Buick Century 1955 Description

1955 Buick Century Estate Wagon

Its time to make some room in the barn for other projects, so my somewhat rare “Beater Ride” has to go. When was the last time you saw one of these wagons in very good condition. Not many were made!

This project 1955 Buick Century “4-Port” Estate Wagon originally from Bakersfield, California. Has the “Nailhead” V8 with 4barrel Carter carb and automatic transmission complete running and all stock Buick. Color was originally from the factory “Dover White” on the top and lower portion of the body and “Condor Yellow” in the middle of the body. Interior is currently red/black, probably not stock colors. Car currently runs, drives and stops, but needs a little TLC to get it as a good driver or restore. Should be trailered, but can be driven on trailer or car hauler.

The good stuff:

This Buick wagon is pretty much complete with all trim and glass intact (drivers rear window has some age cracking)

Clear AZ title

Comes with shop manual.

4-good white wall tires.

New radiator coolant and hoses.

New complete transmission rebuild kit with front & rear bands. Comes with trans rebuild book. Transmission currently leaks fluid, but can be driven for short distances.

This car has been sitting for awhile so brakes are a little sponge, but they work.

Stuff that requires some TLC:

Has a few small rust through areas (approximately 6) in the drivers floor, one small area near rear passengers seat, front passengers door bottom and inside rear tailgate bottom (refer to pics).

Rear lift gate is missing latch

Has radio, cigarette lighter (not sure if they work)

Windshield wipers, windshield washer and heater fan don’t work and need TLC

Seat plastic trim pieces and inside center post trim pieces need to be installed. Rear seat bottom needs mounting so “fold down” works properly.

Will probably need new shocks.

This car is being sold “as-is” condition and requires a $500 Paypal non-refundable down payment within

48 hours of close of auction. Remaining balance paid in cash upon pick-up of vehicle near Show Low, AZ.
