In 1983 I bought a customized 1950 Buick in Indianapolis that was channeled and had a removable steel hardtop a**** other things. Last Saturday Dennis Metz (Bob Metz' son) confirmed it was his first custom and it placed third in the Indianapolis Custom Auto Show in 1951 and provided a number of photos. There is no question that it is the same car and I am now planning to take it back to its original appearance and i would like to see if anyone has period color photos or first person experience that will enable me to make it accurate. I particularly would like information about the way the front wheel skirt/spat was constructed and functioned to allow wheel access. These were not with the car when I bought it. I also am looking for information about interior and trunk, the latter was gutted and the original interior colors are unknown. It is currently black. Brett Johnson
