Description of 1955 Buick Riviera Super

Selling my 1955 Buick Super Riviera 2 dr coupe.
I purchased this vehicle several months ago, but I just bought another classic and this one is going to another home. I purchased this car in Pennsylvania in November and drove it home through those long PA stretched highways at 80-85 mph and got stuck in NYC traffic doing 10-25 mph. During the 4 hr. trip the car didn't have any mechanical issues, it was like a tank. That's when I knew that this car was dependable like the previous owner bragged about.
The only issue I had was getting accustomedto the Bias Ply tires dancing when the roadway was in disrepair. Guess that's why we all use Radial tires now! Also has a matching spare with the same Buick Hubcap in the trunk. The tires are in good condition, so you don't have to swap them out at this time.
According to the previous owner, the 322 Nailhead and the Dynaflow 2 spd transmission were both rebuilt and only have 800 miles at the time. He even issued me the Jasper lifetime warranty card for the transmission. He told me that he purchased the car from a fellow that was getting divorced. The car was in his garage and the engine/tranny were newly rebuilt on stands ready to get dropped in. He got the car, installed everything and that's all she wrote.
All new hoses, new front shocks, new brakes shoes, all the front end fittings were greased etc. The car is mechanically sound.
The original seats were in really poor condition, so a set of very comfortable Cadillac seats were installed. The original dash is clean and all the safety features work (all dash gauges work, speedometer, lights, horn, emergency brake). Has an aftermarket radio underneath the dash, so the original dash wasn't cut up.
The undercarriage is solid, and it doesn't leak any fluids.
I had a set of Jamco 3 inch dropped coil springs installed all around to give it a lower stance, but not too low. I still have the factory coils if you want them.
The front windshield has 2 hazy spots on the passenger side of the window that do not interfere with your sight of line. The driver's side has a hairline crack, but they all are presentable and function properly.
My plan for this Buick was to patina the car, flake the roof and pinstripe it. These Buicks look sick like that especially when you see that big boy grille staring at you! You can drive it like it is and be proud, definitely not a basket case or a project. As I was ready to start the customization (waiting for all the snow to melt) I found a car that I've always wanted, a black 1950 Chevrolet Fleetline coupe. So I have to let go of the Buick!
The car is located in Connecticut, so if your in the tri-state area feel free to take a look at it in person before bidding. The car is also listed locally and I have the right to remove it from Ebay at any time. I have an I-phone video of the car, feel free to call/text me for it and or any additional information at (203)521-7858.
Thanks,Louie

Just realized that the passenger side window is the one with the hairline crack NOT the driver's side!
I also added a few pics of the driver's side of the vehicle.
