The Century Caballero Estate Wagon, GM's finest and most expensive station wagon, wore Buick's new styling very well.

Especially noteworthy is the full 4 door hardtop pillarless construction.

Buick station wagon bodies were constructed by the Ionia Body Company, an independent supplier to GM located in Flint.

The Caballero utilized a 300hp version of the Buick V8 enlarged to 364cid for 1957 and a Dynaflow automatic transmission.

There were just over 10,000 units produced in 1957.

This particular car was the subject of a custom build with many upgraded features.

Front suspension is all tubular A-arms with coilover springs built by TCI.

There are front disk brakes and read drums that are power assisted.

The motor is a 364cid crate engine coupled to a 700R overdrive transmission, with a Ford 9" rear end.

A Vintage Air unit cools the entire interior of this grand estate wagon.
