Wow, that’s a BEAUTY!

The cable on the back of the seat was to aid people in maneuvering in the back seat.

Mr. B. Here ! 🍩☕️👀😎👍 : My dad a 58 Olds 98 coupe . People mix chrome with stainless. Nice car , great video ☕️👀😎👍🇺🇸

Gorgeous! I love old Buicks! Take us for a ride in her sometime soon!

Magnificent!

Many cars being produced right now are sporting grills that are heavily influenced by this one with its floating squares.

The factory air configuration is exceedingly rate and gratifying to see.

Flipping ashes out of a car is illegal just about everywhere; but in those days no one gave a shit. My parents used to drink beer in the car on road trips... today you can go to jail for that.

love it so much!

My grandmother had one of these we lived in Oakland California. I was 7 years old and we drove it back to Lincoln Nebraska on Route 66 then up. The car had a warning buzzer that alerted you if you were going to fast that you could set. I remember him saying a few choice words because he kept setting it off so he turned it up all the way. I have a 1966 Buick Skylark convertible I just had a frame off restoration. Maybe we’ll meet at a show somewhere. Thanks for the memories.

Chrome AND stainless..

Over the top, but georgeous IMHO.

Yeah, the tissue dispenser was a dual purpose. Once you bought the car and got the car home, you went straight to the tissue box to cry because it was so much chrome shining back in your face 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 and if you were the kid that had to wash the car, you would cry even more because it would take all weekend to polish the chrome and you didn’t get to go out and play with your friends 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Yes, some clown from the EPA is probably watching this video going. Oh my God, they destroyed half the planet chrome plating all of that steel 😂😂😂😂

More chrome than you can shake a stick at 😂😂😂😂😂

Noice!!! Loved all that chromed out dashboard! As a kid I sat in my father's Buick and just gawked at that dash for hours. Then I discovered the cigarette lighter,.......dad was not happy..lol R.I.P. Dad....

In 1962 my father had a Buick Special with 3 on the tree. Not too many had stick shift back than.

A very beautiful and detailed restoration. It would be much more presentable if the hood and trunk hinges weren't squeaking. Please spend a few more bucks and buy some oil.

It looks like you did a great job. My father-in-law had a Frazer tiller that he used for his tilling business. Nothing tilled like those things. All the best.

WOW UPON WOW!!! JUST AMAZING!!!

Viva o v 8

The 58s were luxury boats. They were in competition with the cheaper Cadillacs. The seats were loungers. Air suspension was offered. It was less than $200 extra. Some worked well. Some didn’t.

I read some of the other comments about the cord across the seat. Long before 1958 Detroit was making no effort to pay homage to old open cars and their need for blankets. This cord was intended for people to store their coats, to keep from having to hold them. People who could afford a Buick also could afford heavy wool coats that became a burden as the car warmed up. As for needing blankets, probably not so much. Car heaters were common by then and worked well. I had a neighbor who had a 1956 Pontiac with rear heater ducts.

REALLY NICE CAR ! I LIKED THE 1958 OLDS A BIT BETTER, OWNED ONE IN 1961 AS FAMILY CAR .

Do you agree ? They gotta lot of car in the 50,s

Just fantastic!

Kunst In tegenstelling tot die computer designe troep tegenwoordig.

The cable on the seatback was to hang lap blankets

The belt on the back of the seat is a holdover to Old Coach working days that would hold a blanket that would go across the knees of the people in the backseat

These cars had a level of workmanship that you will never see in modern vehicles. You can't put craftmanship into plastic.

Beautiful

Beautiful car but the coupling of internal parts of the dashboard is incredibly bad done. No European car could have been sold with these tolerances.

My dad had a 58 Super. Loved that car. I remember you started it by pushing the gas pedal to the floor. It also had cloth interior but it had very narrow stripes in it.

Very well done, and just a beautiful car.

Absolutely gorgeous. We had one similar back in early 60's. It was like a house on wheels. Riding 8 deep.

I can see why Chrysler products were popular in 1958. This car is extravagant and was cleaned up for 59, possibly in response to the forward look from the Chrysler stable.

