This car has been in our family for its entire life. My uncle bought it brand new on March 23. 955 from Maher Buick in New Castle. Indiana. I still have the original dealer invoice.

When my uncle passed away my Dad inherited it. I inherited the car when my Dad passed away.

The car has the original 322 Engine. There are 59. 56 miles which are original miles.

I had it painted 3-4 years ago. I also had new upholstery and seatbelts at that time. Other than those items. the car is all original.

6B1096598

The cowl tag (pictured below) reads as follows:
1955 MOD. 55-66C

Top ACC B1

Among other documentation. the car comes with: 

- The original dealer invoice

There is no rust on the body. You can see from the photos the normal expected surface rust on the underside but nothing more.  

It runs and drives terrific.

Overall the car is in great condition with a few minor issues that could use attention. Specifically. the motor for the convertible top is frozen in the down position. The gas gauge is not working. I have not looked into what is wrong.  

The car is located in Winchester. KY.

There's lots of pictures for you - and a video showing you how this car runs.  

The photos and video were taken just a few days ago - July 22nd. 2013 - on my horse farm where I live.  

Serious bidders only.
