I agree...if it were a perfect world. Unfortunately, if the automotive accountants think a $50. screen is "better" than $100. worth of buttons and knobs, and they convince the marketeers to hype and sell the newest technology for even more money, the designers are powerless. Remember the history of the Pinto and the cheap brace that could have saved lives. There are more examples, but you get the point.

On a serious note, here is the actual film of NEW construction collapsing due to poor design, not age or neglect. The Tacoma Narrows bridge lasted four months. Other than one car, the only loss of life was Tubby, a dog, who was too traumatized at the time to be rescued. neither were ever found.

On a related note, in 1940, a four month old suspension bridge in Washington state collapsed due to design errors. The Tacoma Narrows bridge - the collapse was filmed as below:

Here's what I found on the internet.

translation: Head number 211-1008-0?1 I can't read the second digit from the end 😞 what year of the head is this?

I see the wing nuts at the top of the windshield, but the stanchions are fixed (with screws) to the cowl. The glass can open forward over the cowl at the bottom for ventilation, but not fold down like later Model A roadsters.

This was marketed as a mid-sized car in the '60's. It looks MUCH larger by today's standard. At 180,000 miles, it might be due for some serious maintenance...might not. A good contrast to getting "less for more" if you buy a current year car.

I can recall all of the popular AM stations and most of their on-air personalities back in the '50's and '60's in my old home town. But now having lived as a transplant in another city for the past 40 years, I have never become an AM radio listener. The last time I gave the dial a sweep it was all talking heads and screaming commercials - and very few of those in English. FM seems to broadcast more of what some people call "music", but it certainly is not to my taste. The radios in my old cars have not been turned on in years and years; not sure if any of them work anymore. As a little kid at home, AM provided hours of entertainment for the whole family before the TV appeared and started AM radio's slow death. Whatever AM's demographics are today, I don't understand how it has survived as a broadcast medium this long.

Probably not a bad deal, if you like 4-door sedans...lights seem to work OK. https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/cto/d/tacoma-1959-buick-invicta/7605143993.html 1959 Buick Invicta, rare car! 401 Nailhead runs smooth, interior is nice.

Where are the rare fender skirts as stated in the ad? That 2010 repaint is not right. Two tone Comets (and Falcons) had the body painted one color and just the top in a contrasting or complementary color. OK as a "survivor" but too rough for the asking price.

One of my favorite Pontiacs, but the fender skirts would have to go. Then I'd try to find a set of 8-lug aluminum factory wheels and drums. (BAT pricing for a FB car.)

Wow, that's over 169 inches long (14+ feet). Does that include a trunk/rack and/or a rear mounted spare tire? Is that length with the top up or down?

This is a rather rare beast. Only 568 2-door Voyagers were built in '58. Thanks for the pictures.

Could be a real sleeper...but the price is way out there.

Local dirt-track racer that's seen better days. It'll probably see the crusher before it sees another race track. (If it doesn't rust into the earth first)

I was doing some research about my wife's collection of antique cast iron Wagner Ware cookware and came across a couple of photos of interest. Wagner was located in Sidney, Ohio, from 1891 to 1953. They were the largest and oldest cast iron foundry in the USA. I thought that there might be a link to early auto parts manufacturing as they were bought out by a company named Randall, a car parts manufacturer in the 1950's. However, the trail turns cold through many other sales, purchases, and relocation of subsequent owners and facilities. Maybe an AACA member in Ohio or one associated with cast iron foundries, or even some relationship with Wagner can provide more information and even a link to auto parts production. P.S. Can you identify the salesman's car? Wagner salesman c. 1910 Wagner Manufacturing plant in Sidney, Ohio (1913)

...and the mud flaps, and the too obvious turn signal lamps, and is that a siren hanging under the hood? The Johns-Manville stencil on the insulation is distracting to me. Maybe it could be flipped over to the blank side or even sprayed over with a little flat paint. Looks like rust-through on the very end of the body beyond the gas tank. That's the problem with providing so many photos.😊 That's all my nits...otherwise, a neat car.

My dad told a story about his attending a board track race in Fresno, CA, in the 1920's when he was a high school student. He experienced the noise and excitement for many laps until a collision happened in front of the stands. As a car spun out of control and smashed the retaining fence, the unattached end of a loose timber caught the driver in the lower chest area and eviscerated him. That was the last auto race my father ever attended in his 90+ years. The newspaper later said that the timber had to be cut to remove the body.

Wide whites were not popular in 1962. 2" or even 1" whitewalls were the current style. The fat whitewalls on this car gives it a certain cartoon flavor.
