V8, AUTOMATIC, NICE OLDER RESTO, GREAT FOUR-DOOR CRUISER FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY!

HIGHLIGHTS: Wow! Nicely restored and preserved '56 Buick! Same family 20+ years! Turn-key four door family cruiser! Movie car!

BODY OVERVIEW: Partially restored in the early 2000s, this Buick shows very, very well. The body is straight and appears to be free of major damages. With about 10 miles of chrome on this car, you're bound to find an imperfection somewhere, but as a whole the body, bumpers, and trim are in great condition! Imperfections are shown in the photos.

PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW: Finished in its original two-tone colors of Castle Grey and Dove White, this Buick really shines in the paint department–literally! Although this car is wearing an older repaint, it presents extremely well and seriously delivers on the shine. As can be seen in the photos, some paint imperfections are present but extremely minimal.

INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW: The interior of this Buick is the area that really speaks to how much of this car is still original, despite the partial restoration. The seats have been recovered, but it appears that only the cloth was replaced and the red vinyl may be original to the car. If it is original red vinyl, it is in astounding condition! Most of the hardware appears to be good quality original parts that were cleaned and/or refinished. The headliner is certainly original, and does have some visible staining as shown in the photos.

MECHANICAL OVERVIEW: Mechanically, this car functions as expected. The Buick V8 engine runs smoothly, the transmission shifts well, and it has been preserved beautifully. While this car certainly doesn't drive like a modern car, it is important to remember that Buicks had more of a luxury status in 1956 than they do now, so this car drives and rides very comfortably.

WHAT YOU'LL LOVE ABOUT THIS CAR: The contrast of the low-key paint colors and the miles of bright chrome! Plus this car was purportedly featured as a background vehicle in the 2002 movie Catch Me If You Can!

WHAT YOU MIGHT HATE ABOUT THIS CAR: If you like fresh, 100% new nuts and bolts restored vehicles this is probably not for you.

DOES IT NEED ANYTHING? Nothing but a new owner!

WHAT BUYER IS LOOKING FOR THIS CAR? Anyone looking to get into a reasonably priced, turn-key 1950s icon!
