Thread: 1954 Buick Wildcat II

Tweet

Hmmmmm. Maybe I should pull some styling cues from one of Harley Earl's finest???? One of my "across the alley" lawyer buddies brought me a picture of it, and it got me thinking......As some of you know, in my case that can be dangerous!!!!!!!!!

how about taking a '54 Corvette, and your '54 Roadmaster and make 1 car out of them... it really looks like the early vette has simmilaraties to that Wildcat II..

The Corvette part of the styling is what I don't like.... in '54 it was neat, but I think it should be updated, just no idea what....

Also, even though I don't like chebbies, if I got my hands on a '54 Vette I sure wouldn't use it as a parts car..... but I sure would sell it for some build bucks!!!!!!!!

and maybe a removable hardtop instead of an open car???????

I've always been in love with the roadsters of the 50's and recently compiled a gallery of them on my 'puter. I've determined that the '53/'54 Siata is my dreamboat and if I ever get a chance again to have a place where I can do it, I'll build a glass one from scratch.

Another one that tickles my fancy is this little piece of jewelry, a '53 Giaur (Pronounced Jower, rhymes with Tower). These were produced with tiny little 750cc dual overhead cam 4-bangers.

I know, '54 Corvettes are worth about $20k if there remotely kinda sorta restorable.. I think the '53-'55's are bland myself. I like the '57?-'60's the best, but the '61-'62's are nice too.

50s roadsters are my favorite.. I had to make my own because I couldn't afford one...

Do you have any build photos you can post. I'd like to see how you did it.

Both very neat little cars Richard, but the little red one is drop dead gorgeous!!!!! Never even have heard of either one... The red one though.....think I need one!!!!!

I was fiddlin' around with photoshop recently and put some headlights in it....
