1956 Buick Special Hardtop Custom 322 CI Engine in Red / Black on My Car Story with Lou Costabile 

Hi, If you like this video, please click on SUPER THANKS ❤ with the $ in the middle which is the SUPER THANKS button under the video. Thank you! Lou

Imagine in 1956 there were cars this cool all over. She’s a beauty.

It's just gorgeous! I love the hood scoop/ornament and the hidden tail pipes through the bumper. I love that it's a driver, too. What a treat for all to see. Thanks, Lou!

Fabulous car and loaded with “Bling”! A jewelry store display can’t hold a candle to this! Again the modifications makes this car a much better driver and doesn’t detract from the beauty. The 2 owner story is a story of a love affair with this car. Easy car to fall for! Lou thanks for finding this “Gem” and sharing it with us!❤❤❤👍

What a stunner. And this being the “small” entry model.Absolutely beautiful. ❤🖤

That’s the most special ‘56 Special I’ve ever seen. My beloved late neighbor Sal and Judy who I’ve always warmly considered my second pair of parents owned one when I was born until 1965 when he bought an Olds 98 LS 4dr Luxury pillared hardtop sedan with the beautiful rear seat console on the back of the front seat with passenger assist pulls and the illuminated tissue box holder with the mirror under the pull down door. He always drove beautiful cars like these. His Special was also a two door because when they bought it their two children were toddlers and they didn’t want a four door because they didn’t want them opening the rear doors but by 1965 they were old enough. These are beautiful memories of wonderful and good times filled with hope for the future. We were headed for space and eventually we made it to the moon.

Keep finding these great cars for us.

Just beautiful! Thank you!

Ken's Buick is a "Special" ride indeed. Thanks Lou.

this is what you can call automotive BLING. lou i had to wear sunglasses to watch this video looking at this beauty. thanks lou, now i need to go to my optometrist. LOL. 😎

Beautiful survivor and I am REALLY glad Ken drives it. That car is meant to be seen on the road by as many people as possible.

Love the Buick Special. Such great cars. Thanks Lou!

I do remember seeing many 1955 and 1956 models and yet I was born in 1957! They were very popular.

Beautiful old Buick Lou love these thanks for showing God Bless.

Another beautiful Buick!!! Thanks Lou!

Very nice Buick! Great colour and stunning condition. Thanks for bringing this “special” treat to us Lou!

Just beautiful! Detroit artwork at its finest!

Lou, Harley Earle at his finest. I must say, the mods are well integrated...tasty!

Great story, Lou! That's one beautiful old Buick! Cheers!😁👍🛠️🔧🤟

Lou my parents had a 1956 Buick Roadmaster. Two tone. Blue and white. That car weighed a lot. This was a pretty Buick Special. Thanks for sharing!

That is an awesome Buick! Gorgeous classic!

Beautiful Buick 😍😍😍😍😍 Thanks Lou!

Morning, Lou - That red paint, wow! Been away from your channel for some time kinda struggling to get back on my feet, but it's so good to be able to start getting caught up. I've missed your almost daily "Company" and seeing what you have next to show us. Now that exhaust here on this Buick would really "Put the baby to sleep!" Take good care, Lou - God bless & thanks always...

That's a very special Buick Lou.

That's one beautiful Buick!

Hi Lou, what a great looking Buick, the colour and the wheels really set the car of, that guys car is outstanding.👍👍.

Absolutely gorgeous!

Had a '55 Special once. Best car I've ever owned.

Wow, beautiful '56 Buick!. The upgrades really work well. Great job, thanks for video.

Gorgeous car❤️🖤❤️🖤❤️🖤

i remember this in a beautiful grey and blue, a sort of turquoisey blue. what a beauty.

This car is look so fantastic and sharp!

Unbelievable car original spare never been on the ground just incredible terrific piece ❤

WOW, what an absolutely beautiful car. I tend to be pro-Pontiac, but this is gorgeous... Great car for a vid, Lou..

Beautiful. About my favorite car. I would totally daily it.

Cool Buick ! Love the color and dashboard

Beautiful Buick

Hi Lou, that Buick is spectacular !

Fabulous car👍👍

The car is stunning! I’ve never seen original chrome hold up that well!

Beautiful car!

Great restomod. Just saying I like restomods with original looking wheels. But this is a beautiful restoration. Thanks for showing Lou.

Beautiful Buick! I remember these very well when I was 12 years old. The color scheme is great! (I would prefer original wheels and Buick wheel covers though). Thank you Lou!

