I just saw this ad on Craigslist.  It's a pretty darn nice California transplant.  

I think it's reasonably priced especially given the cost of chroming and interior work to bring a crappy one to this level.

Amazing looking car.  Notice the orange sticker on the breather cap, which looks like it's been on there awhile and is original.  There has been some debate as whether cars actually had these; looks like they weren't just invented.

 

Still, I've seen a number of original 57-58 Buicks and hadn't seen one before.  I wonder if this was a CA thing?

One man I know went to the Power Big Meet

a few years ago in Vasteras, Sweden.  It is a 

car show far larger than AACA's Hershey show.

There were six 1959 Dodge convertibles there,

though the group of owners was trying for 10!

He lost count of all the 1958 Buicks he saw.

On Facebook Marketplace a 1958 Century 4 door hardtop recently popped up.  I haven’t seen this car before, so it was a bit of a surprise.  The dealer name on the trunk is Dickson Motors, which is local, but hasn’t operated under that name in decades.  

 

Bank account got drained today for a car for the youngest while away at school, so it won’t be joining my stable unless perhaps the lottery numbers come up for me tonight...I’d then need to deal with space constraints too.
