Good Lord, Chief. Now you're subject to scrutiny now as well.

I am a long-time Buick fan (had three of them) but the '54 was never a favorite of mine. This is interesting, but I think I prefer the '53 Wildcat...
You have gained a point. Your looks may have hauled as, but your mind is OK.

An ugly Beast! Gm made a good decision not to go into regular production of such a model.
Honesty goes a long way. I figured you had that base covered, Bob.

Buicks were known for their venti-ports and big chrome front bumpers. I always thought the "Nailhead" was their top engine but the Fireball V-8 was just as reliable and strong. Buicks built in this era used engines built by Buick, unlike 10 years later when GM was putting any engine in any car except the Cadillac. This car a a definite "One-Off" design, and now I have seen it. Thanx!
I don't charge for passing along knowledge. And you are welcome

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Any vehicle that uses leather straps to hold down the boot is the essence of beauty and class.

I agree with the first sentence. I'm at a loss as to how to respond to the second one.
