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
@@donaldpiper9763 My dad had a ‘64 Buick Special. He street parked it out front one night and incredibly, it was totaled in a rear end collision…also by what dad told me was a drunk driver. No fatalities except the car…The ‘64 was also almost totally chromeless.
@@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.
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!
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.
@@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
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 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.
Wow...what a *BEAUT* 😍 ...and talk about chrome & fin *HEAVEN* ...I know!!! ❤

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.
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
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,
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 😬
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.
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. ❤
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!
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
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...
This is the best of the best chrome-laden GM behemoth from the mind of Harley Earl. Check those rear bumper corner, 100lbs balls of PURE chrome on each corner. It's so bad, that it's good.
"Quality"? The nail head engine in that car would be burning oil before it got to 50k miles. The Dynaflow transmission sounded worse than a Japanese CVT and was incredibly inefficient. The drum brakes barely stopped the thing on a good day and not at all in the rain. Even the upholstery in those cars didn't last five years under normal wear. Enjoy the nostalgia of the styling but cars today are so much better in every way that you simply cannot compare them.
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.
The Dynaflow transmission actually has two speeds. The transmission will always start out in the High range unless the driver manually shifts into Low. That's why it seems to have just one speed, but there are two.
How interesting! Here in Australia the Holden car had a Powerglide transmission! 2 speed auto as well. Nowadays often put behind big horsepower engines as if built correctly,they can handle it.
I guess that transmission had to be able to handle huge torque figures ESPECIALLY as you correctly stated that it it operated in HIGH day in - day out . Would love a time machine to go back!
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.
I am the Chrome Queen. I absolutely love it. And I’ve always loved Buicks. I hadn’t heard of this one before. Just stunning! And the narration is top drawer! 🤩❤️ What a fortunate lady. 😊

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
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!😮
“Thank you Charles for your analysis of these treasures. You are so entertaining and unique.”
My dad always said, Cadillac was the experimental division for Buick. To this day I still agree!!!
Oldsmobile, was!
@@davidkirkham6497 - Yes, Oldsmobile was the technical experimental division of GM... Cadillac avoided the stupid things that Buick did... until 1982... LOL!

Thank you very much, Cindy. And thank you, Charles.
This is the most beautiful '58 Buick I've ever seen. Just magnificent!
& Cindy is beautiful too!
ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CARS OF THAT TIME....
I had to go to church after seeing this car….
I think I witnessed a miracle.
Well Mark, I owned one of those miracles back in 61. It was a miracle I survived polishing all that chrome with DuPont #7. 😂
@@TomSpeaks-vw1zp That had to be a labor of love…

Holly Cow. You hit another home run with this Buick. I love 1958, because the put on chrome with a trowel. The best ever.!
That is the most beautiful Buick I’ve ever seen.
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.
“ I wish I still had it.”
Seen a few of these classic cars as a little boy back in the late 1950s. You can't take your eyes off them.
That's when cars had style and class . Beautiful car !!!
This 1958 is one of the most beautiful buicks ever built. I'd like to marry Cindy
She's of the one in a million kind I think, a genuine classic car lady:) Very Rare.
And fabulous!:)
It brings tears to my eyes 👀👀👀👀!!!!
I would MUCH rather have the Buick over a Cadillac, even a 58 Eldorado!
Yep..... Cadillac's were for "new" money, Buick's were for "old" money.
Everything you could want without saying "look at me"
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.

Wonderful Buick, I love the Dark green.
Absolutely STUNNING!!!
What a BEAUTY ❤
Those ‘58 Buicks are the ultimate.
A real beauty.
There’s enough metal in this car to make 3 cars today !
Hi charles awesome car love it wish it was in my garage . Cheers mate🇦🇺
What a beautiful ride. I grew up with these cars... they were gorgeous. In '58, I was 16...
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.
and designed and tooled without computers or wind tunnels!
Bucketfuls of optimism, and truly astonishing that cars like this were ever built. Superb!
It’s pretty but I wanted a Cadillac. Due to the Aunts greed we get to enjoy this Beauty.
I wonder if she got her Cadillac and where that one went?
@@1940limited Maybe he still had it, or maybe the crushers, like many did, including ones like this, did!!
I cannot imagine a woman turning down this Buick Special responding with, "I Wanted a Cadillac." (!!??)
This one made me weak in the knees!!!!😻
This truly is a beautiful car. Love the chrome, color and interior. SUPER DUPER!
I wish we had cars like that in England but our roads are too small!
Just got back from your country, that's exactly what I was thinking.... my pickup would never make it in England. 😊

Well, you could always stick a ton of chrome on a Mini or an Anglia!
They are about the same length as a modern Rolls Royce or a Range Rover give or take a few inches.
Nice! My first car was a 1967 Buick Skylark. Too much car for a teenager but I survived. Hands down my favorite of all the cars I've owned.
Loved that one! My uncle bought one just months before he died of cancer. Wanted to buy it from my aunt but had no money.😢

@buzzwaldron better but was it stronger?
