You can't use lowering blocks on a 55 buick, it has independent suspension. You can cut the springs, or get dropped spindles, the latter is probably the better solution, but spring cutting is really cheap.

Butch's Rod Shop has what your looking for. Its a kit that lowers the front coil spring lower A arm cup 2 inches. As simple as drilling out the original rivits and bolting in the spacers. Drops it 2 inches for about $60. They list it for 54/56 Bufords. I put one in a 55 Ford. Easy, dropped it 2 inches, and retained the original ride.
