1957 Buick Special - FOR SALE at Ellingson Motorcars in Rogers, MN

This 1957 Buick Special is a charming 50s cruiser that would make a great entry-level classic car. To much surprise, Buick seemed to take a step back in terms of its sale in 1957. In fact, the GM marque saw a nearly 25% decline in sales and dropped to 4th place among America's automakers, replaced by Plymouth. The reason for Buick's decline in 1957 is a bit of a mystery and it certainly wasn't for Buick's lack of effort. When the 1957 Buicks debuted, there were absolutely gorgeous and sported completely redesigned bodies that were lower and wider which gave them a much more modern look. In addition to Buick's brand-new style in 1957, both inside and out, Buick also rolled out a brand-new engine across its entire passenger car lineup, the 364 "Nailhead", an architecture that would be used by Buick for nearly the decade that followed. In total, Buick produced 23,180 Special 2 door Sedans which explains why you don't see many of them at the local car shows or cruising down the road. Under the hood on this Buick Special is a Numbers Matching 364 Cubic Inch "Nailhead" V8 fed by a single 2 barrel carburetor that together were said to have created 250 horsepower when new. The 364 Nailhead V8 is backed by a Dynaflow Automatic transmission which was a $220 option back in 1957 and makes this 50s Buick an easy car for just about anybody to drive. A driver's side chrome outside mirror is a welcome addition to this '57 Buick Special since it makes squeezing in and out of a tight parking space much easier. Riding on a set of wide whitewall bias-ply tires mounted on red painted steel rims and accented with full Buick wheelcovers, this Series 40 Special has a fantastic look while parked or while cruising down the road. The exterior of this 1957 Special has been refinished in a gorgeous two-tone paint scheme consisting of a Kearney Green over Mint Green, with red accents, completing the exterior look of the car. The interior on this 1957 Buick Special 2 door sedan is charming! The front and rear bench seats are correctly upholstered in two-tone green vinyl with cloth inserts. The green carpeting, door panels, painted dash, and steering wheel have a fantastic stock look and appear to retain a nice stock look. The instrument cluster is outfitted with a a 120 MPH ribbon-style speedometer, temperature gauge, oil pressure gauge, amp gauge, and gasoline gauge. The dash is completed with the heater/defroster and lighting controls, along with a locking glove box. Whether you're buying your very first classic car or you're adding to an existing collection, this 1957 Buick Special would make an excellent choice. Give Ellingson's a call today at 763-428-7337!

Super nice special, my dad bought one new the day I was born in 1957. I remember that car. Always said I would have one someday.

I was born in 1949. My father bought this exact color Buick special 2 door sedan new in 1957. I got my drivers license in the car in 1967. I do mean, the EXACT SAME COLOR car. I have a color picture with dad standing next to his car. ❤But do all the gauges work, plus the red speedometer bar that moves ?

Para vender Buicks hay que aprender primero la diferencia entre un Super y un Special. El que está ofreciendo es un Special.
