Here's the newest of all Estate Wagons - the 1957 Buick Century Estate Wagon (Model 69), known as the Caballero. In performance, the Caballero is as big and smooth as it looks. It delivers standard equipped with new Variable Pitch Dynaflow and the record new 300-horsepower high-compression V-8 engine.

With a 122-inch wheelbase, the Caballero rides like a limousine, a matchless balance of boulevard softness and rough-road stability. The new ball joint front-end suspension, levelized Braking, ride improvements-all contribute to the ease of handling that makes Caballero a pleasure to own.

1957 Buick Videos

Buick produced only a few TV commercials for 1957. In comparison to earlier years, Buick had no major TV series sponsorship.

For internal salesmen training, Buick continued its DOT (Dealer Training Organisation) program. But even this was cut down to only nine videos (Buick produced 22 for 1956!).
