  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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

  4. 59s didn't have portholes, either. They came back in 1960.
