1955 Buick Special Sedan Equipment
The 1955 Buick Special Sedan was probably the Buick with the most use for little money. Four doors, a V8 engine and a long options list to pick high end features from.
See 1955 Buick Options & Accessories for a full list with original prices.
1955 Buick Special Sedan Colors
Buick offered 20 base colors for 1955. They could be used as solid colors, two-tone paint or even three-tone color combinations. Two-tone paint meant the roof to be painted differently; three-tone paint was only available in certain colors.
Note: Color accuracy varies by computer/device settings and depends on the actual light. See complete 1955 Buick color chart for Duco Paint numbers and three-tone color combinations.

1955 Buick Videos
The Buick Berle helped Buick to increase their sales position to #3 in the United States. That made 1955 one of the most popular year in its history.
To train Buick dealers and salesmen, the Dealer Training Organisation (DOT) released 16 issues – most of them about mechanical or sales procedures. Only the first video was created for playing in the showroom. It introduced the new model line and new features in full color – lots of beautiful images and what a great story – the “Thrill of the Year”!
