Vehicle Description
The 1957 Buick Caballero was already a specialty-built wagon, and
so it's the perfect start for a custom cruiser build. Not only is
the paint package striking, but also you're going to love all the
details, including a custom leather interior and air
conditioning.
The Caballero was special for a design with no b-pillar. It lets
you roll down all the windows and have the same open look as a
cool-cruising hardtop sedan. These were available for a short time,
and its unique body was built outside of Buick's normal channels.
So this is already a rare treat to see even before people pour over
the full custom package. The paint is an exceptional choice because
a metallic maroon is usually done for a big and bright look, but
this goes for added attention with its matte finish. The high gloss
is saved for the Firemist Red on the roof. This one was built to
have more of a street machine attitude, so the paint seems to be
specifically going for more of a hot rod vibe and less about a
concourse lawn. And you understand that all around this Buick with
the halo headlights, shaved door handles, and 18-inch Ridler alloys
on a lowered suspension. But they also made sure to keep the
brightwork looking its best, too. The big grille looks like a
10,000-watt smile, and the bumpers are large, proud, and gleaming.
Plus, we could call the unique profile a "triple-dip Buick,"
because the unique hardtop is showcased by the beautiful slope seen
in the roofline, doorline, and side trim.
Because the pillarless design makes sneaking a peek at the interior
much easier, you'll love how inviting the whole custom setup is.
The seats are true masterpieces done in leather. The brown with
wave-pattern maroon inserts look amazing, and in the center of each
one is a custom embroidered Caballero logo. Even the dash,
headliner, and all four doors were done to match. You'll love the
extra details, too, like the glossy wood-like trim across the dash
and plush maroon carpeting. The steering wheel is purely built for
elegance with a full chrome trim ring and Buick crest in the
center. Everything from the speedometer to the heat/defrost
controls feel like part of a thoughtful layout. There was a big
investment in this custom car, and we even have over $16k in
receipts from the last few years. And while they were working on
this wagon, they also gave it some great upgrades. The radio is a
retro-style AM/FM unit that features Bluetooth and speakers in the
rear tailgate. And the cold-blowing air conditioning means it's
easy to roll down all the windows on this unique Buick even in the
summertime.
1957 was also a great year because it was the debut of an updated
and larger 364 cubic-inch Nailhead V8 motor. The lightweight
design, big torque, and hardy construction make these legendary
powerplants. It's pleasantly surprising to see such a stock look to
the V8 in such a custom car. It's crisp, clean, and classic. We
know they did this on purpose because a motor rebuild is part of
the receipt file. It fires up readily, the dual exhaust makes a
mellow rumble, and the two-speed Dynaflow automatic transmission
makes sure you get a Buick-level smoothness. Add in power steering,
power brakes, and modern tires, and you've got a something that
you'll love driving to all the shows near or far.
What was once a rare premium wagon is now an even more unique
street machine. And they even kept the right luxuries, too. You
know this is an amazing build you can't let get away. Call
