1955 Buick Special 2-door Riviera Hardtop
I n 1955 and 1956, the hot-sellling Buick division briefly joined Ford and Chevrolet as the third member of the Big Three.
In the glory years of the Motor City, the sales leaders of the industry—Chevrolet, Ford, and Plymouth—were known as the Big Three, and it was for good reason. Year in and year out, they typically towered over the other carmakers in volume, and very seldom were any of the three brands toppled from their perches. But in 1955, GM’s Buick division managed to pull it off, grabbing third place away from Plymouth.
