Selling my 1954 Buick special
Original matching numbers Californian black plate Buick.
Held in a private collection in San Francisco for approximately 30 years before it was exported to the UK in 2012. Sold from Waters Buick in 1954.
Bought for our wedding car and and then used for wedding car hire (approximately 5-6 weddings a year) till 2019 when circumstances and life prevented us hiring it out.
Been kept under cover since we bought in 2013.
The engine was overhauled in 2019 with new pistons and bearings and cam shaft.
Currently in storage but can get more photos if requested.
A real head turner but can no longer store it.

Please share if you know anyone looking for an American classic.

Mr Buick outside sacred Heart church in Wideopen yesterday in the blazing heat for Emma and Alex's wedding. Emma chose not to have ribbons on the car and hoped the sun would shine for the chrome to shine- which it sure did. Congratulations guys hope you had an amazing day

Andrea loved the surprise her Groom and Friend arranged to be be picked up in the Buick. The rain cleared up for the bride and groom, lovely day in North Shields at the beautiful registry office. Built in 1806 you have to agree it's a hidden gem in the north east. #1950 #1806

Well it might be raining this morning but the Buick still looks fantastic and brightens up the day. Let's still hope the rain clears up a little before we pick up the Bride this afternoon 🙏🏻 #1954 #1950
