paint, new chrome, etc. etc. The car has been driven about 300 miles since the restoration was completed, so it is still fresh and still has that new car smell! The fit and finnish on the body is excellent with nice gaps and margins throughout. The body lines are crisp and clear. The Cascade Blue and Artic white paint job is excellent and looks great, although could probably benefit from a final rub and polish. The interior is excellent including the seats, door panels, headliner, polished top bows, dash board, steering wheel, controls, etc. The glass is excellent and all of the window trim and seals are new as well. Mechanically, the car drives effortlessly at highway speeds. The engine starts easily, idles well, and propels the car down the road with lots of gusto and power. The chassis rides nice and tight. The steering and brakes still feel like new as well. Since this car has so few miles, the engine bay is still clean and very tidy. The Coker white wall tires are new and fresh. All of the gauges and lights work, the doors and trunk lock with their keys, the Sonomatic radio plays, etc. This is a highly optioned car with power steering, power brakes, power seat, power windows, windshield washer, power antenna and air conditioning. There are a few little things that did not get finished during the restoration. The air conditioning fan works, but the A/C needs to be hooked up and charged, the power antenna does not work, and the clock does not work. Overall, this is a great looking and desirable Buick that is being offered at far less than the restoration cost. The price is 34,000.00 and the car is located near Jefferson, WI. Please call 734-730-4274 or email: motoringicons@hotmail.com to schedule a viewing or for more information.

buick5563 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 (edited) Nice car. FYI, That is either Stafford or Cadet Blue. Definitely not Cascade. Edited May 17, 2015 by buick5563 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEarl Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Beautiful car! Love those chrome headliner bows! They were only available in the Roadmaster in 54, what about 55's guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesBulldogMiller55Buick Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 (edited) Is that vinyl on the seats and seatbacks? Edited May 17, 2015 by JamesBulldogMiller55Buick (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireballV8 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 In 55 the road masters & century four door hard tops had the chrome bows on the interior headliner. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buick5563 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 (edited) Yeah, I saw that, but I am not familiar enough with the big series car options. I doubt they would be plain vinyl, for sure.I'm not trying to pick the car apart. Edited May 17, 2015 by buick5563 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithbrother Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 I GOOGLED images of1955 BUICK INTERIORS, and did NOT see a single car with SMOOTH VINYL/LEATHER seat bottom cushions. Not to say that such is GOSPEL. It would appear to me though that a ROADMASTER would have a more patterned cushion. IMO Dale in Indy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old-tank Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 It would be nice to have Mike or Willie give a comment on the seat bottoms. We are not supposed to pick apart any direct offerings here (unless asked)...ok for a link to a Craigslist, etc ad. If someone is considering this car ask for opinion by way of PM, email or phone call. How do I know this?...I've been slapped down a few times . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
