Due to an unpaying buyer/bidder, I am relisting to ol' girl again -----

This auction is for a 1955 Buick "SUPER" - Riviera - 2-Door Hardtop - "project car".
This "Super" was sold as a used car Jan. 7, 1957 from Benson Motors in Minden, Nebraska.
Owned by the father/daughter who bought the car in 1957 until I got it recently -
Some time ago, I had bought the daughter's 1967 Barracuda that she bought NEW in 1967,
so when they were leaving town, she contacted me about her father's Buick.
I have the old "small-style" Nebraska Title for it - CLEAN Title - ready for the next owner.

This Buick needs restored but is way above average for "starter project cars" - Good Color Combo too.
I took a bunch of pics so buyers can Clearly see what they're bidding on.

I would consider this car a "low-rust" body -
Trunk, Mid & Back Floor pans, Engine Compartment, etc are Very Solid with ONLY surface rust
LH/RH Front Floor Pans need repaired (see pics) - Small rust-hole bottom of LH Front Fender.
Rocker panels/Bottom Edge of body getting some rust but looks worse in the pictures than they actually are.
Frame Rails, Suspension, etc also look Very Good - Very Minimal rust to be fixed on this ol' body !
One advantage to this Buick is it's longevity with one family and minimal parts loss.
Car is almost totally complete except missing Top-End of the Nail-Head Engine, Radio & Speaker and small misc parts.
Sure makes restoration a WHOLE lot easier when all the little "nuts & bolts" that are so time consuming and costly to find & replace are attached to the car !

GLASS - Windshield & Side Glass will need replaced due to crack, discoloration, etc -- BACK Window is in Good Condition.

EXTERIOR Mouldings, etc ---
LH/RH Side Mouldings are in Very Nice Condition from front to rear - NO dings, very straight !
Both Bumpers are good candidates to be rechromed - "Honey-Comb" Grill is Very Nice - Headlite Bezels shined up nicely, Lenses are Good.
Tail-lites, Front-Fender Mounted Mirrors and the (8) Side-Marker have some small "pitting" but shine up nicely.
Windshield, Side Windows and Rear Window Chrome looks Very Nice.

INTERIOR:
Needs interior restoration - Pictures below show it clearly -
Nice that it's pretty Complete except for radio and Speaker - Pretty Neat Chrome Cigarette Lighter mounted under the Dash !

ENGINE/DRIVETRAIN:
Looks to be pretty Complete except missing Heads, Intake, Carb and Air Cleaner.
Transmission, Driveshaft, etc are connected - Just needs engine replaced.
I was told this was a "nail-head" engine - I do not know Cu. In.size.

Overall, this ol' Buick will make someone a heck of a "starter" project car -
Whether to restore, ratrod or whatever, it's VERY Nice to have a pretty complete car making restoration so much easier !!!

My shop PC died(using a friend's laptop to do this ad) and my shop phone(308-236-5784) is not working due to remodelling issues,
