Hey all,
I am a 24 year old kustom from New Jersey who daily drives a chopped Merc with a flatty, so I am into nostalgia...but recently aquired a 57 Buick hardtop for the right price and am now building the car for a fellow club member. Before I start cutting into it to smooth it out, lower it and put in some Lincoln buttons (Im leaving the portholes...fear not) I wanted to see if you all could help.
The 57 has a one piece back window, which is probably the only 57 I have seen like that. Is this a rare model? I have seen a bunch that have the 3 piece (which I happen to like more) but would like to know if this is something that I should not cut into.
Any help would be very appreciated. The car still has a 364 and Dynaflow so its not too late to turn back to original if it is worth it, otherwise its time to make a kustom out of it.
Thanx
Chris
