1953 Buick Super Sedan Equipment
In 1953, Buick introduced the Air Conditoner – it was more like a fridge in the trunk. But the result was ice cold air in the passenger compartment. Another new options for this year was Power Brakes and a 12 Volt Electrical System. The 1953 Buick Super Sedan was almost a modern car.

1953 Buick Prices
The car hobby is expensive. Before you buy (or sell) a 1953 Buick Super Sedan you need to inform yourself about the right price. Although – there is no right price, everything depends on different parameters, for example condition, location, being the car original or not. A classic car valuation platform can only give a first orientation.
Can anyone assist please.
