It would be a Super or Century if it had four portholes. Though I still think that b-pillar looks much too large to be a Riviera model. -- Last edit: 2012-05-06 03:12:31
philr ◊ 2012-05-06 06:17	it's a '55 Super Riviera. It has vertical windshield posts while the smaller series have slanted windshield posts. Can't see the belt line much but the back glass is also from a full size Buick. The chrome window frames on these hardtops often look as large as a center post on these cars when the windows are up... They often look even larger with the sun glare.
