I learned to drive in my folks 1955 Buick Century. 4 door sedan, dynaflow transmission, Same heavy body as the
Roadmaster, less the bells and whistles. ie: No Power steering, No power brakes. Plain jane AM Radio. Forget the engine, but that shiftless bastard would run like stink. And the 1950s Dragnet w/Ben Alexander beat Highway Patrol like Rocky Marciano would a club fighter.
Yep 56 Buick
It would hide the numbers on the speedometer any time.
Brakes sucked big time though.
Many thought it was a bit heavy, but in a drag race with a 56 Chevy power pac, it would leave the Chevy in the dust, and on the run the Chevy didn’t have a chance.
