Is it based upon a Buick '55?

No, it's earlier than '55 and although it might have some minor Buick bits (these bitsas always used parts from various cars) it's not Buick-based.

was it 1953?

Indeed it was.
The car was said to have been inspired by the 1951 Chevrolet and was powered by a Ford Flathead V8.
