WHAT KIND OF CAR
What time of car is Kathy driving....I know its a station wagon but does anybody know what kind
share1956 Buick, probably a Century.
shareWith goofy mismatched and distracting fender skirts that GM never offered.
shareI just noticed another car just like it, in red - without the mismatched skirts.
shareWhat are "skirts?" I was born in 1950, but I wasn't much of a car person. I assume you're not referring to fins, which almost every automaker used in those years. Answers, please, anybody?

If you google fender skirt images, you will get some great pics of them - they fit on the car body and half cover the back wheel - I have no idea what purpose they were meant to serve...but I guess there was A LOT of superfluous stuff on the cars of that era!
shareStation wagons are utilitarian vehicles and absolutely no one during that era installed fender skirts on them. Its modern-day owner no doubt ran across a set somewhere and installed them on that wagon before lending it out as a picture car. But that dates the car to the modern day, and they should have been removed for the scenes in which it appeared. Fender skirts were always rare on Buicks but they were offered as aftermarket items then from J. C. Whitney and probably other firms and no doubt did appear on some Buick hardtop or convertible of the era, but almost certainly not a station wagon.
