@@donaldpiper9763 I hope your dad wasn’t hurt. Having a car totaled is an emotional experience on many levels. Back then it was more so because of the deep attachment we had for our cars. Lots of times I had to take a part time job to afford it.
MAGNIFICENT….. can you just imagine how spectacular these cars looked when new , they are SPECTACULAR now so imagine the impact all those years ago … And that lady is such a sweetheart thank you so much for sharing her story
I love the Chrome! I love the Chrome! It is so tacky as to drive me nuts. This is such a beautiful car even if it was ham-fisted in design. It is so solid looking and that color is amazing. Charles knocks it out of the park with this one!
Absolutely jaw-dropping. Thank you and the owner for sharing such a pristine treasure (and its history!). My two best descriptors ... "Two cranks and a handle" "A place to store your lap robe" Thanks again Charles!
My grandfather got a new Buick every two years back then. What I remember as a kid back then is how heavy those doors were when the car was parked on a slope. One of his Buicks was from that same dealer, the others were bought in Gordon Nebraska. His ranch was between those two towns.
Yes, back in those days you could afford a new car every other year. The saying was then, "the darned ash trays are full, so, it's time to get a new car, I guess"!! LOL
@@tedecker3792 Yup, that's how I got my first car, at age 17, a 1955 Ford Ranch Wagon, 2 door, now highly collectable; as my dad got a brand new 1964 Dodge truck for his business, as a home builder, in L.A. :D
Amazing what we once were able to manufacture in this country. 58 Buicks came off the assembly line like McDonald's makes hamburgers then in 59 everything was redesigned again. These cars weren't that popular when new, but many collectors admire them now.
Oh his wife was crazy, This car is so much prettier than anything Cadillac made in 1959. This is a absolute work of art, it looks absolutely pristine. I love that green color and all that beautiful chrome. WOW WOW WOW is all you can say.
Nice thing about it that it is easily indentifyable as a '58 Buick. Nowadays you often have to look closely to see who made a vehicle as many look so similar.
My parents had a 1957 Buick Super 4-door hardtop, two tone light and dark green. Not as over the top as the 1958 but still, a striking automobile. It was our fsmily's first factoty sir conditioned car.
Now that was a heck of a tug boat! When I was an 8 year old kid the neighbor across the street had a new ,'58 Buick, the wife would drive it and she could hardly see over the hood she was very short. A few years later they were driving a '62 Corvair!

