"I'm so tempted....."

I wonder how it stacks up against the BOS version....  🤔 🤔 

BOS

@chris It will have to be excellent to top the BOS version IMO. From the pictures, the wheels don't look correct and the model is listed as a Special but has four holes on the front fenders. I'm assuming the pictures are of prototypes.

It sure looks like a real car from that photo. Love the color combo. 🤑

I love that Buick !!  Just stand back and look at what a beautiful design you see… This, IMO, is what’s missing today. I do like some Genesis designs though.

@100ford2003 I have (12) model sized Genesis and (2) full sized so I to am feeling their design language 🤣

Then you, I assume, like Cadillac too; many Genesis themes are "Cadillac based."    That's no accident.    😉 😉

@chris It becomes a matter of which comes first the chicken or the egg. Your pictures are graphic proof of the similarities.

@100ford2003 HA!  Yesterday afternoon, I had a '56 Buick 2-dr hardtop (similar to this one ) zip by me, going in the opposite direction, on a two-lane highway.     Yes indeed, mid-late 1950 Buicks were (are ) smartly styled!    😉 😉

I love these mid fifties Buicks too. The colors on this 55 are period perfect.

I love me some mid / late ‘50s Buicks. I like this color combo in these pics too.

@chris 

Yes, that would be a very sharp looking model.
