@jack-dodds  Thank you for identifying the colors for me, Mister Dodds, and that '57 Caballero wagon is one of my favorites.  I would like to find a 1:24 or 1:18 model of that one.

"I would like to find a 1:24 or 1:18 model of that one."

Some of the first 1/18 BOS resin models produced included '57 Buick wagons and they sold for "peanuts."     Today, however, sellers are asking much more..... but they are available.

@chris   For that kind of money, I'm far more likely to buy this one, at 1.200,00€:

@gdh I have models of the Caballero in 1/64, 1/43 and 1/18 scales. One of the best looking wagons ever IMO.

@bob-jackman BOS's 1/18 proportions were spot on, my only gripe was the wider-than-should-be  wheel track, but it's an EZ-peazy fix just by shortening the axles - which a few collectors did.

I'm not a fan of those wire wheels either, but they were well rendered.      I must say, I don't think I've ever seen a 1:1 Caballero wagon - they must be huge!   😎 😎 😎

@bob-jackman It is one of the few USA 4-door estates I like, though there are exceptions.  Mostly, I prefer the two-door models.

@gdh I like all station Wagons especially the two and four door hardtops.
