I just wanted to let you guys know I bought them from Cars Inc. I thought they were more of a dark brown, however theyre almost red when you get them. I bet they are the same as the chevy ones. Were...

I have a 55 Special and I was debating too. Im not a fan of the dog dish caps, not saying theyre ugly just not my style. Have you looked at 1963 Invicta hubcaps, or the 1961 Invicta Caps they look...

I have a 55 Special and the windshield was changed back in the early 70s after a pheasant flew into it. The previous owner never put the trim back on. I buffed it all out and went to reinstall it,...

That's definitely a let down. I keep finding Roadmaster doors, I was hoping they didn't have to change the size of the doors to accommodate the increased wheel base..

Im not sure where to post this, but Im trying to track down a better door than mine. I have a 55 Special Riviera 2 door, would the door from a Roadmaster convertible or a regular Roadmaster fit?

I took the back part apart and it definitely has been messed with. the clock spring that makes the pointer shaft return to zero is broken and then someone tried to re wind it and now it looks like...

I have a 55 special, I never had the keys to the doors and neither did the previous owner, but the key I had opened the trunk and turned the ignition lock. I kept it on a vintage key chain. Tonight I...

Before I waste $200 at the junk yard do I need Roadmaster backing plates to handle the 2 1/2 inch shoes? The brake area in my drum measures 2 3/4 so it should handle 2 1/2.

I have a 55 Buick and I am in the Process of upgrading the brakes. I am trying to find Roadmaster backing plates. Does anyone know what years will fit my fatory spindle? Im hoping someone has a...

From everything I've read the only difference in the drum itself is just the fin count. I'm guessing they're 69 because the last year is 70, and the last couple years they increased the fin count.

Thats great Tom thank you!! I think I actually got the idea from you originally. DO you remember what was involved in actually fitting the drums onto the car? DO I reuse the hubs that were on the 69...

I have a 55 Buick Special with Treadle Vac that needs the brake system worked on and upgraded. The car was absolutely terrifying to drive, I posted a few times and most guys recommended going with...

I am looking for the width and backspacing of the 15 inch buick rally wheels. I'm trying to get my steel wheels made wider and I know buick rallys fit my car.

Dont worry Brakes and tires are the next move. I already know what Im getting and have started ordering parts, and sent some factory rims out to get them widened so I can get a better contact patch....

I think the site isnt that accurate it says a Roadmaster will go 0-60 in 10.7 seconds but a Special will do it in 10.1.... But either way Id say my car is on par with that it probably would do 0-60...
