Bad-Ass Buick: 1955 Special - /BIG MUSCLE 

I miss those interiors. Real metal, bench seats, manual cranks, open space, regular gauges. Ahhh look at that wrap around window. I love America

u never truely get what you want unless you build it your self. no truer words have ever been spoken.!!

Harry Fisher couldn't have said it better. "Start you passion. Start your love. Do little things to make it YOUR car". Awesome.

Mike, I'm a little surprised to hear that you are just now coming up on step with the design of 40s and 50s cars. So much to love.

I never thought a '50s cars could look so beautiful like this one. (This car has CHARISMA!!) Not a '50s car fan though, but now I'm really starting to like it! This particular car totally changed my views. Good work Mike, keep bringing out more classic beauties!

A dream of a car. One of the most beautiful designs of automobile history

I owned 4 of these back in the day. When I see this car it almost makes me cry...I love it!

Harry is awesome..... yet another great episode of Big Muscle

Videos like these make me think back to cars I didn't buy and make me wish I had.

This is one of my favourite "shows" on drive. This host gives honest descriptions of the cars, and is willing to look at all cars. Well done.

Damn, I could almost see Broderick Crawford in Highway Patrol coming down that road. Great vid, keep sharing!

Got a 55 Buick Special that is getting there,cool bad Buick,glad to see some one else has them 2,Joker

Just about the most well done car I've seen since the show started. It's as perfect as perfect gets...which is perfect. And I love that its got a proper big block, not a dreary LS motor.

Read a classic car magazine in my teens, with an article about a white 1955 Buick Special sedan. I fell in love. I just like the styling so much, both front back, sides, interior, everything. This is my dream car. This styling, with modern everything else. Fantastic!:-)

Harry Fisher, the owner, seems to be a great man, and a very smart one. Somehow I like listening to him, his speech just flows, and it's flawless. I wonder if he's a lecturer or something. He certainly could be one. Respect!

Wow, what a great episode. Kudos to Harry Fisher and /Drive for bringing me/us an extraordinary ride in quite possibly the most streetably perfect car of BIG MUSCLE. Thank you!

Damn, Harry Fisher is like the Bob Ross of cars.

55 Special was nicer than 55 Chevy Bel Air

i know guys in florida that have had cars for over 30-40 yrs with no problems!!!! it was great to watch this video

Harry Fisher, you did a wonderful job with this great 55 Buick Special 2 Dr sedan!

To the owner of this BAD ASS buick, you seem like a great guy and this car is amazing. Thanks for sharing this with us all.

Very cool owner. And Mike @ 8:00=funny. He's one of the most real car testers on the internet. Great, genuine personality. Always enjoy his reviews. Thanks.

Such an awesome car. Please do more cars from the 40s and 50s!

I bought one of these with a stick shift in 1963. Lots of fun winding up that little nailhead. As I recall that was one of the Buicks with an extra heater coil under the driver's side of the bench seat. No worries about wintertime cold toes. Always made me nervous when I put one of those Buicks of that era up on a hoist and saw heater hoses underneath the car where they were subjected to all manner of insults by sticks and stones and etc. One good bang, you get a leak, and lose all of your coolant. Lots of ways to make a really nice car out of one of these, which he did. And, yes, I remember how much I enjoyed watching Broderick Crawford and the Highway Patrol show with my Dad.

I'm watching more and more big muscle. Was never into this car culture before. Beautiful.

This owner is smart , knows what he is talking about and also brings tips for young to start with .... great mind and heart for car passion

"...and just make your car yours". This guy deserves a medal. Period.

i like the way this car's owner thinks beautiful ride

The first car I remember and the car my Dad owned when I was born was a '55 Buick Special. Two tone paint and one of the coolest front bumpers ever. I remember driving on the same roads in the video. Very cool that Mike spent 10 hours toolin around the Delta. Those levee roads are some of the best driving and motorcycle riding there is. The only thing better is flying down the river in a big muscle boat. No stop lights, no speed limits, and the girls are half-naked when they get in.

My father bought a new Buick Special 2 door sedan in 1955 for $2500 (still have receipt). It was green with ivory top, sounded like a boat and stalled a lot, but 4 kids and a German shepherd fit in the back seat. Loved this video, thanks

I absolutely love with Harrys' philosophy about cars.

If you're going to host a car show, you ought to know what you're talking about! First, the Special was available as a two door post sedan, yes...but also as a two door hardtop (no post), four door post or hardtop, station wagon, and convertible. Secondly, the model line up was Special, Century, Super, Roadmaster. You forgot the Super, which was the most popular 55 Buick of all! C'mon Dude!

