Elpad Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 I will start this thread to help identify the Buicks when multiple cars are the subject of a photograph. Also when the subject vehicle can't be identified completely as a Buick or when like me, not sure if the car is a Buick or other make. Sorry, after all this years, I confuse a lot of makes. When ID is made, please post the details of the finding.! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a 1953 Buick Roadmaster Skylark 76X Convertible . . . not a 1953 Buick Roadmaster 76C Convertible. No portholes and the beltline dip on the door and rear-quarter window sills are the clues.

Ben I would say Sepia color but that was not an original color. I seen some old colored photographs, wonder if someone here can do it. I would try back at home with the MAC however now I’m away from home on a special mission: Hurricane Michael Relief Detail on FL. panhandle. Sorry not an Enclave but a Tahoe. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Phillips Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 2 hours ago, Elpad said: The wagon at extreme left is definitely a '56 Buick. Look at the "J"-bars at the bumper ends; look at the tail lights; look at the exhaust ports in corners of bumper. I'll even go out on a limb and say it is a '56 Century wagon, due to the dual exhausts. Hardly any Specials had dual exhausts in 1956!

60FlatTop Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Sometimes you don't have to go too far from home. Can you find the the maroon '64 Riviera? I took this picture yesterday. There seemed to be only one logical place for the old wall insulation. > Additional 9' and 8" doors are going in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
