Something about this 55

[MrEarl]

MrEarl likes, Just can't put my finger on exactly what it is. Nicely done custom job. If you ask me though, lot of unnecessary  work went into making Nailhead style rocker covers to cover the Chevy ones.

I saw this Buick in Louisville, it is a very well build piece.

 

I like the sweep spear going thru the port holes, I personally would prefer the hood NOT being completely shaved, looks a tad bare, IMO.

 

High end dollar car, FOR SURE.

 

Lot to like about it though, again IMO.

if not for the engine, would be my dream car for sure

Ha, I love the "WhataBuick/WhataBurger" emblem on the deck lid. That's awesome! Lovely car, my only real nit-picky complaint is the lack of a rear bench seat for, you know, nocturnal activities.

The interior is beautifully done, love it and the color of it with the black!!  The crate engine ruins the build in my mind - it shows lack of imagination, the easy way out or the expected way.  I would change the wheels asap. Oh, and while I am sure they were going for a cleaner look, the Mae West's missing on the front make the front generic.

 Well, at least the engine is not a 350 small block. Perhaps he could not find a BUICK engine?

To bad they didn't put a nailhead back in it. Solid workmanship otherwise.
