pilou ◊ 2007-02-19 10:45	It is very blurred indeed.Specials had three ventiports and Centurys four. This one could have 4 ventiports , because the three ventiports of the Special series were more distant one from the other.Both Specials and Centurys had a rear fender identification badge , so this is not a distinction feature.I'd go for a Buick Century 4 door ( pillared) sedan of 1955 ( Model 61)

philr ◊ 2007-08-02 17:12	I see 3 portholes, looks like a Special
58Roadmaster ◊ 2007-11-01 04:45	agreed, Special 4d (Tourback) sedan Model 41 Link to "oldcarbrochures.com" Century would have thin chrome plating on the windows and above the doors. The top of the front vent window trails off so the chrome appears to cover the top of the doors, but in the photo of the rear, it clearly does not.
