Buick, 1954 4 door Special. Back in the day, this was marketed as "The Beautiful Buy" and it took nearly 10 percent of the market. She had a new 264 cube V8 capable of 143 hp or 150 hp depending on transmission. The front suspension was refined. The front grill had the waterfall design and new bumper guards looked like bullets. I found this one at Glen Ray Radiators on 6th St. in northeast Wausau, Marathon.
The car had a new sweepline that took a "V" dip and continued aft rather than returning forward as in previous years. The Special outsold all other sister Buicks with a run of 190,8854 units.
