You might check into the die cast world. I have seen several of the old Buicks in this line, however can't remember if I have seen a 56. Neat thing is, these are ready to go, only needing minor paint and correction to have a good representation of the real thing.

Every now and again I'll see some very unusual resin models on Ebay I've seen some 50's Buicks. They're usually relatively expensive, around $50.

If you're willing to pay the freight, and haul out the modelling skills, Revell did a series of such vehicles (IIRC, they were in 1/25 scale) back in the late 50's.  They're definitely technology of that era and are a challenge to build.  I remember building a '55 or '56 Buick convertible and an Olds sports coupe.  There was also a '55 Ford 'vert and a '56 Mercury hardtop.  Revell occasionally reissues the Ford, but I can't recall the others being re-popped.  You can cast about in the various trader's forums, or haunt evil-bay. Just be ready to pay biggie baggage for the rare Buick.

Hi all,

Anyone know of any models of the 1956 Buick Special 2-door, any scale?  It seems all I can find is 56 Chevys, Buick models from that year seem rare...

Thanks!
