Summary
This historically significant 1954 Buick Russ Losing Special is a custom car that won Best in the Handbuilt Class at the Tacoma Motorama in the early 1960s, and was featured in Car Craft and Custom Car Yearbook. It features a 1940 Chevrolet chassis, a 1956 Buick Nailhead engine with custom fuel lines and an elaborate eight-pipe exhaust system, and distinctive sculpted quarter panels with canted quad headlights. While the base custom remains intact, a tri-rod front bumper, headrests, and top have been added since 1962.
