58Roadmaster ◊ 2009-12-18 06:45	Special Riviera [46R]. First one is correct. 1954 was the first year for both the Super and the Century series cars to feature four portholes. (Century was reintroduced in USA in 1954.)

(Century was reintroduced in USA in 1954.) Not exactly! In 1954, only the Roadmaster had 4 portholes. So this could be a Special or a Century. 1955-57 were the years when all series but the Special had 4 portholes.
