Bad-Ass Buick: 1955 Special – /BIG MUSCLE

In stock form, the 1955 Buick Special could best be described as a “nice” car. It’s not drop dead gorgeous like a 1959 Impala, nor does it have the panache of say a 1956 Chrysler 300. You see the ’55 Buick Special was a working mans car. It had room enough for the whole family, a decent power-plant thanks to its 264 cubic inch V8, and style that was, well… above average. Harry Fisher or “Uncle Harry” as most people know him, saw the old Buick a bit differently though. He knew that with a few little touches (like a 502 cubic inch big-block, modern suspension, and a new set of wheels) that this old Buick had the potential to become one of the baddest hot-rods around. by /DRIVE
