Cars in the hood, '57 Buick


 Love the red wheels with the crazy flamboyant body lines...

Is it fact or myth that the fanciest Buicks got four portholes, while more economical models (same year) had but three?

My family had one of those, green on bottom white on top. My dad had it painted all white by Earl Scheib for $29.95 and it came off the first time it got washed! He sold that car for a dollar.

Parked on the street it would look like a dinosaur grazing with sheep.

There's a Maserati Quattroporte running around town with, well, portholes in the front fenders. I know Maserati put them there, but still...

I want the wheels to be a darker red. I could perfectly mask the tires and lug nuts then rattle can paint them in about 30 minutes. then I would go race the Daytona 500 wearing an open face Bell and a pack of sun of a bitch Camels.
