1957 Buick Behemoth Build

[dhutton]

I’m getting pretty damn old so this is likely my final build. I love these hardtop wagons so I just had to build one. Nothing is available off the shelf for these cars. I’ve built four trifive Chevys including two Nomads but the effort and cost of this build is at a whole nother level…



I’ve come a long way since my first build of a 69 TA clone that I started almost 20 years ago. https://www.pro-touring.com/threads/...light=69+clone. Roughly 30 builds some of which were painted rollers. It’s hard to believe it’s winding down but let’s see how it goes after the wagon is done.

I found this car in the dry Arizona desert roughly six years ago. It’s a good thing I got it before the Covid price hikes hit. I had three more of these wagons squirreled away (one was an Oldsmobile Fiesta) and sold them off when I got this one.
