This 1953 Buick Special 2-Door Riviera is a partially restored classic that blends originality with thoughtful updates.

It features fresh paint, new upholstery, a new windshield, tires (KUMHO p225/75 R15 SOLUS KR21), and brakes.
Power comes from a rebuilt 1948 Buick Straight-8 engine, with the original numbers-matching motor included for rebuild. Both bumpers have been sandblasted and re-chromed, and the interior floor has been professionally replaced with new metal.

While most of the chrome shines bright, some dash trim pieces show bubbling and may need replacement.
The car runs and drives well but hasn’t been on the road in about six months, making it a solid candidate for light finishing or weekend cruising. Onlookers and passers by will not notice any flaws, however, could find some upon closer inspection.