I've always loved cars from the 40's and 50's, but like most of us, much of the passion has to do with the time you can take to really appreciate them. Believe me, you will be seeing of them in the future.

These videos keep my automotive passion alive through rough times.

Good to see the enthusiasm on the fast good looking older cars.

The Buick; What a handsome bad ass hunk or a machine!

This is a man's muscle car. Beautiful, elegant and pin you in the seat blistering power. Best of all, it drives like a normal car.

Gorgeous Buick. Love the fact that he focused on reliability and drivability. This is the type of vintage car I could own and enjoy. Great job Mr. Fisher.

"When you think of 55 Buick you don't necessarily think of style"? Is this dude on meth? Buick WAS style back then.

What a gorgeously made car

Musto . . .you need more than 10-13 minutes. I cant get enough of watching you drive and talk about these sweet cars.

Harry Fisher's one of the coolest owners I've seen on the show. What an awesome philosophy he's got. Great vid guys!

Gawdddd... that is a gorgeous car!!!

Thanks for this, I’ve been watching these cars for a while and just got my hands on one, going to pick it up next week.

Love the Buick. Buick make my favorite cars of all time. Wish this had a Buick powerplant but love the hotrod nonetheless

Still the best car review channel ever, miss it. Mike was the best.

A lot of respect to the owner of this car. You don't have to spend a ton of money, you can spend a little and then do a bunch of little things to it. There's no reason why anyone should have to drop their life savings on a car to have one they love and can have fun with.

Mine was a '55 Super. I liked the killer front end with those bullet bumpers, and the instrument cluster. Also, It was my first car with power windows. I was also impressed by the (factory) sound system in that car: the bass tone was FAT!

That's a beautiful car, and a humble owner. All around great package and what it's all about.

He was saying what many greybeards have told me - buy someone's 90% finished project and save a ton of cash. I didn't listen when I was in my 20s - but now that I'm in my 40s that's all I buy. Smart man.

Mike, thanks for a wonderful car video. I appreciate the cars from the 50s. This one was clean and well turned out. Please keep them coming.

Buick's nailhead engine was once a nascar race race, and considering I came from a family of Buicks,1964-66 mostly Electra and at least one Buick wildcat sedan 64

Big muscle and Drive Clean are by far my favorite 2 shows on this channel. Keep it up Mike!

what an amazing machine, and the owner has a great philosophy.

The greatest piece of advice, "make it your car, not somebody else's."

Mr. Fisher really kind of gives me a sense of inspiration. Thank you for bringing him to the show.

Beautiful! Awesome as always Mike! Keep this up! Cant wait for next episode! :) Really like the people behind these cars, you really know how to find them! :)

i love it when they don't ruin the original looks. modern upgrade to the drivetrain is completely necessary

A true car person owns this car. Love that. Love that it's a driver. Good job.

Some many gems where dropped in this video!!

You were on the Delta, Sac Delta. Old highway connecting the bay area to Sac for many years. Very historic ......Great show once again and yes nothing like driving the couch. Thanks Drive BigMuscle

A few words for you, Dan. I love that 1) you're on a show about muscle cars trying to hype up electric, 2) you have zero supporting evidence or citation behind your facts, 3) you keep using "good and evil" as supporting facts, and 4) you consider yourself a genius even though you're calling people idiots, nitwits, and cursing at them. You're a true gentleman and a man if great intellect. Dare I say it, the Stephen Hawking of electric cars?

55 Buick Specials (3 Hole) also was available in a 2 & 4 door hardtops, convertibles. The one in this video is a Special 2 door sedan. In 1955, Buick was #3 in sales.

This is slowly starting to be the BEST car show i seen.. next to Top Gear the uk version obviously

Big Muscle keeps getting better... great product guys!

its funny how my 2004 korean muscle covers all the basics- so desired in this show: brakes, silence, corners and yet I'm the guy watching this show and wishing to feel all these things and be there with these cars

I like the way Harry Fisher thinks.

that Mr Fisher is one heck of a cool man ! admirable passion!

Owner seems cool and down to earth. And because he drives a Buick😎

this is the most beautiful car they've had on the show yet...

Love your car, Harry Fisher. Kind regards, Miguel

Whooo! Loved that torque!! 🤗💕.thanks for sharing.

Harry Fisher is incredibly inspirational.

one of the most beautiful classics to appear on Drive yet! That's a sexy machine!

