Buick Super $40,000

[deac]

Restored 1957 Buick Super. Rebuilt transmission, front disc brake conversion. My dad purchased the car in Palm Springs .. the elderly lady that owned had only driven it 12k miles. It’s currently at 15k miles… odometer hasn’t rolled over !! Reach out to me and I’ll answer any questions you may have. Thank you

This is not my car and I have no stake in the sale

Not enough miles on it.

I’d be afraid to drive it.

It would probably sell overnight on BAT.

Big Buick, big bucks. 

Could use a little more creativity in making the after market wires look more like real Buick wheels.

Best year for all GM products IMO. Great choice of colors in the two tone paint. The only negative for me would be the wire wheels, as I am a bit lazy and cleaning those on a regular basis would be a tedious job. That said the wires do look great on this car. GLWTS

I posted this car because as kingrudy said, and I agree that 1957 was the best styling for GM. I have a 57 Pontiac and a 57 Buick would look nice next to it. I like to think I am dreaming but there's a part of me that's is not dreaming. (Help!) The price is reasonable if, and it's a big if, the car is good shape. But I doubt that!

I have a 1957 Buick Century, as well as color chips

and the Color and Upholstery album.  The paint scheme

on this car may be incorrect:  I'd like to see the codes

on the plate on the firewall.

 

To my knowledge, Buicks for '57 did not have a contrasting

paint color on the roof AND the lower body.  For the Supers and

Roadmasters (the two models in the larger series), It would be

either on the roof only (with the rest of the body a solid color),

or below the side molding only (with the roof and upper

body both in the other color).

 

If this car is painted correctly, I think $20,000 is appropriate.

I agree that 1957 General Motors cars were very well styled.

Pretty car - nice colors.

I'm glad that the car makers introduced minivans and SUVs. Crowding six people in a sedan was uncomfortable, though as a kid there were three of us in the back seat of a wagon.  I guess I spoiled my kids with the minivan.
