Full restoration to factory specifications. Pristine, spectacular!
This Buick Special has received a full nut and bolt professional restoration completed to a high standard. This is a striking automobile that has received great care and attention to detail during its restoration to the original manufacturers specifications. The restoration included the restoring the dash board, gauges, heat/defrost/ventilation, stainless trim, perfect chrome, correct wheel covers, and correct interior fabrics in addition to the paint, driveline, brakes and steering systems.
The result is a reliable fun car to drive and be proud of.

I had to stop the video halfway through because I could not stand listening to the salesman's excessive use of superlatives in describing this car. It's a nice car, no doubt, but it is a Special that has been restored all the way. I laughed to myself when he stated that everything works, but sometimes you have to lift the windows up a bit to get them started and then mentioned the windshield wipers don't work. This is the entry level Buick for 1956. It is not a Century, or a Roadmaster. Nice car, but optimistically priced at 37K IMO.

The red headliner makes the interior look weird and claustrophobic-is that original?

Either the dealer is reaching for the stars, or the consignor is trying to recover some of the restoration cost.

Not that any Special hardtop is worth $37K, but at that price, there's no question that everything should work.
