Ben Bruce aka First Born Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 I believe it is the correct hood with the '50 ventiports added. Not a '50 hood. Ben 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For one thing it is a sedan with a "B" pillar; maybe gentle rollover...junkyards stack cars 2 and 3 high without collapse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neil morse Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 That's a very sad one, for sure, since the car appears to have been in beautiful shape. What do suppose caused the damage?

Back up at 20 miles an hour, lose track of your surroundings even though your passenger is holding your beer, turn the wheel hard left and the front end zips around. Not only did he hit the pole, but his passenger dropped the beer and soaked the carpet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RivNut Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 That would be the 1954 Buick Wildcat. Are you sure this thread is where you want to post this? I think is a good looking car. The car in the foreground is the Olds F-88. In the background are the GM Futureliners. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it would fit in the thread " I just love this picture of this Buick " as you can hardly see it. So yes I think it belongs here. Cal.
