Wonderfully restored station wagon! In the early to mid 50s Buick was on a roll, #4 in sales, chasing and sometimes passing Plymouth for #3. This wagon is a great example of how they did that.

It's been decades sinch I saw a Buick station wagon like this excellent '55. Buick sales were up in the fifties and as you stated sometimes passing number three Plymouth. Finding a car like this that is so rare and in such good condition is a thrill. Thanks ML. I'm glad you like this as well and also thanks for your comments.

$3,175.00 was a lot of money back then. My folks paid about $3,500.00 for their first home in 1953. This Buick wagon is a standout for sure. Thank you for sharing your passion for cars.

You can say that again ! The fifties produced some excellent cars and trucks in style and horsepower. And not these vintage American cars are sought after world wide. Thanks for enjoying !

Hi 55lincoln, Wow in 1955 that was some luxury vehicle. It spells luxury ,Buick station wagon would have been the ultimate in luxury wagons. I would love to know the history behind this . Maybe a movie star,maybe a big executive of McDonald's, could also have been a very wealthy family . This is one gorgeous car ,and I am sure it also has had a privilege life. If only it could talk. Thanks for your video

Yes, another example of a vintage car that makes you wonder just what kind of life it had. Who owned it. Where and when was it bought. I think this must have been garaged all it's life. What a pleasure to see a Buick wagon like this up close. Thanks Austin for liking.

@@Philip-ll3ds No Gary isn't weird it's just that many car buffs seem to like other types of car models. Thanks Phillip for watching.

My dad didn’t like the curves windshield when they came out. There was a friend of the family that shared sentiment.

I suppose your Dad always had a history of driving cars with those flat windshields. I can see why after years of driving why someone wouldn't care for that new fangled curved windshield. Thanks for watching this Buick wagon Mark.
