Big and bold, the Century Caballero was Buick’s top of the line wagon for 1957. Caballeros were only built in 1957 and 1958, a victim of the recession and a price tag that was a hefty $600 more than the lower priced Rivera and Special wagons. This beauty found on Hemmings is just 99 mile removed from a complete restoration that included a transmission rebuild, re-chroming, all new rubber all new tinted glass and new rubber. The interior and exterior are done in Maroon and Dover White. At $75,000 this beautiful beast doesn’t come cheap but when if ever do you see these on the market?
Note the “Estate Wagon” badge.
Not to be outdone by the exterior, there is plenty of chrome on the inside.
Very nice and very clean. I really like the dash. Is it chrome or polished aluminum? The red just pops. Very nice. I have a 57 Buick Special mild custom. I bought it when I was only 17 years old. In August I will be 46. My car had only 28,000 miles when I purchased it in 1983. It was green and white with a white & green interior. After being re-done for the fourth time. It is now two tone blue with blue pearl, over white with blue pearl. Blue and white interior.
I family have been Buick owner for years and my family had on that was Black & white. great car for the drive-in’s when your 18.
