1956 Buick Special 4 Door Family Cruiser
for Sale in Westminster, CA 92683
Owners Description
Nicely restored and preserved '56
Buick! Same family 20+ years! Turn-key four door family cruiser! Movie car!
BODY OVERVIEW: Partially restored in the early 2000s, this Buick shows
very, very well. The body is straight and appears to be free of major damages.
With about 10 miles of chrome on this car, you're bound to find an imperfection
somewhere, but as a whole the body, bumpers, and trim are in great condition!
Imperfections are shown in the photos.
PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW: Finished in its original two-tone colors of
Castle Grey and Dove White, this Buick really shines in the paint
department-literally! Although this car is wearing an older repaint, it
presents extremely well and seriously delivers on the shine. As can be seen in
the photos, some paint imperfections are present but extremely minimal.
INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW: The interior of this Buick is the area that
really speaks to how much of this car is still original, despite the partial
restoration. The seats have been recovered, but it appears that only the cloth
was replaced, and the red vinyl may be original to the car. If it is original
red vinyl, it is in astounding condition! Most of the hardware appears to be
good quality original parts that were cleaned and/or refinished. The headliner
is certainly original and does have some visible staining as shown in the
photos.
MECHANICAL OVERVIEW: Mechanically, this car functions as expected. The
Buick V8 engine runs smoothly, the transmission shifts well, and it has been
preserved beautifully. While this car certainly doesn't drive like a modern
car, it is important to remember that Buicks had more of a luxury status in
1956 than they do now, so this car drives and rides very comfortably.
WHAT YOU'LL LOVE ABOUT THIS CAR: The contrast of the low-key paint colors
and the miles of bright chrome! Plus this car was purportedly featured as a
background vehicle in the 2002 movie Catch Me If You Can!
