StevenGuthmiller Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 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. Steve

Ron Hamilton Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 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.
gluebum Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 Here you go, I realize there aren't any mirrors. It was built as box art car.

SCI-FI Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 (edited) My Buicks. ... Holy guacamole. Is it poor form for a man to weep openly at such a well-done paint job? Edited June 11, 2015 by SCI-FI

BTW, beautiful work!

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!! Steve
StevenGuthmiller Posted June 11, 2015 Author Posted June 11, 2015 My only built Buick: Nice Helmut!! Very nice!! Steve

gtx6970 Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 I love the big cars of the past. This is the only Buick I have. Bought just as shown. Its in the to do pile,,,,,,but probably be a this winter project . I've been looking for a 58 and a 60,,,I just havent been able to get one in my budget range .
Ramfins59 Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 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 .

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. Steve
