It's not every day you see a 1955 Buick Century Wagon, and even rarer to find one like this—fully restored, meticulously finished, and ready to cruise. Built during Buick's horsepower-hungry “Nailhead” era, this long-roof hauler blends period-correct class with some carefully integrated modern upgrades.
Under the hood lives the 322ci Fireball V8, Buick's first overhead valve powerhouse that gave the Century its name—because it could hit 100 mph, a big deal in '55. It's paired with the smooth-as-silk Dynaflow automatic, a transmission that practically defines vintage Buick luxury. Fire it up, and the dual exhaust lets out a subtle rumble that reminds you this wagon wasn't just built to carry groceries—it was built to move.
Finished in a striking shade of blue, the exterior keeps its classic charm with original hubcaps wrapped in Coker Classic wide whitewalls. Inside, the blue and white interior screams mid-century Americana. The Painless wiring harness keeps things reliable, while Vintage Air underdash A/C brings modern comfort without spoiling the look. Power steering and power brakes add welcome ease behind the wheel.
Originally marketed as the “banker's hot rod,” the Century Wagon was the sleeper of its day—rare, fast, and expensive. Buick only made about 8,500 of them in 1955, and very few survive with this level of attention to detail. Most were run hard and put away wet. This one clearly wasn't.
Whether you're headed to a show or just want to cruise in style with the whole crew, this Buick delivers vintage vibes with subtle upgrades that make all the difference. It's not just a classic, it's a statement.
