Yeah, my first search term for info on the car was "Buick Eight." First I'd heard of the book.
It appears this is a '53, as that was the year Buick switched from the Fireball Straight 8 to the Nailhead V8. The body style changed quite a bit for 54.
After I left the property I went back to the winery I'd dropped my friend at up the road and found out the car had belonged to the winery owner's uncle and she had ridden in it many times. When the uncle died, the idiot cousins inherited everything and let it rot.
