    I found this 53 buick in an abandoned salvage yard. All thats left are some trim mldgs and the staight 8 engine, it's really rusting into the ground. I need help identifying what it is so here's the information.

    1953 mod. 53-45R
    STYLE NO 53-4337
    BODYNO G 5510
    TRIM NO 42 K
    PAINT NO 70 BD
    TOP ACC
    AND THERE IS A P IN THE LOWER RIGHT CORNER.

    The VIN is 16902445
    Thanks

    Its a 53 Special, only the Special had a Straight 8 in 53.
    The 45R is a 4 door Special sedan (Riviera), 46R would be a 2 door hdtp.
