      Buick es el PADRE del automóvil , es la única empresa automotriz mundial , que ha regalado los inventos y lujos más inéditos a la industria , imaginen que en los años treinta ya concebía focos escondidos vidrios eléctricos sensor de lluvia a la mínima gota de lluvia automáticamente eleva su capota , sólo Buick sólo Buick , y por lógica el único motor a nivel mundial hasta hoy día se lo deben a Buick , no a ningún Europeo solo a Buick es el PADRE del automóvil , que ironía , Mercedes donde estabas , esto para los que no conocen de historia les convoco que entren en las páginas de Buick y sabrán de todos los adelantos tecnológicos que Buick REGALO a la empresa automotriz , mundial y por desgracia pocos veneran inclusive en los USA , es la única firma que más tecnología ha puesto en sus coches de exhibición , y que hoy día muchos otros han copiado y se jactan de Premium , Buick si es Premium y lo será por la historia , y si no que quienes han inventado tanta tecnología inédita desdice treinta al cincuenta que firma automotriz , ninguna ,Buick debería de estar en otra posición dentro de los USA , es el PADRE la industria , Americana Y del mundo , Premium siempre fue y lo será , ninguna firma conquistó lo que está HIZO por el mundo aitomotriz

      He sure did he took something that was going to be crushed and it's a survivor this car if taken care of will be around many more years. I've seen show car's that were built in the 70s end up getting pushed in the back yard and sitting for 40 year's and falling apart. From time. A chopped 1956 Chevy Belair that once was. 19 40's Ford coupe chopped sitting in a barn I asked they guy if he wanted to sale it. It was a show car at one time but mice and time got to it. He didn't want to sell it I know he's to old to get it back together and enjoy it. I told him I would get it back on the road and enjoy it. He still didn't want to sell it, so I bought a 1947 Chevy coupe stylemaster instead body looks stock everything else has been changed.

      I tried to do that with a crusty one.. broke it in half. unweldable, total loss. So looks like I am at the very bottom of the customization totem pole.

      Rolling boogers is a much more complex task than fabricating a car.

    It’s truly amazing how he did that car! The fact that it took him eight years and he stuck with it is another amazing feat in itself. You did a great job on that car. It’s amazing how he kept all the original glass and everything and just made it look lower by putting it under in the front the way he did.

    I met Keith on an online forum where he was documenting his build. I was impressed he was keeping the brightwork and worked with him to do all the chrome plating and stainless restoration on the Kaiser. We hid all the bolts on the bumpers and grills. The car is just as beautiful in real life.

    Jay has a lot of class and you can tell he was genuinely impressed with the car and Keith’s workmanship. The kudos given on his show, I’m sure gave Keith even more of a since of pride than he already had. I wonder if Jay made him an offer for it? Great work It’s a sweet car!
