Here is a 1951 Buick Special 2-door hard top that caught my eye due to the fact that I've seen very few of them completely painted that color.

As with most of the late '40's and mid-late 50 GM cars, many of them were nicely rounded with a pleasing roofline. However, like the many of the 40's GM offerings, most had a large Proboscis (thanks Tony P.). I like the general shape of this car and did some edits just to see what they looked like. 

As found:

Lowered with a lower cowl, deeper windshield, pancaked hood (shaved), and a tailpipe change:

Tucked in bumpers, parking lamp canisters, lowered trunk lid profile, altered side trim and mild dechroming:

With a very light top chop:

And a mild section just below the beltline:

As a concession to Buick lovers who can't live without the portholes:

With a tire/wheel cover change:

Frenched head and tail lights, shaved side trim and door handles:

The 'As found' photo includes a tailpipe change in that I can't abide exhaust deflectors!! The balance of the edits deal with the too-high hood and trunk and with simplifying the car's presentation via a series of edits. Again, just wish to see what they look like with changes.

Comments are welcome.

Enjoy!
