Really nice Buick re-done here ! That's some excellent craftsmanship on a particularly good-looking convertible

Excellent conversion; nobody could imagine it came from the sedan.

That looks great. I wish Brooklin would do this. I can use a nice 1954 Buick in my series of Buick models.

Ken, that’s an incredible Buick convertible you have crested. Of particular note is how you modified the rear wheel openings and how you created a two door convertible from a four door sedan. Amazing, Ken.

Thanks for all the kind remarks. Here's another Buick conversion that I completed about a month ago. It is a Conquest 1955 Buick. Conversion was much simpler than the 1954 Brooklin. The roof was removed, a new convertible boot was made and the body was 2 toned. A photo of the hardtop before conversion is below.

Both conversions are very impressive Ken. It is nice to have unique models in the collection.
