1953 Buick Special Deluxe, Swift Current

 

From Alex Emond, in Saskatchewan: Parked across the street from a Swift Current school . Hard not to see a snarl in that grille. From early childhood , one learned to associate those three holes with a Buick. This car is half ugly , half beautiful, but great to see one still floating around at age 70. 



AL: This model year was relatively subdued, but within a year or two Detroit's  Festival of Chrome began. The  '58 Buick Roadmaster was perhaps the ultimate Belchfire.  Speaking of Buicks, we posted a nimble little Skylark convertible a while back. And speaking of Skylarks, you might remember the artist Mary Louise Geering's story about inheriting Aunt Barbara's car.
