Description

Vehicle: Buick Century Model 63, year 1956, 4-Door Hardtop without B-pillar.

Chassis number / VIN: 6 C6007…
Style No: 56-4639
BODY No: BA
TRIM No: 613
Paint No: PKP
Top: ACC

Transmission type: Dynaflow automatic

Mileage (odometer reading): 90782 mls (may still change, as the car is driven regularly)

The car drives very well and is very reliable.

Location: Hanover (Lower Saxony, Germany)

One of the rare models with the characteristic pillarless, frameless-glazed body – in this combination of model year, body style and original condition, it is now hardly to be found on the European market.
The Century differs from the contemporary Buick Special through its more powerful Roadmaster engine in the lighter Special body – making it the most powerful Buick in its class for the 1956 model year and a sought-after model among enthusiasts.

Condition:The vehicle is in very original overall condition. The paint is in the 2-tone colour combination Glacier Green / Cameo Beige. The Glacier Green thermoplastic paint has an honest patina that underlines the vehicle's original character.

Technically in very good condition with maintenance history since 2022 (in my possession since then)
HU valid until 02/2027.
