By July 7th of 1957, Buick had produced its nine-millionth car, something it began in 1903. For 1957, the Buick models became lower and wider and included extra flair with the help of chrome and boldly styled fins. The fuel door could be found in the rear bumper and the bumper ends had either a single or dual exhausts.
All of the closed models, with the exception of the wagon, were upholstered in nylon and Cordaveen materials. The interior featured a standard Red Liner speedometer, dual horns, a trip mileage indicator, dual sun visors, turn signals, a glove box lamp, and a color-coordinated dash panel.
This particular Two-Door Hardtop Coupe is a fully restored example that is finished in two-tone paintwork of red and white. Chrome and wide whitewalls compliment the paint scheme.
In 2008 this 1957 Buick Special Two-Door Hardtop was brought to RM Auctions' Vintage Motor Cars of Meadow Brook. It was estimated to sell for $30,000-$40,000 and offered without reserve. A high bid of $34,100 including buyer's premium was enough to secure new ownership. The lot was sold.By Daniel Vaughan | Sep 2008
