Buick 1950 - 1954 custom and mild custom galerie

One of a kind custom show car, has won 45 trophies, best being in top 10 out of over 2,000 entries  (not shown last 2 years, tired of car shows reason for selling) 450 engine with 3/4-cam-hydromatic transmision-A/c partialy installed (have all needed parts) -Camero front under carriage with disc brakes-Dodge positraction rear-neon under lighting- White leather interior-top chopped 7"-stereo-electric
windows-Carson roof-top chopped 7"-air-ride suspension.

This car was built before the era of "Billet" cars. The project started with a very straight and rust free Southern car-last year for the split Buick hood which can be opened on either side. .



A Late 70's era GM front end and rear sections were subframed to the 1951 Buick frame in a very professional manner. Same 70's era 350 V-8 and Turbo 350 Transmission -along With a 10 Bolt Rear make up the driveline with drum brakes on all 4 corners. Power Steering, Power Brake Booster and A/C components of the same era were adapted to the car along with a period correct Sears Department Store Under Dash A/C system. We believe the car has it's original inner and outer rockers.


There are a couple of small floor patches and patch in trunk area to accomodate the rear subframe. We noted some very minor pin holes in the inner rockers. No frame rot evident and this car appears to have never been undercoated . Surviving family members indicate the car came out of Georgia. The Steering Wheel , tilt Column and Seats appear to be out of a vintage Chevrolet. I'd estimate this car was built sometime in the late 70's thru mid 80's. The deceased owner acquired it around 1999.


We noted a 1976 date code on some of the Power Steering components. The body has a ton of nice custom work including recessed/frenched tail lights, license plate area, headlights, dummy lake pipes, spot lights. and antennae. Car appears to have been painted in single stage enamel with no paint bubbles, crazing or lifting. All polished stainless trim and chrome are in very nice condition. There is one small ding in the bottom rear windshield waist rail. Car still has vacumn wipers which work. The Cragar Mag Wheels on the front do rub slightly on the inner front fenders when the wheel is totally extended in a turn.



Car may of run narrower wheels at one time- we are checking in the garage to see if they may be in storage, We had the opportunity to have the car driven 25 miles to our warehouse. The gauges show good oil pressure and the car never ran over 195 degrees on the trip. The bias ply tires are clean with plenty of tread-but I'd suggest replacing with modern radials. Car features traditional "Tuck and Roll" white vinyl throughout the car with a matching headliner. Drivers side arm rest could easily benefit from being resprayed with white vinyl dye.. This car is fitted with flamehrowers which feature sparkplugs fitted to brazed holders in the exhaust systems.

A part le roll pan avant j'ai toujours trouvé que c'etait une caisse hyper élégante et la cloner etait une trés bonne idée, mais Walker aurait apparement du s'adresser a un autre atelier pour les modifs hors top chop j'ai suivi le lien, et ....c'est effrayant ame sensible s'abstenir

je ne me lasse pas de la regarder ...et je ne m'en lasserais jamais !

Je suis plus reservé sur l'interieur :  :siffle:

Pareil pour la dernière, comme souvent les lead sled e cette période manque d'authenticité au niveau de l'intérieur

Le gars m'as fait rever ! toute la meca proviens de caisses des années 70? une seule conclusion: Cette Buick a été customisée dans les années 70-80 ! C'est pas comme si ces méca avaient été disponible aussi dans les années 90 et jusqu'a nos jours ! Moi j'ai dans mon garage une 403 avec une meca de '94 j'en tire comme conclusion qu'elle a du etre construite au milieux des années 90 ! a merde, non ! juste 20 ans plus tard !

En effet c'est un peu hâtif comme conclusion
Par contre je l'aime beaucoup celle ci, même si c'est pas la folie en customisation.
