1952 Buick Special Sport Coupe Colors
Buick almost doubled the amount of available colors from 1951 to 1952. Beautiful colors like Apache Red (also designed for the Optional Wheel Color), Sequoia Cream and lots of Roadmaster only Colors were introduced. Two-Tone paint was again at extra cost. In this case, only the roof could be painted differently. Note: Color accuracy varies by computer/device settings and depends on the actual light.
