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.

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....

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.