Wow, the good ole days! We lost something since then.

My favorite year. My dad had so many of them when I was young I lost count.

Thanks!

I wouldn’t mind having a Buick one day.

Чудове авто і класна реставрація! Дякую!

Back in the day we would see 10 or more 56' Buicks a day.

My family had a 54 Buick Special when I was a kid. I always liked the 54 because it didn't have fins . Love to have one now.... I'd drop a 425 with dual fours in. Vroom.... I love what the owner has done with this 56. Very Cool.

I do like the Conelrad triangles on this old radio. Amazes me that a car in the price range of this Buick had a hang on heater control panel. What was Buick thinking of? Pontiac, of course, was famous in the 50s for beautifully integrating their heater controls into their dashboards, including lighting for night driving.

1956 and 1955 Buicks are hard to find on the internet. Sometimes I copy pictures and it's a challenge to find these monsters!

Ken has a very beautiful car!! He reminds me in appearance of actor Phil Silvers.

That almost looks like a hardtop version of the Buick from the movie "RAINMAN"!! Of course, Wapner is on at 5! LOL Beautiful Buick.

Very cool Buick. Great video Lou!

Great car with a great license plate!

🙋‍♂️ THANKS LOU ,KEN DICK FOR SHARING A SPECIAL SPECIAL 🤩 LOVE ❤ THE COLOR AND THE MODS 💚💚💚

Everybody has different ideas what to do with a car but I know I would have kept this car original, that original owner who obviously loved this car only put an average of 700 miles a year on it , all original interior and no rust ,I would think keeping it original would have been much better and a tribute to the old man who bought it new and cherished it, if it was mine I would have kept it original, old cars are hard to find in that great original shape. Thanks Ken for keeping it beautiful and alive and using it ,I'm not banging on you too hard Ken because you didn't destroy it by no means I was just adding my two cents in,😃 keep on enjoying it and thank you Lou for your great Channel

My favorite year/style Buick....Would like to find hard top to cruise to "car shows"...😂

I wonder if all of the 1956 models had the name in the grill and repeated on the trunk? Love that! Anyone here know if that was the case? Elegantly Beautiful. Red/Black is such a great 50's color combination. Beautiful original condition. This is the day when you drove a Buick, you knew it was a cut above. Not what they became in the late 70's and 80's when the materials, shape, etc. in GM products were all the same. Engine bay was so clean!!! Love this CAR!

My parents had the 56 Buick Super 2dr. hope. same black/red two tone ,had 4 round holes in the fender.

Beautiful car ! Lou thanks for showing us beautiful cars! 😊

Bello ese Buick...😍😍😍😍😍😍💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

That’s a Buick (mild) hot rod. Pretty cool.

😂 "That's like showing me a pimple on a super model."-Lou Costabile

Beautiful car with a great color combination. I Like the big chrome rims. He made some very practical upgrades. Lou you did a great job on the Story. Did he add a dual master brake cylinder when he upgraded to power brakes? What was special about the Sonomatic radio and was the clock running?

Beautiful car Lou, my grandparents had a 1956 Buick 2 door hardtop way before my time. I don't know if it was a Special ot not. I believe that my mom had told me it was Red and White. I wonder if the red and black was a rare color combo?

Feel safe,when driving this car.....

She's a beaut!

Hey Santa don't forget my list I mailed you!!!

On the early production 56 Buick's the hood scoop was functional. On later models the black openings were simply painted on . Those wheels greatly detract from the car.

When I was about 10 y o guy next door drag raced his 56 on the street a block away. Open headers

Like this Buick better than the tri-five Chevrolets. Custom wheels are not over the top, great addition.

What a beautiful car. I own a 1957 Buick special. However, the power steering pump that he was showing you is not original 1956. That's 1959 and later.

Lou I think Burt Reynolds had done a movie with a Buick, not the same year car,❤

The first car I remember was my Dad's '54 Special, white over maroon. Definitely not "rust free" that's for sure. That car just slowly disintegrated into millions of corroded bits

Beautiful Buick. Although the wheels aren’t my style

Love the car ! But not everyone loves the color !

Belt dressing should take care of that!!!!

Why can't Buick return to this old time quality?

Wouldn't You Really Rather Have A Buick?

Tacky wheels need go ... buick sklark wire wheels better fit 😊

I don't like those wheels and tires. The original wheels and whitewalls would have looked better.

Nice car. But your audio sucks.😊
