Message: Portholes? I always believed that Buick started putting 4 portholes on the "Century" series beginning in 1954.- Am I mistaken?, or is this model?

(PICS) This time, a few resin BUICKS from a while ago..... by Clifford Read #26847

Buicks by Alan Dinsmore #26847.1

Portholes? by Stanton Lyman #26847.1.1

My first impulse was to agree with Stanton. Then I checked old ads. (pics) by David Holcombe #26847.1.1.1

According to a Google search, they still used three in '54. They must have waited until '55 (EOM) by Clifford Read #26847.1.1.2

Stanton, being first of all a Buick collector, I can confirm you are mistaken by Alex Taylor #26847.1.1.3

Very nice display. The '57 & '54 are my faves. (EOM) by Jack Dodds #26847.2

Clifford, I admire your photography and your skill in correcting these issues. Please by Randall Olson #26847.3

I also thought the trim on the Spark Riviera was a goof. But then I squinted by Mark Lampariello #26847.4

I've tried to bring the gutter rail to its rightful location. See pics below.... by Clifford Read #26847.4.1

How did you do it? (EOM) by Harvey Goranson #26847.4.1.1

I carefully filed off the original gutter detail and painted the filed area black..... by Clifford Read #26847.4.1.1.1

Clifford, that's some damn good work you did to correct that flaw. (EOM) by Steve Jakubczak #26847.4.1.1.1.1

I agree. Clifford, your work is really impressive. Well done! (EOM) by David Holcombe #26847.4.1.1.1.1.1

Here's NEO's '57 Roadmaster Hardtop Coupe (PIC) by Barry Levittan #26847.5

Only the Special and Century Buicks had the three piece windows. (EOM) by Bob Jackman #26847.5.1

I respectfully disagree, Bob - the Model 76R hardtop coupe had a divided rear window. by Barry Levittan #26847.5.1.1

I always thought what Bob thinks. But, much to my surprise, here's a pic. by John Kuvakas #26847.5.1.1.1

Note the scallops ahead of the rear wheels on that 76R. NEO's is the 75 which has Roadmaster script. by Barry Levittan #26847.5.1.1.1.1

I'm waiting for a 43rd version of the 8th generation Riviera 1995-1999 by John Quilter #26847.6
