Recommended Posts

We've seen everyone's '59 Mopars & full sized Oldsmobiles, now I'd like to see what everyone has for Full sized Buicks!

Another group of cars that are way under represented in the kit world today.

What have you got guys?

I'll start the show with my '58 Roadmaster & a '59 & '60 Invicta.

I'll play... Here are a few Buicks that I've done...

'55 Buick - made using a Maisto diecast "Highway Patrol" car.

'59 Buick - made from an old gluebomb.

and last is a diecast '53 Buick... it is supposedly 1/24 scale but it seems a lot larger to me.

This '69 was a true cold blooded wreck when I got it, but after a lot of work...

I have to bring these back to life...

One of these '65's may get turned into a convertible.

The '60 is a piece of art Ron!

I always hated the looks of the '60 Buick, but after building one, I really gained an appreciation for them.

Steve

Here you go, I realize there aren't any mirrors. It was built as box art car.

& it's a beautiful one Jon!!

Steven, thanks a lot. Yeah I love playing along with these "Show me" threads...... as long as I've got something to show.

Frank, no it must be the lighting... and the yellow color on the '58... that is regular chrome BMF...... and a LOT of it :lol: .

Looks like a really nice one Bill!

I noticed a long time ago that the '59s were more available & usually less expensive than the '58 or '60.

Guess it's because it was re-released a couple of times.
