PICS: Here is that '53 Buick Skylark convertible posted a few days ago......
that is an exceptionally nice specimen, considering its color and setting. I love this body style but feel, as is my way, that it sits too high and is cluttered with too many bits hanging on (or off) it.
As found:
photo no longer available
Lowered and with few bits removed:
photo no longer available
Further dechromed:
photo no longer available
Sectioned with grill/bumper changes:
photo no longer available
I did a couple of interim exercises with less sectioning but did not include them. If you wish, I can add them.
Recognizing that most on this site are purists, do any of the other renditions appeal?
Enjoy!

Purist I am on this one but for a custom I like the first example best.
