It looks like it's missing the chrome trim on the bottom of the window sill which would rule out the 1954. Production figures for the 1955 Super 4-Door Sedan was 43280 and for the 1955 Roadmaster 4-Door Sedan was 31717, not that big difference to rule out one or the other I'd guess? Maybe it can be ruled out by sales figures from the UK? 1954 Buick Roadmaster 4-Door Riviera Sedan model 72R 1954 Buick Super 4-Door Riviera Sedan model 52 1955 Buick Roadmaster 4-Door Sedan model 72 1955 Buick Super 4-Door Sedan model 52

My guess is everything was available through special order via Lendrum & Hartman in London, with Glass's listing additional dealers in Manchester, Leeds, Birmingham and Glasgow. Does the idea that UK cars were probably CDN production narrow it down??
