Hey - it's got 3 VentiPorts per side ; must be a 6-cylinder! :rotflmao:

That color combo screams mid-'50s Americana to me... one of the reasons I love that combo on all kinds of '50s vehicles. Would be a nice car to restore and take to car shows.

Drew's friend loves these. I wonder if he already knows about it.

Whoa.

Drew's friend loves these. I wonder if he already knows about it.

He will in a moment.

His is a '57 Century, no power brakes, no a/c, no power steering

A/C in '57 Buicks only saw installation in 6% of production; I would not expect to see it.

I wonder if Buickman would like it.

I love that car, gorgeous.

Have always hated 'baby blue'-eque colors on cars, even tho they're completely 'period' here.
In fact; ALL the period primary pastels (yellows, greens, blues, pinks) are a turn off, IMO.

Leno's '55 has one of the nicest schemes for this 2-tone Buick era, black / silver/ black ~

I wish proper two-tone colors could make a comeback. I think only the F150 does it at the moment on the King Ranch, but it is subtle and only one secondary color is available.
