Rod Powell's 1953 Buick
1953 Buick owned and restyled by Rod Powell of Salinas, California. Restyled around 1982, Rod sold the car to Dan Giroux of Palm Desert, California in 1985; "I put the 1955 Cadillac Sabre wheels on it when I first got the Buick in 1985," Dan told Kustomrama in 2015.[1]
In 1993, Dan sold the car. He bought it back in March of 2015. When Dan got the car in 2015, it had the same original lacquer paint. The engine and suspension had been changed.[1]
Sold
In July of 2022, Dan sold the car to a guy in Salinas that saw it being built at Rod's shop in the 1970s.[2]
