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 qualityââ?¬â?? shape. This classic Buick Streamliner is in pristine condition, restored by Dave Crouse for the 2010 Concours dââ?¬â?¢Elegance. Its original construction took over two years, built with an aluminum body around a steel chassis. Not only is it unlikely youââ?¬â?¢ll ever see this beauty on the road, itââ?¬â?¢s likely that youââ?¬â?¢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 upââ?¬â?? no matter the price. More images after the break...
