The seats look quite new and feel as supple as leather. The inside coordinates with the outside perfectly where the same paint scheme continues on the dash, and there's a copper vinyl used on the seats and door panels. Lovers of brightwork still don't miss out in this Roadmaster thanks to the large American Racing wheels.
A custom rear bumper has been created that is painted the car's colors and fits sung to the body for a sportier appearance that helps highlight the jet-inspired taillights. But that's not the only place the chrome has been removed. Even the door handles have been painted this color for a smoother appearance.
#1950 BUICK ROADMASTER 0 60 PROFESSIONAL#
Plenty of Buicks of this era has the tri-tone paint effect but the precious metal shines on this one with the kind of luster you can only get from a modern and professional application. It starts with the Copper Metallic paint that's sandwiched in between the two areas of white.
But as special as any Roadmaster Riviera is, this one has plenty of custom touches to hint at its more modern appeal. It only gets better in the Riviera specification that helped emphasize the dip line in the doors by making this coupe body a pillarless hardtop. The range-topping Roadmaster did it the best with painted fender wells, golden trim, more fender portholes, and those Dagmars that were truly sex appeal on wheels. Buick just seemed to have the best sense of premium style in the 1950s, and they were hardly subtle about it. Does it sound too good to be true? Then just keep reading about this 1955 Buick Roadmaster Riviera.
