piche582 Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Just scored a deal on 56 Roadmaster that I'm gonna hawk some parts of off for my 55 that I like better the 55 stuff. Was wondering if the 55 and 56 quarter panels are interchangeable? Both are Roadmaster 4dr Sedans. How about the doors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_MrEarl Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 I would be surprised if any of the actual body panels would interchange since the stance / body height of the 56 was lowered from the 55. I'm only speculatin here though. The sweep spears might. If you're customizin, it would be cool if the trunk chrome would fit the 55. I love that 56 Roadmaster trunk chrome.

Guest norb Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 When I first came to Buick Fact. 78 a lot of us finished our 8 hrs,& went upstairs to work on the 56 show cars.These were all 55 models except for new front sheet metal,new dash ,interior & outside trim & bumpers & grill.If you look at the photo of the 4-door Special taken at the Grand Hotel on Mackinaw Island,you can see where we cut the tail pipe off behing the rt rear wheel because that was easier than extending it to the exaust outlet in the bumper that was new in 56. Maybe the quarters are the same,I dont know for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest norb Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Found a pic of the 55-56. All the cars on the island were pulled by horses because no cars can be driven there & the Grand hotel is up on a hill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
