(PICS) My all-time favorite '50s era Buick...
the '57 Buick is my favorite year, and the Caballero was my favorite body style. Years ago, I'd bought the NEO blue/cream version first and liked the red/black version so much I later bought it as well. The only modification that I found necessary for both of the models was adding a ring of plated wire to the outer edge of the wheels to make the optional 'Skylark' wheels look deeper and more accurate.

The wheel modification looks great Clifford. This wagon along with the 53 Skylark are my two favorite 50s Buicks.

Great wheels. I just cant imagine how to make perfectly round rings out of wire.
