Great build, very eye-catching! I wish there were more of these old wagon kits.

I also like the "Dorothy" name, it fits the car's character. Did you pick the name or is that what the kit's called my the manufacturer?

Hi, thank you for the comments.

Why Dorothy I copy an existing model created by the workshop Oz'Customs located in California. As soon as I saw this car, I'm falling in love. I like station Wagon!

I use the same techniques of bodywork. Here are photos of the real

That is definitely one beautiful kustom wagon and your reproduction of it is spot on. Excellent work!

I am a HUGE fan of wagons (almost the only cars that get their pictures taken by me at car shows) and Buicks from late 40's to 70's. This makes me Very Happy Amazing build, Great topic and all around very well done. I tip my hat to you

[Tony T]

Great build! I love the styling on that wagon. Great lines. You did a wonderful job of reproducing it in scale.

The Packard taillights really look nice on the Buick. Nice touch.

Well-done overall.

Wow, that is gorgeous. To me, this is the true essence of a custom car. The changes are so subtle that it takes a while to realize something has actually been altered. I love the liftgate and the color combo. Those Packard tail lights are nice, too, though I always loved the stock lights and housings (each one carrying enough chrome, to paraphrase Tom McCahill, "to throw Sputnik off course".). Beautiful .

How i have missed this one. Simply beautiful

[Jon Cole]

Must agree, this is nice! If I saw it last year, I must have forgot. But then again, I can't remember... this morning.

[Danno]

Dittos. Don't know how I missed it before, but I'm glad I saw it now.

Sweeeeet!!
