PIC - Here's one I'd like to see in 1:43
BOS makes this '53 Buick Special in 1:18th scale. I wonder if they will bring it out as a 1:43?

So do I! Especially since it's the Buick of the yeat I was born.
Can't understand that no 1951/1953 Buicks other than the Skylark or Woody wagons have been made, giving preference to
Roadmaster Sedans, hardtops and convertibles. This is a missing link

I have it in 1/18 and I can tell you it's a beauty. Yes, it would be great in 1/43 too!

Here's the closest I can find. (PIC) By my count, it's a Roadmaster.

One of the Tin Tin cars, and I don't have it.

Looks to me like a 1949 Roadmaster, which I have by TSM, and
I have also a rare 1950 Roadmaster convertible that Gregory Gunn has made for me. Wish some one would make 1951 to 1953
Buick Roadmaster sedans, hardtops and convertibles, which, I think, are really missing!

Buick really went after the "low priced three" in 1953 with this car.
Why not step up to a Buick? Sales were very good, even though the Special model was the only car in Buick's lineup that kept the old in-line 8 engine.

I have some Tin Tin items but not this one as it is really not accurate. It looks like a two door notchback sedan which Buick never made. All the two doors were fastbacks I believe. Four doors were notchbacks. Such as this custom one I did from a Motor Max.
