MrEarl Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Actually a good friend here is already on it and I have suggested he not delay. If I didn't already have 54Muscle, a race with my friend to get to it first would be on though. LOL 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need additional pictures but the front seat bottom appears to have been replaced with incorrect fabric, of which I may have a source for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEarl Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 These Century's are scarce, no one wants to let go of them, as with most Century's. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take Care, Tom Let me check on it, it is in the three speed century I sold to my friend as a parts car for the Texas Pete Special I sold him. Seats were in great shape if I recall edit, I've got pictures, will check Edited March 4, 2021 by MrEarl (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrEarl Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Obviously someone recognized a very original and impressive Buick at a very good price and didn't hesitate to jump on it. Hopefully we will see more about it in the near future @47buicknut 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B Jake Moran Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Sale price duly noted. I loved it for sure. As a coffee drinking member I browse 6T's and 58Y's postings and others. If a car is priced correctly, new buyers feel they are getting the car at a good price point. But so many of these cars are priced at $20,000 and higher, like the 57 Century that was discussed. Is this seller selling too low? I don't think so, they are correctly pricing it. The issue is the other cars drop off the radar and we never know what the market corrected sale price is, and price guides are never realistic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm generally pretty conservative on my evaluations of '54's and IMO with what can be seen in the pictures and description this was a 12 grand car all day hence my comment "very good price". It's a Century. Century's and Roadmasters can simply demand more. Fair price for buyer and seller, both will likely walk away happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deac Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 My first foray in the mid 50's Buicks was a bust! Drove 6 hours to see a 55 Roadmaster Riviera. Car drove great. The engine was quite smooth and the Dyna-Flow worked well. The car was straight and the interior was nice. But that is where the good things stopped and the hi-dollar stuff started! The paint was rough, badly faded and a wet sand cut and buff would not save it. I found rust underneath the chrome moldings and rain gutters. All the chrome was in bad shape and needed to be redone. I even asked the seller before I left to check it out if there were any issues (like maybe some rust??) and he said "no". I didn't even make an offer. That '54 Century looks nice!
