Flintstones Special: 1956 Buick Special Sedan

Most classic car aficionados will tell you that mid-50s American cars were something special for the time — everyone else around the world was trying to figure out how to fix bombed out homes from WW2 or get indoor plumbing setup, but in the USA we were trying to figure out how to put more chrome on a giant piece of rolling metal. Yes, cars from the 60s are much more drivable and easy to maintain, but 50s cars have so much style and the ones that remain are expensive or rust buckets. This is the latter. Find this 1956 Buick Special Sedan bidding for $500 in Andover, MN via ebay.

Easy payments available…for a $500 car?!?
If you can’t afford the car, you sure as hellfire can’t afford to fix this sucka up.
The paint scheme gets real purty if you use the original 2-tone (white either roof/lower or mid-panel) from the factory: https://www.hotrodhotline.com/forsale/vehicles/buick/special/1956/listing/155167

PS I’m trying to figure out if the 2 front should be turned into dual cannons, or jet turbine intakes?
Due to constant traffic congestion in my city, I have to vote for the dual front mounted cannons!
Bidding ended, $940 was max bid, reserve not met.
Makes you wonder just what these folks were hoping to get for this fixer upper…
