Description

Forged in American automotive excellence, this 1956 Buick Century transforms classic design into something truly menacing. Fully covered in black metallic paint with subtle flakes that add depth and dimension to every curve and contour, this Buick makes an immediate impression with its bold appearance. The exterior is accentuated by gleaming chrome trim that outlines the distinctive body lines, creating a perfect contrast against the dark canvas. The stance is low, sitting atop 15" Weld Racing wheels wrapped in 215/75R15 front and massive 315/60R15 rear tires that give this vintage machine a modern, performance-oriented look.

The white and black vinyl interior creates a stark, high-contrast environment that balances classic aesthetics with updated comfort. Split-bench seats offer ample support while maintaining the period-correct style that made these Buicks so distinctive. The dashboard features clear, legible gauges that provide all necessary information at a glance. Modern amenities include air conditioning to keep things cool, power steering for effortless control, and an AM/FM stereo with cassette deck to provide the soundtrack for your journey. The tilt steering wheel and floor-mounted shifter complete the driver-focused layout.

Beneath the streamlined hood resides a 322 Nailhead V8 engine that's been enhanced with a tri-power setup featuring three two-barrel carburetors. The aluminum Offenhauser valve covers and valley cover add both style and function, while the aluminum radiator keeps temperatures in check during extended drives. Power is transferred to the rear wheels through a Borg Warner T5 5-speed manual transmission that offers precise gear selection and improved highway cruising capability. Dual exhaust with Cherry Bomb mufflers completes the exhaust system.