I think that rope is called a Robe Rail.....it's to put your coat on. .. I think.

Stunning! How many similar 1958 Buick Roadmasters still exist in the USA?

Gorgeous.❤️😳❤️😍

Hats off with regards to the workmanship that went into the 58 Roadmaster both by GM and the restoration team. That level of build was gone by the early 1960'ies. Well done.

I learned to drive in a '58 Buick Special. White with a brown top (top was painted because owner didn't like a solid white car back then). I loved that car even though it wasn't "cool" by the teen standards of the day. To this day the '58 Buick is my favorite of all the cars ever built.

I am fortunate. Also, I am old, I rode in my 1958 2dr hardtop when it was new. My aunt and uncle bought it in Flint Michigan where it was made. They put 4700 (47 hundred) miles on it and uncle saw the 1959 and had to have a bright red 59 convertible. So my mom bought the car in 1959 and decided it was too big due to a couple parking near disasters!! It got parked in the back of my dad's service station and a couple sheets put over it. Once a year dad would start it, drive it maybe a mile away and a mile back and park it. In 1964 it was given to me as a birthday present. I still have it and it now has 11,872 miles on it. The rear seat still has the plastic covering over it. The air cleaner on my car is different from yours, it is called the "batwing" type, has two inlets and is the same as what Oldsmobile and Cadillac used. It runs and drives great, never been in the rain that I am aware of. Dark blue body, light blue top and a blue and blue interior. Built to last back then.

Ugly, ostentatious car!

Rope swung across the back of the front seat is for lap blankets to hang from.

"The King of Chrome".

Did you or do you work in the auto industry? Nice that you can afford the time and expense to restore a childhood memory. I'm envious.

NICE, Dad had a 58 Roadmaster convertible, all white with blacktop..

Absolutely gorgeous car

The strap going along the back of the front seat was to hold a blanket, which was a luxury item, a throwback to the horse and carriage days.

That "thing" on the back of the front seat is called a "blanket cord." In olden days of motoring (no efficient heaters), "car blankets' were the norm. Better appointed cars had cords to neatly stow the blankets. Buick, whose target buyer was from the 'teens and '20s, remembered this thoughful touch, and ot was a selling point. If this is a Roadmaster 75, then its Flight Pitch Dynaflow (Buick's companion to the equally horrific Chevy Turboglide) has been removed and replaced with a Twin Turbine Dynflow, which many dealers did to try to stem customer complaints. Flight Pitch (Triple Turbine in '59, after Buick dumped the toxic Dynaflow name, and the transmission itself by 1963) was standard on the Roadmaster 75 and the ill-fated Limited, optional on all other cars that year. Why did Buick Division hold on to the gas guzzling, inefficient Dynaflow for so long? Buick was losing sales yearly to Olds on the low end, and Cadillac on the high end, both equipped with the highly efficient Dual Coupling Hydra-Matic. GM honcho Al Sloan was obsessed with developing a constant velocity transmission ever since he took over GM from Billy Durant. Even after the success of Hydra-Matic in 1938, Sloan equated the firm shifts to be a "lack of quality." After a few failed attempts to develop a mechanical friction CVT, the "Dynaflow project" began at Buick under Harlow Curtice, using hydrokinetic (torque converter) drive in the mid '30s. Although a failure at efficirncy, it provided Sloan's solution to smoothness. Cadillac and Oldsmobile weren't buying it, although Chevrolet took up the idea for their almost-as-inefficient Powerglide. By the early '50s, Buick knew they were in trouble with Dynaflow, but Sloan and Harlow Curtice would not budge. Finally, Sloan retired in "58, and Curtice in '62, and Dynaflow and its notorious inefficiency were gone by '64, replaced by the Twin Turbine 200 (built by Buick) and the Turbo Hydra-Matic 400 (built by Detroit Transmission Division), which Buick shared with Cadillac by mid-year in senior cars, which allowed GM to end production of the expensive and heavy four speed Hydra-Matic 315 at that time.
