    I have this 1956 Buick project and was just wondering what anyone would do it if was theirs. I see candy gold paint with seaweed flames for the exterior and interior doors. White tuck 'n' roll seats with a full lenght console and maybe '66 tBird back seat... What would you do with her? I am not sure about the roof. I think I like it better as a roadster.

    55' interior? Did a double take. I vote roadster too.
     
  6. I say removable hardtop! It's not my $$!! If you do white inside, try some piping in one of the exterior colors on the seats and panels, and maybe tie that color in on the dash too.

    When I got the car it didn't have a dash in it. The '55 was leftove from a model A project. I think i am leaning towards roadster too. Maybe a tonneau for the back seat area...

    I vote keep the top and add seaweed flames.
