    More vintage

    Adding another 59 Buick Electra. This one in the rare Lido color. All done up and ready to go.

    Nice 401 Nailhead engine. All power options including vent windows. Rare original A/C dash but late model A/C and heat set up which is nice

    Won't do bags on this just a 2" static lowering kit. That and some Supreme wheels that look great on these late 50's GM cars

    That is nice, reminds me of Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

    Beautiful. I'm sure that's a comfortable cruiser. May not handle quite as well as a Viper though.

    Thanks for the nice comments guys. This one’s not home yet but these boats definitely drive like on clouds. Fun to take for cruises in the mountains or just for town trips. Turns heads as people really like what they see. Older people remember growing up with them, young kids don’t think they are real. Some kind of real life matchbox cars. Maybe a transformer for all they know.

    I just really like all the design elements on the 50’s and early 60’s cars. Exterior and interior both. Created from vivid imaginations at a time when there were no limits and no reason to hold back or be sensible. Over the top was the goal. Whatever it took to make people trade last years model for the new one.

    A bit less likely to get a speeding ticket than in a Viper as well.
