    I did some trading with a buddy and got this nice 55 Buick Century 4 dr hardtop.It has the 322 still in it and runs great but the dynaflow need rebuilt.The paint is not as nice as it looks in the pics but a buff will help.

    That year is one of the cleanest designs Buick ever came out with. That one looks really good. Have fun with it.

    Just a quick update,I tore into the Dynaflow this weekend and found alot of hard part damage the front pump was trashed,one of the thrust washers was beat to death and the rear ring gear for the rear planet was worn.I found most of the parts at a buddies storage unit.The clutches and bands were like new.If anyone knows of a good place to find hard parts let me know.

    Nice Buick.
    On my bucket list, my Grandpa had one when I was a kid. I remember the cool engine turned dash on the Century.
