1958buick Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Does anyone know where this 1958 Buick is or the story behind it? Lots of "Special" treatments to it. Bucket seats, red plaid interior, red accents in the side moldings and the list goes on.... Interesting ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Centurion Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 (edited) This photo shows a display of 1958 GM cars that received special attention from the "Damsels of Design". Here is the complete story. The photo in the original post shows the Feminine Auto Show in GM's Styling Dome: http://www.core77.com/posts/49498/The-Story-Behind-GMs-Celebrated-Damsels-of-Design Edited February 8, 2018 by Centurion (see edit history) 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1958buick Posted February 8, 2018 Author Share Posted February 8, 2018 Thanks Centurion. The photo I posted, I saw on Ebay. I have seen this photo and others before but have always wondered what happened to the cars after the show? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raugusti Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Last I read the only one of these cars that had been found was Corvette: https://www.solidaxlecorvettemi.com/?lightbox=imagezy7 From what I remember it had been repainted and sold on after the show, but the original paint was found during restoration and it was then restored as it appeared for the show.

JohnD1956 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Those seats in that Corvette remind me a little of the seats in my former 95 Riviera. Comfy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NTX5467 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Thanks for that link! Interesting to see all of the cubbyholes, drawers, pouches, pockets, and such in those cars! NTX5467 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smartin Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Anyone notice the extra trim on the Limited? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glassesguy Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Definitely overkill. Glad they removed it in production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the length of the rear quarters that trim would certainly be some custom work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
