Here is a conversion of a Western 1959 Buick kit to a 4 door Flat top. Also, included photos of other cars for added interest.

Beautiful and wonderfully extravagant Buick automobiles in model form !

GM flat tops are under-represented in all scales - nice to see a few here! 😎
As I've noted before, they're a bit goofy looking, IMO, but when you drive one it's like being in a convertible; visibility is outstanding. Long before LKA, back-up cameras, side-view detection, and auto-braking.... "visibility" was a selling feature.
I would assume that's precisely how many were sold... "Please, sir, have a seat and look around.... take it for a spin."

I have the Western model of the Buick Flat Top and I love it. Your Lavender paint is fantastic.

Not my fave body style but the colors shown really enhance the look.
