Rona!d Posted March 4, 2012 Share #3123 Posted March 4, 2012 (edited) Tell me (as a non US citizen and never lived in the 1950´s) which one it is, Stu! A Roadmaster it is not (the only Buick I could ever drive for some hours). So could be a ... Special Series Model 41D-Four-Door Deluxe Sedan Super Series Model 52-Four-Door Sedan Century Series Model 61-Four-Door Deluxe Sedan I think it´s #3, the Century Series Model 61. If you have no idea, THIS BUICK "Model 1954" CONFIGURATOR could be fun and help to find out! (You need to register, sorry for that.)

stuny Posted March 5, 2012 Share #3125 Posted March 5, 2012 Ron - It's a Special, identifiable by the by the chrome writing just in front of the fuel filler door. In the circle is an upper case letter "S" followed by lower case "pecial". 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimofnyc Posted March 5, 2012 Share #3126 Posted March 5, 2012 OK, I'll take a wack at it... First of all is it a three wheeler? Maybe some sort of low-budget Citroën? Jim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_Thompson Posted March 5, 2012 Share #3127 Posted March 5, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) Four wheels and definitely not low budget! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona!d Posted March 5, 2012 Share #3128 Posted March 5, 2012 Ron - It's a Special, identifiable by the by the chrome writing just in front of the fuel filler door. In the circle is an upper case letter "S" followed by lower case "pecial". The rims ornamental rings confused me, couldn´t find them on the special. Maybe added later.

Andreas.Pichler Posted March 5, 2012 Share #3129 Posted March 5, 2012 Four wheels and definitely not low budget! ...and defininetely a wonderful picture, looks like a not low budget sculpture - but I have no idea what a car it could be. I will try to do some meditations about it Cheers, Andreas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest suilvenman Posted March 6, 2012 Share #3130 Posted March 6, 2012 The kind of lines and presentation I'd associate with a Chapron design for Delage or Delahaye but I can't track down anything near to it. I agree with Andreas, a beautiful photo, John. Ken. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_Thompson Posted March 6, 2012 Share #3131 Posted March 6, 2012 Thanks for the compliment Andreas and Ken, but the lines of this automobile is art in itself. Okay, here's a clue. This is the bonnet (hood) of a similar model to a successful LeMans racer. If this is not enough to jog memories, a larger photo will follow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevidon Posted March 6, 2012 Share #3132 Posted March 6, 2012 MBZ 300SLR circa 1956. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steed Posted March 6, 2012 Share #3133 Posted March 6, 2012 I am focusing upon the bulge, which suggests a suspension point for a modern GT racer, so I'll go with the Audi based Bentley Speed 8 (??) that won at LeMans a few years back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_Thompson Posted March 6, 2012 Share #3134 Posted March 6, 2012 Neither a modern car nor a Mercedes 300SLR, however this model was street-legal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
