58 Buick Needs Somebody To Love

Recommended Posts

Craigs' List ads have a maddening way of expiring,

rendering the links dead. So to lengthen this Buick's

ad life, I'll copy the text from the seller's ad:

"1958 Buick Special.......... runs good no power steering has power brakes. Cracked driver and passenger original windows. Has a little over 71,000 original miles on original motor. A little rust ( it is a 58') Needs a tune up. Was asking $14,000.........Reduced to Sell at 10,500. Please call if intrested. Serious inquiries only please. Call leave voice mail at 541-730-199three. Thanks for looking. "

Hope this helps a buyer weeks or months from now!

Mr Earl beat me to posting photos of the car. I still had them in my browser's cache. I saw this ad a few weeks ago. The only turn off to me was the interior. I would have otherwise taken the time to see it.

When I think about it I can't recall seeing a redone interior that was better looking than the factory, when its redone in non original materials and/ or colors... Seems to me that the stylists at the factory style studios either consistently get it 'right' or maybe we are just used to the original and don't like change...

Nothing PERSONAL, but I have seen plenty of new interiors that are simply BEAUTIFUL. All you need to do is attend a street rod show, and you will understand what I am talking about.

Paul Atkins out of the south along with other shops are putting out stunning interiors, Some original, and many custom themes. The 54 of Coker's car is an example.
