I don't understand the blue one. Is that Starfire trim?

These were pretty rare in the Chicagoland area so I am not sure of the end treatment to the side trim on that blue car. I'll try to google olds wagons but so can you. If I find one I'll let you know. It just does not look right to me. And I sold Oldsmobiles. Even so the factory brochures were not perfect either. Other wise the cars are very good.

My brother had a similar wagon, and I remember those cumbersome rear wheel "panties." First 1:1 picture I checked showed:

About the only thing I remember was how big it was! No thanks.

Nice car but don't like the fender skirts at all and is the Stafire trim correct? Also noticed that a few of the up coming models have white roofs which I'll pass on.

LOL....I think the white roofs really add contrast. There ya go. 🙂

They do add contrast but I prefer one body color with color in the accent inserts and not roof panels.

The blue one was apparently called an Olds Starfire Fiesta wagon and although I am not even remotely an Oldsmobile expert, according to my quick online search it certainly did exist but I've seen suggestions online that it was a one-off creation, which (unfortunately for Sergio) would mean it is not a good choice as a model of a standard production car, even if it is very pretty.

I agree with that on some cars.....like the 61-2 Impala SS.

This is the same one I found; apparently it is a one of custom . A beauty!

The Starfire trim is not correct on a factory build.

I took these pics at a hot rod meet in Knoxville in 2014.

While it COULD be the same car, my second photo shows Tennessee plates. Other posts above show Ontario.

I'll bet it's the same dream car from one guy mind and the plate change is because it changed hands. Buz has also made models of a couple cars that never existed in styling exercises or production. They were made after some guys creation to his liking.
