It was produced on the largest non-limousine chassis from General Motors, matching the wheelbase of entry-level Cadillacs, and senior class Oldsmobiles. As it migrated through multiple design changes, the Roadmaster survived as Buick’s flagship model after World War II. By 1955 it was accented with just the right amount of trim along with subtle, understated body attributes perfect for all types of executive buyers, but priced respectively for the common business professional. This magnificent 1955 Buick Roadmaster Riviera Hardtop is finished in its original color combination of Dover White & Cherokee Red (code BSB) with nicely accented and correct Black & Red cloth and vinyl interior (code 472)! Under the hood lies the original 322ci Fireball V8-4bbl offering a newly rated 236 horsepower for 1955, mated to the reliable Dynaflow automatic transmission. It’s heavily equipped with options that include power steering, power brakes, power front seat, power windows, Selectronic AM radio with power antenna (now fixed) and foot-operated preset radio band selector (working), back-up lights, under dash tissue dispenser, auxiliary cigar lighter, day/night rearview mirror, dual outside mirror, full wheel hubcaps, wide whitewall radial tires measuring 225/75R15, and all original E-Z-Eye window glass with Shat-R-Proof windshield! It received a full cosmetic & mechanical restoration with a fully rebuilt engine with rebuilt heads (new valves, valve springs, pushrods, and gaskets), new exterior base coat/clear coat paint, all new interior, headliner, new front & rear brake shoes, left & right axle seals, and more! Much of the trim & chrome is original with exception to the all the headlight & taillight bezels and complete rear bumper being re-chromed. It has added seatbelts dated from 1964 for the front seat passengers. The engine bay is well detailed to show quality appearance and is matched by the superb drive qualities! You will see the new 12-volt generator charging system with new spark plugs & wires, original Harrison radiator, rebuilt carburetor, air filter, & rebuilt fuel pump, and under hood insulation all fully intact! It should make for a great display at car shows! Inside, the overall appearance is ‘as-new’ with only very minor wear to be noted throughout. The mileage on the tires and engine total less than 1,000 miles since completion of the restoration in 2010. It remains wonderfully original and structurally solid throughout without any signs of damage or rust repair. It should make for a perfect contribution to a well-established collection or any Buick enthusiast all the same! Please call with any questions or to schedule a chance to view this Roadmaster in person!
