Vehicle Description

Exterior

The front of the car is worth the price of admission! Big chromed

dagmars frame the edges of what is a two tier bumper, the upper on

either side flows over the woven chrome grille and wrapping around

the front quarters, and the second being the lower bumper which is

nice and wide and very shiny also wrapping aprons in the front

quarter. An upper thick chromed arch frames the top of the grille

and the lower edge of the hood. A single visor bezel chromed

headlight with a smaller signal light underneath resides on the

edge of each quarter in front. B U I C K badging for the front of

the massive hood and a gunsight hood ornament and we have just

visited the front of this car!! Front quarters, large hood, as well

as the mid to upper parts of the sides, and trunk are bathed in

Dover White, The lowers and roof are painted in Cherokee Red. The

delineation of a swoop spear which starts at the headliners and

runs past the front door, where it takes a shape, drops then rises

to match the rear wheel well and heads straight back to the mid

rear quarter, with white on top and red on the bottom. The iconic 4

portholes in Buick style are on the mid section of the front

quarters and would be the Buick signature for many years to come. A

chrome encircled wrap around front window and rear wrap around

glass frame the edges of the Cherokee Red roof. On back large

chromed chevrons house the tail lights and backup lights which melt

into the massive rear bumper and just above is the trunk badge

which is not fooling around with chrome either! Wide whites and

some red accented wheels have chromed dog dish styled BUICK badged

wheel coverings. Just a gorgeous piece of BGM design.

Interior

Tri toning Id say for this interior with a swing of the door where

we see black, red and white panels interplaying to form the door

panels. Some chromed knobs and cranks are on and the entire design

is showing a forward motion spear. Inside the styling takes those

colors and applies them to a front split bench and a full rear

bench. These benches have white uppers, tuck and roll inserts in

black and red vinyl smooth bolsters, all delineated by white

piping. The seats are in beautiful condition, and float on clean

red carpeted floors. A large 3 spoke steering wheel fronts a

futuristic dash which uses rolls of round steel to make its

statement. An oval instrument cluster with round and rectangular

gauges in front and center for the driver, has a ribbed aluminum

center and is within a wrap around central swirl pattern horizontal

band stretching across the dash between the rolled red dash top and

the rolled white bottom of the dash. Some temp sliders curve around

this lower dash as well as the radio speakers in big ribbed chromed

roll with the lower dash. A retro styled AM/FM radio resides

tastefully and unobtrusively within the center of the dash. A white

headliner vies for attention with all this roll and chromed design

and has chromed ribbing in the seams and edges. Classy and very

kewl 50s misses design.

Drivetrain

Under the hood is a fully restored power plant within a fully

restored engine bay. A 322ci V8 with green block and green valve

coverings has massive addons all over in the form of a carburetor

which is a 4bbl version and huge air intake drum with an air

cleaner behind it and on top of the 4bbl carb. Nice new wiring and

hoses abound and in back is a Dynaflow 2-speed automatic

transmission. A 3.40 conventional rear axle is on the back.

Undercarriage

Underneath is all solid for the X framing as well as the stamped

steel floor pans and inner fenders. There is a lot of black

overspray which attempts to cover the light coating of surface

rust, but all is definitely structurally sound. Independent coil

spring suspension, and leaf spring suspension provide the ride and

drum braking is all around. A new single exhaust is in for the

exhale.

Drive-Ability

A quick starter, and after a brief warmup it was off to Morgantown

central where I wanted to strut my stuff in front of the masses.

Lots of lookers and a potential buyer and this was only MY test

drive! It runs fab, and all mechanicals save for the speedo which

will come with a replacement and cablewere working

spectacularly.
