Thread: Buick Models - Antique Automobile Club of America Discussion Forums

Started 10 months, 2 weeks ago by BJM
I work part time at a grocery store Wine & Spirits department. On my breaks I grab a magazine off our magazine rack, go upstairs and read through it, then put it back on my way back to W & S. Bored after reading most of the car magazine offerings, I spotted a magazine devoted solely to Car Modeling. I grabbed it and went upstairs. One of the featured models was a 62 Electra. I used to do ...

I do when I don't have a real car torn apart...which isn't often. The last one I built was a '51 Chevy Fleetline, and before that a '66 Wildcat and a '66 Riviera...

I have some unbuilt models...not sure that counts. The boys might wind up getting at them before me (well at least the Impala SS). Our renovator builds models. He's sent me some amazing photos and goes to shows / competitions. The hours he spends just blows me away. There was an article in Friday's paper in the automotive section on modeling. If this thread keeps going or I remember, I'll ...

Bryan, I have not built a model for quite a few years now, but continue to collect them. Among the 1959 Buick owners I know is Paul Hettick, who builds models professionally. I've commissioned him to construct a few Buick models to my specifications, including one of my '59 Electra. In fact, Paul has built numerous replicas of the '59 Buicks owned by BCA members, and many of us hope to bring ...

Wow that's awesonme. Build models professionally? Of course, I am not sure how one would do a particular model to scale. I'm not sure how the regular models can be made, especially with complex shapes like the 59 Buicks.

I am certain that the cost of a model would be out of reach for most of us that would want to get one or more of our favorite Buick(s). Stevo

Bryan, there are numerous resin-casters around the country who are creating new kits of old Buicks. Many are based on the original AMT 3-in-1 kits from the '50's and '60's, then modified to broaden the range to include body styles (like Estate Wagons) that were never originally offered. Professional model builders like Paul typically start with some of these new resin kits, but they are also ...

Wow, they look like they're right out of the resto shop and ready to park in the garage and drive to the show in the spring. The only thing that is missing is the original road dust. Sweet... Dandy Dave!

What scales are those '59s and '60? Jan Zverina BCA#39915 San Diego CA 1960 4719

Centurion replied 10 months, 2 weeks ago
Jan, these cars are 1/25-scale. I know that Paul has done some spectacular 1960 Buick 4-door sedans, so a fine replica of your '60 Electra 4719 would certainly be possible.
