The '57 is my favorite Buick style-I have added several of them to my collection.
These 2 are from Conquest Models and both joined my collection in a sad state. It took a bit of cleaning and reassembly, some replacement parts and here we are... They both turned out pretty well.

Have the blue/white one. Can't say that I ever saw the white one. I have several Conquest 57 Buicks and love all of them.

Nice sedans. I was not aware that you can get replacements parts for these models; is that through Route 66?

John, thanks for the nice photos. I agree; the 1957 Buick is a great looking car. Here is my Conquest in 2 tone blue.

Those two tone blue models are really beautiful.
