Buick's 1957 Chassis Service Manual covers chassis service for every 1957 Buick: the Special (Series 40), Super (Series 50), Century (Series 60) and Roadmaster (Series 70), all powered by the 364 cu. in. Fireball V-8. It is organized in numbered groups divided into lettered sections and numbered paragraphs, from Lubricare and engine through fuel systems, Synchromesh and Dynaflow transmissions, rear axle, suspension, steering, brakes, electrical systems and frame and sheet metal, with an alphabetical index at the back. Group 11 (radio, heater and air conditioner) is missing from this copy. Body service is covered by the companion 1957 Buick Body Service Manual.
