This 1955 Buick Century is a two-door hardtop finished in a classic two-tone combination of baby blue and white over a matching blue vinyl interior with stainless steel trim. The car underwent a comprehensive frame-off restoration approximately 25 years ago, during which nearly every component was refurbished or replaced. The restoration included the drivetrain, cooling and fuel systems, engine and transmission overhauls, interior refurbishment, and a high-quality repaint in factory-style colors. The car retains a period-correct V8 engine mated to a column-shifted automatic transmission and is equipped with air conditioning and an electric fuel pump for improved drivability.

The quality of the restoration is evidenced by the car’s immaculate condition inside, out, and underneath, and it continues to present as showroom-fresh. The seller notes that the restoration reportedly cost approximately $130,000 at the time and was executed to a high standard with attention to originality and detail.

Included with the sale is a substantial documentation binder outlining every element of the restoration, as well as historical paperwork including the original purchase check from 1955, dealership handbooks, period advertisements, and additional factory literature.
