In 1952, the chrome trim didn't extend on the rear quarters above the wheelwells. There was still a crease in the body line there but on this picture, it looks more like chrome trim than just a crease in the body. 1952 Special http://www.plan59.com/images/JPGs/bu52roof01.jpg 1952 Special http://www.hubcapcafe.com/i/2003/blaine/buic5201.jpg 1951 Special http://www.calcruising.com/51buick-1.jpg 1951 Super (note the different shape of the upper part of the door, the sedan has a similar shape http://www.hubcapcafe.com/i_rdr/2003/buick5101.JPG 1952 Super http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2496147 /images/011/590.jpg
