1957 BUICK CENTURY CABALLERO ESTATE WAGON
BUICK DIVISION – GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION – DETROIT, MICHIGAN
TV Westerns—Gunsmoke, Tales of Wells Fargo, Wagon Train and Station Wagons such as this 1957 Buick Estate Wagon were staples of typical 1950s family life. Buick actually offered three levels of their Estate Wagon that year: the Special Series, the Riviera and the top of the line, Century Caballero (Spanish for “Horseman”) Estate Wagons.
General Motors’ most expensive station wagon for 1957, the Caballero, is especially noteworthy for its full 4-door hardtop pillarless construction.
