    What a piece of art. I can see why they only made them a couple of years; the lines probably ate into the available trunk space, but I could stare at it all day. GM tried something similar with the 1978 Cutlass and Century, but that was less sculpted and more chopped; it also only lasted 2 model years.

    Daddy was a Buick man. So was grandpa. We had a 39, and got our 1950 baby blue four door used in 1951, grandpa got the 39. Then in 53, we got a 52 and the 50 was passed on to grandpa. In 56, we got a four door 55 Roadblaster and grandpa got the 52. After that dad had a succession of Lincoln Continentals, 58, 63 and the final one was a 1980.

    Very beautiful car, and terrific craftsmanship in its build! That being said, this is a highly modified car internally, I am sure. It no longer is powered by its original straight eight engine, and no longer has its dynaflow transmission. Most notably, to accomodate those changes the car most certainly no longer has its original torque tube, which would make the driving experience much more like a '60s Buick than a 1950. What suspension changes have been made I could not be sure, but without the torque tube, the rear end would have to be modified substantially, too. I appreciate that the aesthetics of the car are very nicely preserved, but if you are remembering your grandpas buick rumble, this is very different.

But, dad would let me drive around the neighborhood before school. Dynaflow trans, straight 8, fun, comfortable, 18 mpg on open road, It could have been a great car for dating. It had giant seats, front and back, lots power, great car.

    ..... This flick didn't show it, but the hood opens in three directions, which should be the norm, but was unique to these cars... It opened from the front and lifted up as a 'normal' car would do...then, it lifted from either side, left or right...so from standing at a fender the hood will lift up in a 'sideways fashion' ... Very cool feature to make access possible from any point .....
