The 1956 Buick Special, the last hurrah before the LeSabre took over the entry-level throne in 1958, is a beast with a heart of 322 cubic inches of V8 might, roaring with 250 HP. Like a fashion statement from the ’50s, it sports three vent ports per fender, making you the talk of the town—or at least the block. Thanks to Gateway Classic Cars, you can feast your eyes on this classic icon without having to polish its chrome yourself.
The Buick Special is the full sized entry level offering from 1936 until the end of 1958, when its replaced by the LeSabre. This 1956 version is powered by a 322 cu in (5.3 L) V8 engine putting out 250 HP. The three vent ports located along the side of each fender, to the front of the doors show that this is a Special, with the more uptown models sporting four per side.]
