Good,bad ugly,beautiful.At least you could easily tell what year and make,unlike todays anonymous puddle jumpin',40,000 dollar crackerboxes.Didn't matter much how well built they were,most people traded every one or two years,three if you were really poor.I mourn the economy which made this possible.Now people finance a damn toyota for six+ years until they could puke everytime they look at it!Todays cars make the Edsel look mighty tempting.It WAS the best selling new car in history,FYI !!
58 buicks are one of GM beautiful classics of the area...GM is 6 feet under now, they don't even make oldsmobiles, or pontiacs anymore. 58 buicks are one of my favorites. all of them back them were way better than todays crap they make. great video,
My Dad once told me that I never saw a car I didn't like. This this the first. What a butt-ugly car. The checker board chrome grille would take a full day just to polish, top heave, extreme vertical design. A phone booth on wheels. Handles like the Titanic.

If one car can represent `50s excess, this is it.

We thought they were gorgeous when they came out, but the transmission was
horrible and the car wouldn't get out of its own way. Definitely a Grandpa car.
Google some of the road tests from 1958. An ultra fancy GOOCHER.

@4freespeech Yep and the ones equipped with "Air-Poise" ride, (air suspension),
within months out the showroom would be seen going down the road with one
tail light high in the air and the other side almost dragging the ground, so people
would get the rubber air bags removed & just use the regular springs without.
These were beautiful but like a high-maintenance french whore, owners soon
got tired of the cost of operation & sold 'em. There weren't too many made in '58.