It's a work of art, and to think they were mass-produced to this standard. It could not be done today. I love the color-matched interior, right down to the steering wheel. The color is Hunter Green.
As a Buick guy since I was a little kid pretending to drive my mom's 59 Roadmaster, the 58 Super is the Holy Grail of Buicks for me. Beautiful and I mean BEAUTIFUL car, hats off to the family for keeping it almost perfect. 👍👍
Pat. There was no Roadmaster in 59. But I know what you mean. Hehe. I had a 58 & 59 Buick back in the early 60’s. The 58 was by far the better of the two.
Ed's Auto Review did a fantastic story on the '58' GM models that is worth watching! They were over the top on bright work but OMG to see a driver in that condition is special!
It’s like Arnie Cunningham walked up to Harley Earl himself and said “show me.” Lots of good visual coverage of the insane level of trim on that wonderful land yacht.
@@anderander5662 I once sold a 1970 Mustang, 351 Cleveland, with a four speed, to a guy in England, his neighbors hated it and him, and would say, "there goes Tony in his damn Yank car"!!! LOL ;D
That was the essence of maximum size, chrome, and overall '58 gaudiness. But cost less than the average small car now. At least back then one could tell one car model from another. Alas, I have said I'm glad I grew up when I did. In '58 I was 8 years old.
This lady has an incredibly good taste. Everything about this car has class: From the design, the originality to the stunning color! I think the Buicks of 58 and 59 were the greatest ever built. Friends of mine have pristine 58 Buick limited. A four door and a covertible, and they own many 59 Buicks from4d ht to stations and convertibles. I do not own one, but I have several Chevies and Pontiacs of the Golden Age of GM. Those classic GM vehicles were by far the best cars on this planet,
I had trouble finishing the video because my eyes were misted over. It took me back to my days as a teenager when I knew people who owned such yachts!! They were “just cars” to be used up and thrown away. What a privilege to see a survivor such as this so lovely preserved by one family. Car stories don’t get much better than this!
My dad had one of these except it was silver with blue interior..He surely loved his buicks. he had several over the years...I miss him and his cars...
Love this ode to chrome Buick. Also your color coordinated shirt. I know! When just a child, there was this old woman named Mable. She had a 58 Buick, in black. She visited a neighbor regularly, turning the front end into the curb, until the curb feelers told her to stop. The big rear end sticking out. Thanks for the memories . This is a beautiful survivor car. ❤
Nothing like these old cars. Hand assembled, lacquer paint, real chrome, full frames... oh the joy of that Buick ride. Thanks Charles for presenting this diamond. - Jim
I remember when these arrived in showroom floors. My brother and I started going on our bicycles in 1957 to look at all the new cars when they arrived at the dealers. It was a big deal. Some of the dealers put out WW2 searchlights to attract people. The '58 Buicks were really stunning. They very quickly were dubbed "The King Of Chrome".
What I love about this car is how many late 50s design clichés are slathered across it, yet the fins are fairly understated, compared to the Chrysler products of the time. An amazing work of art.
My grandparents had a 1958 Roadmaster 4 door sedan in a salmon color. Had even more chrome in the interior. It was a true land yacht. If it was out in the sun you dare not touch any of the chrome 🔥🔥 Burn your lil fingers to the bone. The multicolor & textured interiors of the 50s and 60s are what really sets this era apart from todays mostly black interiors. Thanks for the ride Charles.
It's another find, Charles. It might be the nicest 1958 Buick left. It was Harley Earl's last turn at bat. He scored a home run! I was born in October, 1957. These were in the showrooms then.
Just Beautiful 🥰💕💥we had Cadillac’s growing up 🎉but, for me it was Buicks ❤had 3 Specials, one Roadmaster 🤗near future a 1958 Limited Riviera coupe (Carlsbad Black) Thank that Kitten 🐱 for sharing! You to Charles 😬
Here in Australia I own two classics myself (on my channel) but this gorgeous Buick has blown me away! Never before have I seen one and I must say I’m a wee bit jealous and you sure are one lucky lady to own such a prestigious looking vehicle. Stunning. I would be super proud also having this in my shed. Beautiful
Someone could spend hours just staring at this car
You could spend hours just counting all those little dimpled squares in the grille.
@@jjhpor Lol
I have !!!
There's like 160 of them.@@jjhpor
Like I’m gonna Do Now🤪🤣✌️
A TON of Chrome ! Today, you barely see ANY ! These were the days when cars were ART! A REAL CLASSIC ! It's a great car story !
Not only were they a work of art but weighed 5000 pounds and got 5 gallons to the mile.
It’s an extraordinary celebration of chrome
@@larrybruce4856 Sniiiif ah a land boat my favourite.
@@larrybruce4856 yup, likely true, and gas was a "confiscatory" 25 cents a gallon too then!! LOL ;D
Those things looked gaudy even for 1958!😮
My dad always said, Cadillac was the experimental division for Buick. To this day I still agree!!!
Oldsmobile, was!

Well Mark, I owned one of those miracles back in 61. It was a miracle I survived polishing all that chrome with DuPont #7. 😂

That’s exactly what I said when I purchased mine in 1961 for $1,558 dollars. The 6 saddest words for a car guy is.

Seen a few of these classic cars as a little boy back in the late 1950s. You can't take your eyes off them.
Damn that's a beautiful car. It looks a good deal like a 58 Buick Limited
If you don't believe the old term "They don't make them like that anymore" just look at this masterpiece of American design.
Wonderful Buick, I love the Dark green.
Bucketfuls of optimism, and truly astonishing that cars like this were ever built. Superb!
what a beauty.
This one made me weak in the knees!!!!😻
Hi charles awesome car love it wish it was in my garage . Cheers mate🇦🇺
Nice one Charles! Good for the wonderful woman owner who has invested a lot to maintain this beautiful MID-CENTURY MASTERPIECE!
This truly is a beautiful car. Love the chrome, color and interior. SUPER DUPER!
What a beautiful ride. I grew up with these cars... they were gorgeous. In '58, I was 16...
Absolutely STUNNING!!!
My dad had many Buicks. One was a 1957 Roadmaster 4 door hardtop. All original, Factory A/C and power windows.

There’s enough metal in this car to make 3 cars today !
Fantastic car & fantastic Color!!! A big thumbs up from me!👍🤗

They are about the same length as a modern Rolls Royce or a Range Rover give or take a few inches.
