Need pics of 50's side trim please...

well I guess that kinda says it all. Trying to get an idea if what I have in mind for a custom will work out.
Thanks!! :TU:

 

You can view Buick brochures of the 50's on the Fedrelandsvennen website :Comp:

 

That's great Erik! Thanks. That helps!!
But I really need some good side pics to start playing around w/ some designs/illus. for a (what I think) really , really cool-lookin' ride ( I think ) :laugh:

 

TTTo No:

 

Jason, see if this helps, if not I take some more pictures this weekend.

Re: Need pics of 50's side trim please..Project "Riv-Rod"

Louie thanks man!!!

Sweet lookin' ride!:TU: I guess I should explain more. The trim I need is the swoopy kind lond-arcing down before abruptly rising up over the rear wheel well. I have had nothing to do but stare and contemplate which way to go w/ the "RIV-ROD" , a '71 Riv done up like an old-school car.

Although the door-line gaps will need to be welded and recut on the older spear, I think it would look kick-ass. :grin: The '71's still use that style albeit a much more narrow and black rubber (and not the wider chromed that I'm lookin' for) one.

I don't think anyone has done this yet, but sittin on top some suade black would look sweeeeet. steel wheels, small chrome caps w/ beauty rings and wide whites and of course copious amounts of striping.:TU:

Measurements front to rear would be helpful too!!:beer

BTW A mid 50's Buick anything is on my (short) wish list.:laugh:

Many thanks!!!!

Killer!

 

Bob,
The piece directly behind the door that swoops down- is this connected to the part along the rear wheel well? I think I've seen it w/ out that part. But there is soooo many Buick styles. Thank you and yes that is on version I'm thinking of. The other swoops up and goes back. But can't keep the models straight.:sleep:

Thanks a bunch!!!!!:beer

BTW whadda think about the idea?:idea2:

 

Thanks Mark,
That's some nice Buicks. I really need some side pics so I can manipulate them and try to start some illustrations..:TU:
