Buick Century Estate Wagon Matador 1954

Buick, part of General Motors in the USA, manufactured their Century range from 1936 right through to the 1990s with one or two gaps in between, including WWII.  Over six decades, the Century came in various shapes and sizes and all with the same FR layout, including this one, launched in 1954 as an Estate Wagon.

For its fourth appearance our 1:87 scale model is decorated in bright red with black masked roof and bright red interior. Exterior trim is finished in chrome including the window surrounds and the distinctive downward arched radiator grille in chrome wiped black.  The Buick chrome signature flows along the rear wings in chrome, too. Tyres are the usual white wall variety fitting to the period with chrome hubs. It is registered in Maryland as 1431
