1948 Buick Streamliner by Norman E.
Timbs The
1948 Buick Streamliner by Norman E. Timbs is a muse in the world of classic
cars, an automobile from a time when curvy was most desirable in the eyes of
men. Looking at a car like this makes one lament the slim, simple direction
human attraction has gone, when the cars and cover girls leave plenty to be
desired in the most important aesthetic quality– shape. This classic Buick
Streamliner is in pristine condition, restored by Dave Crouse for the 2010
Concours d’Elegance. Its original construction took over two years, built with
an aluminum body around a steel chassis. Not only is it unlikely you’ll ever
see this beauty on the road, it’s likely that you’ll never see it on the auction
block. A car like this is far too rare, too beautiful that any owner could ever
want to pass it up– no matter the price. More images after the
break...
