  1. Better it meet "The End Of The Road" in a museum than the scrap yard as most of its brothers did!

  2. Well, I'm sure the poor old widow didn't know all the details of Buick history, models available, etc. The Roadmaster 75 was a Spring introduction in 1957 and is a very rare car. In 1958 they were all badged as Roadmaster 75s. Power windows, seat and steering was standard equipment on the Roadmaster for '58. It had coil springs in the rear, not leaves unless you opted for the disastrous Air Ride.

  3. When someone knows nothing about the subject but is trying to appear knowledgeable.

  4. The rear bumper insert should be black stripped, but it's virtually impossible to restore that aspect of a 58 Buick. Unless you have a nice original one, you're pretty much sunk with regards to that detail.

  5. It's missing the trim piece under the rear license plate. A common occurrence with 58 Buicks! I guess whoever restored it didn’t know it was supposed to be there or couldn't find one.

  6. Look at some 58 Buicks on Google images if you wan to and you will see the trim piece under the license plate. there were three holes in the bottom of the bumper to hold it in place. Every 58 I ever owned had it. It had to be removed to change the license plate. Usually it got discarded. Here's a link to a picture that shows the trim piece in place. https://www.google.com/search?q=1958+buick&biw=1680&bih=921&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAWoVChMIiPDUweycyQIVCVgmCh2oYQGS#imgrc=VLyEbXTcZcbAyM%3A

  7. 59s didn't have portholes, either. They came back in 1960.

  8. It's a shame these cars are all about the money and in museums or with rich guys that just want to see how much they can pay for something.

  9. These videos aren't long or detailed enough. I like the one Jay Leno did where he spent about 45 minutes going over the car, its history, design and even how to change a tire. I don't know what you do if you don't have the special tool for the hubs on the wire wheels.

  10. They came with Buick straight 8s or a small bus was available with a Chevrolet 6. Buses were offered in coach, mobile office and motor home designs, from the factory.
