History

Buick is one of the oldest automobile company in the world and the oldest in the United States. Buick built the first two automobiles in 1899 and 1900 at the "Buick Auto-Vim and Power Company". David Buick incorporated his company as the Buick Motor Company, May19, 1903 in Detroit MI. Buick provided all-new bodywork to the 1949 Specials, the first fully postwar design for these series. The 1954 Specials had an all-new body and chassis, much wider and lower. The manufacturer equipped them with the all-new, more powerful "Nailhead" V8 engines.

Introduced in the middle of the 1955 model year, the four-door Buick Special Riviera (along with the Oldsmobile 98 and 88 Holiday) were the first four-door pillarless hardtops ever produced. By then, the Buick Special was one of America's best selling automotive series.

They had three VentiPorts while more 'senior' Buicks had four.
