its not an origanal buick,when it has a corvette engine in it

[aforget]

Of course not. Read the feature article in November Rod & Custom to find out why. They have a web article, too.

Didn't those have a button on the floor to the drivers left to control the radio?

[aforget]

They say, "Buick's Selectronic Radio is an innovation in radio tuning and provides a simple method of station selection regardless of locality." Yes, they had a foot switch. My car had a Sonomatic - the cheaper Buick radio for 1955. Since the upgrades, I can now tune to YouTube.

You can't put a Corvette engine in a Buick and still call it a Buick. It just ain't right! It's an abomination! :)

[aforget]

Most people don't call it a Buick. The other day, some gal called it 'Frickin Sick'.

I guess that is good.

I have a a Buick 55 but the nailhead was completely rusted out (it had been sitting in a water puddle for 10 years) so mine has a chevy 305 in it because my friend had wrecked his corvette and gave me his motor for 50 bucks (from my iPod)

very nice

Hay man he is respecting the classics. This another classic car that is on the road and not in a dumb rotting away. I think the important thing here is to try and keep as many of these old cars on the roads. It breaks my heart to see rows of classic cars sitting in junk yards.

That is a very nice 55 special. The interior looks futuristic with the combo of 50's styling and modern features.

Stupid WMG ruined another you tube video.

wow look at all the haters on this site,its his car he can do what he wants with it,,if he fixes it up for himslef who cares,if hes fixing it up for re-sale then maybe i care..go cry somewhere else you fags ,just cuz you cant afford your own cars,dont shit on someone elses...doooshbags

[clydetwopointoh]

Well if you wanted a Corvette with some whiz-bang stereo and mood lighting then buy a Corvette. There's no need to ruin a damn fine 55 Buick with all that crap!!!!! RESPECT THE CLASSICS!!!!!!!

Looks like you had the same idea as me, is that a homemade custom radio or somthing store bought? I always thought it'd be cool to take a modern radio and fit it in to case of the old one.
