I have the Conquest 1950 Buick woody wagon, convertible and 2 door coupe, but a sedanette would wrap the group up tight.

Ben it would appear that your wish was granted by Buz which I'm quite sure you knew. I just ordered the green one.

I'm quite pleased with my Provence Moulage transkit '50 Buicks.   The four door standard sedanette is a modification and the wagon got its tailgate angle corrected.   Won't be acquiring any more '50 Buicks but sure would like some 1949-52 Plymouths which seem to have been totally ignored.

It would seem that either Santa (Buz) was listening or...

Anyway, this is a must have for me too-I ordered one in green as soon as I got the email early this afternoon.

John Q. I agree with you about the Plymouths. I would definitely be a buyer. Love your 1950 Buicks.

@john-quilter They seem to be the Solido models I had many years ago. I remember doing a lot of work to have them presentable back then.

They aren't listed on the website yet. Buz is giving his best customers first bids and a lower price. 

Just call him and put your order in at 708.246.1543

Only the convertible is a stock Solido.  All the others are Provence Moulage transkits for the Solido.   Solido did not get the top and C posts correct on their version of the Riviera hardtop so PM issued a transkit of of the coupe to correct those errors.  The one pictured is one of those.  But then, PM did not get the angle of the tail gate on the Estate Wagon correct in my opinion, so I corrected that in the building process.   PM should have done some more transkits for the 1950 Chevrolet other than the tin woody.   Guess I'll just have to make some up from the diecast item,  a sedan delivery,  club coupe, or Belair hardtop are possibilities.
