This 1955 Buick Series 50 Super will become my new junkyard flip after almost 30 years of sitting in a field. Biggest question for this series is, will it run and drive? The story goes, original owner towed an Airstream camper and sold it as a pair after sitting for 27 years. Second owner let it sit for about 2 years and decided to split out the Buick from the Airstream. Now it's my turn, and it's time to determine if it'll run again?

On a Buick the gas pedal is the switch to the starter. Turn key to on and push the gas pedal.

@StateFun Год назад

Yeah, gotta get the gas pedal first! Also gotta get the throttle linkage fixed!

@Ian-of9oi Год назад

I forgot about that also.

@marauder600 Год назад

Had a pretty nice 56 four door that worked the same way. Two tone paint and was actually quite reliable!

In this case the gas pedal is missing.

It's crazy how some cars are left abandoned for years until someone takes it and gives it good care.

@@StateFun I had a fire engine red '59 Chevy Impala in the 80s. It was clean and straight, but the old 283 was toast. I found a wrecked 72 Nova, dropped in the 350, and voila!

Hello Jake, love that 55 Super! By now you know the engine is a 322 Buick Nail Head. It has close to 200 HP. The Difference between the Super and Roadmaster, is trim and the 4 barrel carburetor. One of my older Brothers had a 55 Super Riviera 2 Dr. It was pretty quick, Brother put a 4 Barrel Carburetor on the engine. It did make a difference. Also in 55 Buick used what's called vertical pitch in the transmission, it was passing gear. Dynaflow transmission never shifted on its own. (D) Drive was Drive (L) Low was Low there was no shifting from low to Drive. Hope to see you driving it.

Buick engines in my 1953 Ford 2-door Customline Ford.........It was a great swap from the old flathead to an overhead valve engine that is called a Nailhead today........It was also changed to a 12 volt system and my brother put resistors on all the 6-volt gauges so I could still use them........The engine costs 100 dollars used and I scored a 3 carb set-up for 50 bucks........All the adapters were home made except for the aluminum bellhousing......The car and engine ran great.......You can't beat those prices from years ago.........

Last car my Dad drove before he passed was a 55 ' Buick. I believe the black curved panels in the car go around the ends of the front seat. They look like kick panels to me. I hope you clean the Buick up and put the interior back together the best you can.

@StateFun Год назад

Hmm. Guess I'll have to try fitting those when I get that interior back in. I'm not sure if I'm going to recover the existing seats or try to swap out for buckets in the front with a custom center console. The rear is a little tricky with the space it fits into.

@gears9741 Год назад

@@StateFun UPDATING THE INTERIOR WOULD BE NICE BUT, FOR THAT CAR ORGINAL MAYBE YOUR BEST BET.

LOOKING FORWARD TO SEE WHAT YOU DECIDE TO DO.

@@StateFun I would keep the original seats. They are more comfortable than you would expect. But IF you do decide to go with front bucket seats in it, I would recommend getting them from just about any early to mid 60s GM BIGGER CAR like a Jetfire, Riviera, Impala.... Basically any bigger GM car from no newer than 65 or 66 can look acceptable whereas newer one just look out of place in those 50s Buicks. car whether from Buick, Olds, Pontiac or Chevy

I had my uncles '63 Buick Lesabre with essentially this same "Nail Head" buick engine but mine was the newer 401cu in version, there was also a Wildcat version in the sixties with high compression and dual four barrel carburetors, available in the Riviera or Wildcat and later I think the GS models. Around '66 Buick introduced new ohv engine designs and retired the famous "Nailhead" configuration, so named for its flat valve cover and valve angle arrangement.

I think maybe you might be incorrect on the engine size. No it is I who is wrong. My dad had a 57 Special. It had a 322 cu in V-8. I thought the Super had a 364 in 57. But in 55 they all had the 5.3 322 cu in. The Super, Century and Roadmaster should have a 4 bbl, while the Special should be a 2bbl, I believe. My dad also had a 56 Super. I had a 53 Special for a short time when I first got back from Vietnam. All of them had the 2 spd Dynaflow. All Buicks in the 50s were great cars and I liked them all. The 57 my dad had was the car I learned to drive in (along with my grandpa's 49 Chev PU. But, I always had a soft spot for Buick. Would certainly be a good car to restore, in my opinion. Good job!!

@StateFun Год назад

I was kinda expecting it to have the 4bbl carb when I bought it, when I try to search for parts there's a 2bbl and a 4 bbl option, and I can't imagine someone would take a 4bbl off to put a 2 bbl on, so I can only assume it's the stock configuration

I enjoyed the Golden Retrievers. I want to thank you for not using the trite slang in describing a Buick engine of that era. I am confident that the heads are not made of wood and nailed to the engine block as I am equally certain that you can't put together an inline 6 Chevrolet by going to a hardware store and grabbing a bag of stove bolts. Folks are just being lazy. I like post war GM cars and trucks. Keep up the good work.

@StateFun Год назад

Haha I hadn't heard the joke about nailing wood as a head for this "nailhead" engine. I appreciate the references, I had an inline 235 in my 66 c20 before the frame/body swap. Thanks for the comment!

@1940limited Год назад

There should be a splash pan protecting the starter from water getting into the solenoid. Lots of times that pan is missing and the solenoid gets wet from driving in the rain and the starter won't work. The 4 BBL carb and manifold in the trunk is the right one for the car. The 2 BBL carb is from a Special, the smaller series Buick.

@wessmith7408 Год назад

You do realize that to actuate the starter, you use the accelerator. Buick, like Packard, when the accelerator was depressed was triggered from the carburetor. I'm not sure if trying to by pass that will work. Somewhere in my mind I believe if the ignition were in the off or lock position the engine would not turn over. See, I am a bit older than this car. We had a 56 Roadmaster. I'm sure you are past this as it was 2 weeks ago.

I'm aware, main problem was that the throttle linkage was stuck!
