Not worth 20K.
Dime a dozen in CA, not even the LowRiders will touch them.

Oh yeah baby, look at those Buick ports on the fenders. That's gotta be about 5k in chroming alone, maybe more. That may still be a straight 8 though. No speed parts for those that I am aware of. Now a nailhead, that i can "fix".

But I was really temptedlast week. Locally there was a '67 GS340 droptop on craigslist for 12K. But if i am going to get a droptop GS, it's gotta be an original big block car. I do already have a '67 chasis manual though....

Our family first car was a Forest Green 1950 Buick Special.

Two things stuck in my mind about the car, the "chrome teeth" and the rotating antenna.

That car has braces!

I actually like the '57 Century more than a '57 Bel Air.

Front end reminds me of the toon car from Who Framed Roger Rabbit-

maybe done on purpose too. I saw some cartoon where the front of the car must have been copied from an old Buick Roadmaster. Very distinctive grille.
