Selim Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 This is vin for a Buick century 1955 convertible . Wanna know original color , exterior and interior as well as convertible top. Attached photo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron of Chicago Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Looks like this is a Buick Century Convertible, Paint code D I believe is Windsor Gray. Having 2 D's would mean that the center and lower color is the same. I think the No 1 denotes the Convertible top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynaflash8 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 For the first time the Buick Master Chassis Parts Book defeated me. I agree it was Windsor Gray, probably agree the second color was also Windsor Gray , but I have no idea what the 1 was for. The 1960 Master Parts only tells me D stood for windsor Gray. I didn't look at the Trim number. I already felt defeated, but I think the man was right. I had a 1956 that was yellow on top and bottom with Coral in the middle and the three letters agreed with that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron of Chicago Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 (edited) After looking at the second picture. Was this car from France? Maybe that is why the numbers do not make sense. I have never seen one. Do you have a picture of the entire vehicle? My Catalog of American Cars shows all the interior codes as a three digit number starting with 4 Please keep me posted Ron P.S. You could try to contact Scott Mich BCA #6619 here on the AACA site. He seems to know quite a lot about Buicks but he hasn't been on for a while.

That second 'General Motors (France)' label shown in the first post more or less confirms its a French-market Buick. Are there extra red reflectors on the rear; either mounted on the trunklid or the bumper? France usually required extra lighting on the rear.
