Buicknutty Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Lovely car, and it is a great driver, and I should know, as I've had one over 40 years! The seat material looks so nice, is this original? Or redone in the correct cloth? I have a question about the A/C. This looks like an aftermarket unit, as the compressor is different, and it lacks the centre vent in the upper dash panel. Beautiful!

Pete Phillips Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Keith, Sharp eyes on the A/C installation! That compressor is not an original Buick installation--it actually looks like the one on my factory air-conditioned 1958 Rambler. The factory compressor on a 1956 Buick is fat and round (cylindrical shape). Pete Phillips, BCA #7338 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buickborn Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Just a couple of detail questions . . . shouldn't the seat back frames be stainless, as in '54/'55 Roadmaster? Shouldn't the top of the radiator tank be rounded, instead of flat as in '54/'55? Gorgeous Roadmaster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beemon Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Car looks to have been repainted, the interior is a black color code while the outside is Dover White over Electric Blue. The headlight bezels also aren't painted. Still looks better than mine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
