58Roadmaster ◊ 2008-02-17 05:06	Well, we know it isn't really shaved. This one still has the bombsight hood ornament and most every other bit of trim. I think the interior is the only way to determine this one. I'm no expert on this era.
Buc84 ◊ 2008-02-17 05:27	Actually,this one is "Nosed",(But as 58 Roadmaster said,the hood ornament's still there? But I think there's some more emblems that are missing...)"Shaved" is when the side chrome/door handles are removed.(And "Decked" is the same as "Nosed",but to the trunk lid instead of the hood) Color's not factory,either? Mild Custom,wouldn't mind owning it....especially if it was still Buick powered? ("That" actually would make it unique?)
