1956 Buick Special

Desirable as is Collectible, beautiful in every way and the pride of GM as Harley Earl created a true masterpiece in advanced design and style that transcends generations. This Solid, Survivor, Well Equipped, and Beautiful Convertible Coupe is all that and then some... Call us for details. 1956 Buick 60 Special 'The Best Buick Yet!" as it was claimed by GM execs of the era. Buick first used the Century nameplate in the 1930s, commemorating its ability to exceed 100 mph. The year to see a Buick wearing the 'Century' name in the post World War II was in 1954. This model had Buick's most powerful engine in the smallest model, and fitted with tastefully understated bodywork. The Century's 'Fireball' overhead-valve V8 engine was capable of producing 255 horsepower in 1956. Zero-to-sixty took less than ten seconds, with the quarter-mile times of around 17 seconds and a top speed exceeding 110 mph. That same engine is now in 1956 used in the '60 Special' Beautiful Automobile and an obvious Bar Raiser in Automotive Technology and Styling Advancements.
