1954 Buick Special Estate Wagon Colors
Like other 1954 Buicks, Estate Wagons were only available in limited exterior colors at the beginning of 1954. Later the year, Buick opened the color policy and more paints became available. Two-Tone paint was 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.
