Right, thought I saw 4 leaves on there, not 3. I believe the 300 models had 3.

Leaves? The scoops? The 1952 Patrician did indeed have four in order to keep up with Buick Roadmaster's four portholes but some other models had three. That's why many 1951 Patricians got a fourth added by the dealer.
It also has some odd scripts on the front fenders.

Yes, I don't recall the official name.
Compare the "rooster combs" of the V8 cars 😂

If anyone is looking for a 1952 Patrician, here is one I spotted this morning on FB. It is listed as a '51, but it is a '52. A little deteriorated, but not too bad overall and definitely could be turned around without too much effort. Has four of the rear trim darts or whatever they are called. I have heard some people refer to them as "bottle openers" because they certainly do look like that:

The 1954 Cavalier is beautiful and appears to be the same color combination as my 1954 Patrician parts car. Oddly, the generator is on the right side of the engine and there is some strange canister below where the generator would normally be. Otherwise it looks impeccable.
The 1952 Patrician is already Pending.

Good eye on the '54 Cavalier. I didn't see the odd placement of the generator at first. Now that I'm looking closer they have the horns mounted on the hood at the rear for some odd reason. Also a modern washer reservoir, and the wiper motor is missing. Interesting.

I noticed the reservoir but not the horns or missing wiper motor. The generator was too distracting! I have a reservoir for my 1954 which I took out a couple years and will leave out. It was installed farther forward using existing holes and connects to the overflow at the bottom so no modifications needed. If you want it, you can have it if I can find it!
The coil is also oddly mounted and appears to have a group 24 battery rather the proper group 2.
