1955 Buick Options (Optional Equipment)
The year 1955 was more like optimizing the1954 Buick models. The list of 1955 Buick Optional Equipment had nothing really new on it. The list was improved so well in 1954 that 1955 was the most successful year of the decade for Buick sales! Over 700,000 cars rolled out of the assembly lines. If you want to find out how your 55 Buick was equipped, get the info from the body tag and compare it with this list!
The prices given here are the official Buick list prices. Some local dealerships made their own prices back in the 1950s. That means, if you find a piece of literature with different numbers, both can be correct. 🙂
