Buick Century Convertible 1957

This is the latest addition to our garage.
This Buick was exported from California to Sweden in 1999 and in July 2005 I bought it.
It is a good project car, and by summer 2006 it will be even nicer. I am thinking of a red and white paint, continental kit, air suspension and disc brakes in the front. The ride is very swampy, the brakes are heavy and the steering is sloppy, so a rack and pinion would be great if it can be incorporated easily.

The 300hp nailhead V8 and the Dynaflow automatic transmission is doing great so far!

I want to keep the car as much original as possible on the outside (why change an already perfect body?) but the 50 year old performance is not very safe, and we want to be able to drive to many meetings and other fun events.

Getting the 4-post lift installed! Another milestone reached!
