Quote from Original Literature

1956 Buick Sales Flyer
The sports-car snap of the swift-lined 1956 Buick Super Convertible (Model 56C) is highlighted by rich, all-cordaveen interiors. And convenience is the keynote with windows and the horizontal seat adjustment electrically controlled. In all Supers you find foam rubber seat cushions, automatic trunk light, electric clock and new sealed beam headlights, at no extra cost.
