@gravedigr12 Restoring a vintage car that needs a lot of work means a lot of commitment. And money. Its always good to see cars like this restored. It can be personally rewarding. Thanks for enjoying this Buick.
Where was this car? Do you know who owns ir and where they got it? If so I know that car my dad had a 1958 buick special 4 door hardtop pink and white he had to sell because he got cancer but anyway if this is the same car i have more videos and pictures i can upload.
@Dogeg420 This Biuick was at a car show in St. Charles, Missouri. I don't know where they got it. It did have a for sale sign on the dash by the windshield but can't determine phone number. Sorry to hear about your dad. Perhaps this is the same Buick. Lets see some videos or pictures. Thanks.
@55lincoln This was a (thankfully) one year only body style. When the GM designers saw Chrysler's new '57 cars behind fencing, they went back to their studios and tore up the '59 designs and started over.
@itsmegp46 This is actual true automotive history you stated. I think in their haste to compete with Chrysler, they should have spent some more time on the Buick. Especially the front end. Pig nosed kid with braces. But I do like all of that chrome. Thanks again for your comments.
I bought one of these out of high school in '68. Weirdest thing about it was the four different ways to change the radio station. 1) switch on the floor next to dimmer switch. 2) the "wonder bar" over the buttons. just tap it and it would go to next station. 3) The "sonic eye" was an infrared beam that you waved your hand past and got the next station. 4) the selector buttons. Talk about redundancy. Great car except for the dynaflow trans. Too small for the cars weight.
@TheThumper49 4 ways to change the radio station??!! Good Grief! Almost sounds like a wiring problem, but if it worked, oh well. What an experience to own one of these chrome queens. I bet you wish you still had this 58 including 4 ways to change the radio station. Thanks for enjoying this pink beauty.
I love the 58 Special. The front looks like a mean animal showing it's teeth and the rear reminds you it's a comfortable cruiser. Nice looking car. I got a 69 Special Deluxe :-). They're worlds apart but both awesome
@snowman4839 That grille does look agressive. Well, maybe a mouth full of braces. I love all cars but am fond of '69 Buicks, all models. SO, you've got a special car also. Thanks so much for viewing this chrome queen and commenting.
@leonarddaccardi You know, they could really look like diamonds! Never quite thought of all those squares at diamonds. Thanks for taking an interest in this Buick.
@308RoadReady This 58 Buick is definetly a beauty queen. Love all that chrome and cathedral tail lights and grille. By the way, I have posted a video of a 59 Buick if you want to see that one also. Thanks for viewing and commenting.
My father began selling Buicks at Mid-Tex Motors in Waco, TX in 1949. In October '57, he went to a division meeting to preview the '58s. I still have the little 12 page booklet, Your B-58 Log Book, in which he took notes. He never got to sell them because he died of lung cancer on March 17, 1958, when he was only 59. The last car he drove was a blue and white '56 Buick Special 4-door sedan with Novi AC in the back.
@NDrLoR I am so sorry to hear about your Dad's passing. He sounds like a special Buick Man. I can picture that '56 sedan, pretty sharp. Thanks for sharing and commenting on this video.
i saw one of these for sale for only 3000$ needs alot of work but if this is the outcome im willing to work.
