You see it – in those lines of the 1954 Buick that nestle lower to the roadway, that thrust further forward and aft, that rival those of an arrow in their functional fitness.

You sense it – in the vastly broadened vision of its panoramic windshield, in such interior innovations as its airplane-type controls, linear speedometer, and high-air intake ventilation.

But most of all, you feel it – in the surge of new­found power that takes it from your toe when you want to go in a way that exceeds even the engineers’ early expectations. “Sensational,” you’ll say and without exaggeration, when you sample the step-up in power you get from that great V8 that’s in every 1954 Buick.

You’ve had hints before that Buick was setting patterns for the future – in its development of Twin-Turbine Dynaflow Drive, the Million Dollar Hide, the world’s first vertical-valve V8. You know Buick has done it now in everything ­ in style, in ride, in comfort, in performance. See these provocative new 1954 Buicks models. Drive them. You’ll agree, “tomorrow is here.”

Two plates attached to each 1954 Buick can tell you where it was built and how well it was equipped. With this data you can restore it back to factory specs easily.

Over 60 interior trim combinations were available for buyers of a 1954 Buick. Hometown Buick has digitalized them to show you the original seat and bolster materials.
