Restored 1957 Buick Estate Wagon, rebuilt 364 V8 engine, dynoflow 3-speed automatic transmission, power steering and power brakes. Car spent its life in california and is virtually rust-free. Both the driver’s side front floor pan and rear floor pan are new. This flat-roof surfer’s dream has no chips, dips, waves or caves. Mighty straight body. New paint, upholstery and carpet. Most chrome has been replated, too. The headliner is brushed aluminum. She weighs in at 2 1/2 tons and is as solid as the rock of gibraltar. Runs and drives as it should, which is like it ran off the showroom floor in ‘57 when gm styling was at an all-time high. When all the cars were different. Fins, grilles, bumpers, dashes...All works of art. Very dependable. Starts right up and doesn’t smoke or joke. Transmission also shifts smoothly and quietly. Both power steering and power brakes make this yesteryear gem easy to drive--even in today’s traffic. Somewhere in its 56 years, she acquired a salvage title. Two frame/suspension experts examined the underside and could find no evidence of it ever having been in a major crash that hurt the frame or suspension. Speculated that the car probably was stolen way back when they had very little value...And was branded salvage by insurance company. Engine and trans fluids recently changed. It is a very solid driver. One that gets eyeballed at every car show or just driving down the street. How many have you seen, especially in this condition? For so little money. Its big brother, the caballero hardtop wagon in show condition, is now fetching up to $100,000 at major auctions. No trades, please. For any questions on this car - telephone (714) 848-9255.