Nino Cutraro (BM editor extraordinaire) is the MAN when it comes to music. Helps that he's also one helluva musician as well.

Wow! That is the coolest 55 Buick I have ever seen. Wish it was mine! Great video :)

My parents bought the 1955 Buick Special ..single color...fire engine red. Only good car we ever owned. I'd LOVE the chance to get behind the wheel...

8:44 this statement is what keeps me going on my Monte Carlo even when money is tight and it looks like no end is in sight, super motivation from Harry.

what a beautiful machine, I love the lines of the 55. Not to mention how wonderful riding around on a sofa all day would be.

Harry's little speech on kids saying they weren't able to afford a hot rod is literally the story of my life. You can have a start with a little luck or a little money. I'm starting my hot rodding career with a hand-me down 1970 Chevelle.My grandpa bought the car and built it for my mom as a high school graduation present because that's the car she wanted. She drove it for 4 or 5 years before I was born. She brought me home from the hospital in that car and that is what started me on my hot rodding road. She stopped driving it because of gas and a few other problems so she got other cars but still kept it. She never planned on selling it even though she was offered almost 50k for it. It was a sentimental thing. 2008 was the last time it was driven and retired to the driveway. Fast forward to 2012-2013 I had some money and was getting to the age to where I was about to start driving. We got the motor running again after 5 years of dormancy. I spent all the money I saved up to buy a set of tires just to get it rolling even though it wouldn't be road legal for another year.Then the tags and registration came. I was handed the keys as soon as I got my license last year when I turned 16. I didn't even have a job but I spent the little money I made working at a family members house just to put gas in the tank. Then I got a more legit job working at a trap club and that's when I started doing mods and fixing things. Then came my first job and then I started getting the money to do the little things and it just keeps on going from there. It takes time but when things start rolling with a project it gets done. Us young kids that are just getting these old cars to fix up are keeping the hobby alive. It dont have to be a tri five chevy or some muscle car or a Mustang, it could be a Chevy Vega, an old wagon, an old truck or just something handed down. That's what hot rodding is about. The passion and the hobby

This guy is a top lad

That was good. Wow. Just shows that you can have lots of muscle yet not be a wild child about it. Would love this as a daily driver.

A thing of beauty! And one very intelligent owner

I think we had an orange one of these as a family car either in 1955 or maybe a year or two after. I remember hearing about a long trip where my Mom was driving it and going 90. Evidently, my Dad told her to slow down but she ignored him. After that I don't remember her ever driving when we were all going somewhere by car.

This car is gorgeous, smooth, powerful, and different than the ubiquitous Tri Five Chevy or '69 Camaro. Well done, sir!

Mike, I've been watching since is beginning and this is by far my favorite feature. Keep you the good work, and mad respect to Mr. Fisher.

Such a beautifully turned out car. Kudos to the owner for being so cool as well.

my father had a beautiful deep green over white 55 Roadmaster sedan in 1962 and as a 7 year old, I remember all the space in the backseat , with the flip out ashtray and grab rope attached to the rear of the front seats...also remember the ignition switch set up, so a key did not have to be used if selected....and I remember the huge front bumper design but can't remember if it had 3 or 4 ports.......

I love love love those old 50's buicks. They are just a sweet all around car, big, comfortable, and stylish. What I'd do to be able to afford a project like this. The other thing I like is you can make then a high gloss show and shine or a rat rod themed primer car

The 40's and 50's cars are very honest. These are the only cars guys admit they buy because they look cool.

I remember the nights at the drive-in movies,,,,,great car man...

Wow...beautiful car. The passion of the owner really shows.

i love the owner. all my friends say they want to have a classic car but cant do mechanical work. I always say just buy one and you will figure it out. the past 3 years i learned how to weld, refurbish a engine, tune a engine, and do body work. the hole fun part is to make the car yours with little stuff. i would really like a galaxy to bad in europe they cost a fortune. so il just keep my volvo amazon

Calling it Bad-Ass is an understatement.

Very cool. Wish Buick could still pull off this kind of style.

YOU JUST BLEW MY MIND, DAN FREDERIKSEN

Beautiful.

I love your big muscle show.

Awesome...best one yet and all episodes rock

Great video.. I'm from Northern California originally.. This "55" Buick takes me back to when I was a kid in Sonoma County, riding in my dads "55" Chevy Station Wagon or my grandpa's "1950" Dodge Coronet.. Thanks... What a totally bitchen Buick... Cant wait to get my "63" Pontiac Catilina restored....
