Description of 1955 Buick Century

Buick Station Wagon Barn Find....77,863 miles. One Owner Buick Century Wagon (before we bought it) Wepurchased it for a customer of ours, from the daughter ( in her 70s) who inherited it from her father, who bought it new. It was originally green and white with red and white interior the day he bought it new. He had the dealer paint it red and white. I added a picture of the VIN tag so interested folks can verify.
Still has the 1963 Washington plates from when the original owner brought it to the Northwest. Parked it for a very long time. Factory 322 nail-head engine, automatic transmission, factory power brakes and power steering. Glass good all around except for wing window. It is extremely solid and about 99.99% Rust Free.We have not tried to get it running. The engine is stuck. Car Rolls easy.We have started removing the trim etc. in preparation to restore for a customer, but he has decided to have us build a pickup instead and asked us to sell it.
We found (due to a very helpful eBay seller) andbought anN.O.S right rear stainless trim piece that was missing from the right rear door. It will be included. It will bea great car to drive as a rat rod or restore, or make a great street rod cruiser too.
Consider deals? Yes.
