I have one like it, only a '53 Roadmaster 4-DR with A/C. 139,400 orig. miles and still going. Sat in a field in NY state for 35 years before I restored it. What are the red lights on stalks at each end of the rear bumper -- some European add-on? Nice car -- soon only EU citizens will be able to afford.

Beautiful Buick. It's interesting that this car is in Italy. Most people think that cars like this from the 1950's are uniquely and difinitively American. In truth, American carmakers of the 50's like Ford, Nash, Chrysler, and GM collaborated with stylists from Ghia, Pinin Farina, and others in Italy to design and build concept cars that had a big styling influence on production cars. The egg crate grille of the famous 55 Chevy was just a rip off of Ferrari. Still, American cars were COOL MAN!

@TheCanine2 its funny how the '55 egg crate grille just happened to be the least stylish grille of the 50s! ;)

The '55 Chevy basically had a sports car style grill, so it wasn't very elaborate. I personally thought they really improved the looks with '56 model. Now this '53 Buick, on the other hand, now THAT'S a grill!

Beautiful looking car! I love American cars, particularly those of this vintage. I love the sound of the engine, particularly at idle. It looks almost out of place next to more modern cars.

Got that familiar throaty Buick nailhead V-8 rumble (sounds just like my dad's 1965 Electra ragtop, which had a 401-cube version of the same engine). This one would have had a two-barrel 322 which cranked out 170 horses...great performance for 1953, 12-13 seconds 0-60 and a true 100+ mph top end. Buick used the same basic engine through 1966, eventually bored and stroked to get 325 horses, 445 pounds of torque and 120+ mph out of it in the Wildcats and Electras of the 60s.
