DESCRIPTION:
Gorgeous 1956 Buick Roadmaster Convertible powered by the original 322 cu in Buick ‘Nail Head’ V8 rated at 255 horsepower and backed by the matching Dynaflow automatic transmission. This car is being sold as part of an estate, so the exact history of the Buick is not completely known. It does appear that the restoration did include a color change to the red interior & exterior, with a white top.

Condition:
The body & paint look great. It could be a 2-stage urethane with little to no bodywork evident. All the chrome is in good to excellent condition. The power tinted windows work as well as the top (see video). External lights function including turn signals and vacuum wipers.
The engine is stock and appears to have been rebuilt at some point. It starts easily and retains the original WCFB 4-barrel carburetor. Ignition has been changed over to Pertronics. The Dyna Flow 2-speed automatic transmission shifts smoothly. Recently added dual exhaust. Gas tank was flushed and fuel lines redone.
Suspension is original but rebuilt with urethane bushings and new ball joints. New 15” wire wheels.
Interior is in very good to excellent condition with no evidence of broken seams or tears. Power seat functions as well as the factory gauges including the speedometer and odometer.
