1954 Buick Wildcat II

(from General Motors Press Release)  This is a rakish sports convertible. Now painted and trimmed in bright blue (the original color, after being shown for years in tan), it features what Buick called "a revolutionary front-end design with flying-wing fenders that flare straight out from the body, exposing the entire front wheel and part of the front-end suspension."

The body is fiberglass. The engine is a 220-hp V-8. It is owned by Sloan Museum.
