Did that Buick look like this style?
 
Yeah, but I want to say that the grille mesh was vertical?

I think it was somebody with lots of skill, and ambition, and a wrecked/flooded SL they had for parts that they could only use body panels from.
 
I figure it takes a lot of work to adapt SL panels to a Lebaron of all things.
 
This should have been a sequel to the TC by Maserati.
 
It should be called "SL by Chrysler and Bob's Autobody"

In a perverse, sick, nauseating way I am actually impressed with this car, in the same way that I might be had Dr. Frankenstein introduced me to "something I have in my laboratory".

during my lunch break today. On my way home, I saw a '77-78 Plymouth "small" Fury sedan. Generic metallic police-car blue, faded and a bit ratty looking, but still solid and not rusty looking. I've seen this one around before.
 
On the way back to work, I saw circa 1969 Ford fastback. I'm guessing it was a Torino. Could you get just the Fairlane in a fastback? It was all black, and really sharp looking. It was also stalled out at a traffic light! But he did get it running.
 
Oh, I also spotted a Pontiac G8, in that coppery color. I think this might be the first time I've actually seen one out on the street.

the combination of nice weather and cheap gas seems to have energized the Street Rod community in the Phoenix area. I saw a nice '32 Roadster painted orange with a big supercharger scoop sticking out of the engine. Another was a black Deuce Coupe looking stock except for the jacked up rear end and missing side plates on the engine compartment, shiny black finish w red disc wheels.
 
I also saw what was apparently a stock daily driver '63 Chevy Impala coupe w the faux-convertible H/T. The maroon paint badly needed to be compounded but there were no dents or rust. Chromed Torq-Thrust style "mags" completed the period look though they looked almost tiny (14"?) on such a big car.

since it's texas, i envision a scenario like this: divorce settlement. wife's lawyer: my client is owed one Blue SL 600 convertible. huband's lawyer: the one with the 3 pointed star in the grille? wife and lawyer conference, yes that one.
husband and lawyer conference, we reluctantly agree, however we are asking xyz in return.

a black Chrysler 300G survivor in pretty good shape, great actually, except for some door dings.
also, a local car dealer with a small museum, the same one with the turbo trans am i posted about last week, brought an orange superbird, a sassy green challenger hemi(1 of 12), a black AAR cuda, a gold GTO judge, a GT 350 shelby, and a 65 silver corvette coupe.

that buick v6 (252ci) is only a couple of towns away from me.
252ci translates to 4.3 litres, which means 3/4 of a gm 350?
