I am selling my 1954 Buick Century Sedan with Original 322 Nailhead V8. You can see it on classiccar.com here http://www.classiccar.com/index.php?option=com_ezautos&Itemid=12&task=detail&id=50 but it is easier to read on eBay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170394269943
It is a wonderful car, but I have to make room for my Hudson.
If anyone knows how to get my car listed right on classiccar.com please let me know.

1954 Buick Century 4 door Sedan with Original 322 Cubic Inch 200 Horse Power Nailhead V8 and 83K miles (the odometer says 83K and the previous owner believed it was correct)
The Century has never been restored, just maintained to keep it in good working order. If you are looking for a Century in good original condition that runs and drives great, this is the car for you. The 54 Buick Century has one of the most gorgeous front ends ever produced, and this one is a fine example. It sounds great, is very solid and rust free, and has a very clean original interior. The car's title is clean and has no liens against it.
I purchased this car less than a year ago thinking it was going to be my family’s classic for many years to come and invested in it with this in mind. I did everything I could to make it safe and reliable for my whole family. The body and frame is rust free except for two nickel sized holes in the trunk where it looks like water dripped in due to worn weather-stripping. The floors are solid and were painted with enamel before the heat shield /sound deadener and new carpet was installed. The rockers are rust free. The car starts and runs great. While on the highway it easily goes 70 and has more to give when you hit the gas. The paint is not original but is an older paint job that still has plenty of shine but has some chips from being a driver. All chrome and stainless steel is in place. The chrome is in good driver condition and the stainless steel is also in good shape. The engine is the original 322 V8 Nailhead with oil bath air filter and 4 barrel carburetor. The car has 5 new radial tires on newly sandblasted and painted rims. The glass is in perfect condition except for the rear wing windows (flat glass). One is cracked but functional and the other is fogging. All windows roll up and down easily. All of the gauges work. The interior is in original condition except for the carpet which is new. The interior shows wear but is in overall good condition. The brakes are in very good condition, only a few years old. The car shifts beautifully. The exhaust is newer and in good condition. The car comes with 5 extra hubcaps, spark plug covers for the engine, shop manual, matched pair of door locks, other period literature, and a few other miscellaneous parts. A heater knob and the windshield washer reservoir are missing.
