As the title states, any info is welcome. I can't really explain it, but this car just pulls down my pants and tugs at me. https://www.volocars.com/auto-sales/vehicles/18134/1955-buick-century
I did some research and the "Standard Catalog of Buick 1903-2004" says this about the brand new model year 1936 Century: I also found this on a website:
...I get your attraction. For me it's a '54 Skylark, black with red interior and wheel wells, and KH wheels. Saw it being traded at dealership where I worked, and I can still see it...
Less the wheels, I had the same car in Black. I'm still beating myself up for selling it. In addition to looking great and being extremely comfortable, it was a really nice car to drive.
I would bet that 90% of the 1953 Buick Skylarks that I have ever seen were that shade of Blue. When I was a kid I grew up in the same city where the bandleader and singer Vaughn Monroe lived. I even delivered the Sunday newspaper to his home. His daughter (Chrissy or Christie, I'm not sure which was her name) drove a Skylark exactly like the one above. I'll bet daddy gave it to her when he bought his '57 Cadillac Eldorado convertible. Vaughn was definitely a car guy, he also had an airplane.
