1957 Buick Estate Sled - Nailhead Family Hauler -

We love the style of this custom Buick wagon. The chopped 4-door pillar-less hardtop design gives the car a clean but not overdone profile, and the 3-tone paint gives adds sophistication. We also like the spoke wheels and period Coker wide whites. Find it here on eBay out of Bakersfield, California.



The rear fins and lamps are from a Packard, and are much cleaner than the huge factory chrome units. Get a load of the interior below! Fantastic! All new leather in the factory two-tone pattern with an all stock dash.



The engine is the factory 364-inch Buick Nailhead V8, which has been given a Edelbrock triple carburetor intake and custom headers. We love the period look and originality.


The wagon rides on airbags, which are not usually our favorite, but we’ll give a mulligan because the frame isn’t dragging on the pavement. We like drivers and not show queens, so cars can be too low in our book.



This wagon is one of the nicest rods we have seen in some time. Bring it up about an inch, pack your crew inside, and drive it over the Grapevine to SoCal where it belongs.
